The Secret Service has launched a probe into an X post by Elon Musk in which he tweeted that “no one is even trying” to kill Kamala Harris or Joe Biden.

The tech billionaire deleted the post on his X platform and passed it off as a “joke.” However, the White House did not find it funny and instead called it “irresponsible.”

“Violence should only be condemned, never encouraged or joked about,” the White House said in a statement. Now the Secret Service is involved.

I wish I too could know if I've ever been probed by the secret service or some other government agency. I've made some risky jokes on reddit before.

All cool people get on a list one way or another

Hey Grok, what's a good recipe for cooking rich people?

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's best to start with fresh materials so you're going to want to dress them shortly before preparation.

Musk is a proven weirdo nutcase. What a collection of weird crazies - Elon, RFK Jr, JD Vance and the orange felon, along with little "Moses", Johnson and the entire House "freedom" caucus.

I REALLY hope Taylor Swift finds some legal way to sue him for threatening to forcibly impregnate her against her will.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the guy is terrible but threatening to forcibly impregnate is not how I read that tweet. Didn't he say "okay I will give you a child" or some shit. That doesn't imply non consent, it sounded to me as an offer, which was gross. Could maybeee be considered harassment, but 1 tweet would be hard to classify as that as well. It would be like trying to make catcalling illegal. It's gross, but by no means would it ever make a law that wouldn't be abused.

It'd be so cool if it was found out that Musk was an illegal immigrant and he got deported back to south africa.

There's no way a killing joke could ever involve tragedy.
