Musk deletes post about Harris and Biden assassination after widespread criticism

Maybe he has been shadowbanned.

For him to be smart he really comes off as slow. Should someone who gets as much attention as him really be asking why is nobody trying to assassinate people who are leading the country he is living in?

For him to be smart he really comes off as slow. 

he is smart for sure, but is also autistic or aspergers or something - finds it difficult to stop his mouth saying stuff (or hands typing stuff) that could have negative ramifications...remember the 'pedo guy' incident from the kids in the thai cave?

why is nobody trying to assassinate people who are leading the country he is living in?

Assassination attempts on any politician shouldn't be tolerated and should be denounced by anybody whether you like the person's politics or not.

Very stupid man. Did he also delete his comment about Taylor Swift?

Well, his statement was correct, but I can see how people find it in bad taste. If he deletes it himself after criticism, that is fine with me. Big Brother interfering and removing it would be a different story.

Calling Musk "very stupid" is rich. And who cares what comments he deletes himself?

There is a reason why we call them weird lol. People like Musk and Vance, if they talked less and instead of posting the crap they post if they posted Simpsons or Family Guy memes they would have been a decent person in this day and age. They don't understand the trend of everytime they open their mouth more people lose respect for them

I love how the entitled left criticizes Musk constantly….using the platform he allows them to use, that he owns.

talk about lack of self awareness.

musk wouldn’t last a minute here. ;)

IDK man looking at your playbook a man is supposed to raise and take care of his family. His own fan base is full of people who would bully his kids, his kids also called him an incel as well and it's true because instead of being there for his children he's tweeting like a school girl trying to start drama around the world

musk wouldn’t last a minute here. ;)

I'd like him to buy JT, just for the reaction among certain posters here.

Why is this even being called an assassination attempt? No shots were fired by the suspect, he was far away from trump’s entourage and was nowhere in the line of sight. Shouldn’t the headlines read, “Suspect with gun arrested near trump’s golf course?” Public opinion is shaped by the headlines and people like Musk on social media need to be more responsible. But then I forgot, he's Musk and he can be as irresponsible as he wants and people will still worship him.

Allows them to use? Either he pretends to support free speech or he doesn't. Can't have it both ways, so "allowing" isn't part of the equation.

You mean the platform he brought for the wrong reasons? Like trying to control peoples minds and spread misinformation and brainwash the people who believe everything they read online.

I think the lack of self awareness is literally standing by everything Musk says. You never criticized him so you believe it is okay for somebody to talk like that to your daughters or wife? If Biden screws up I hold him accountable, since the beginning he shouldn't have been sending weapons to Israel. But Reps are built different, they blindly follow somebody without knowing what is actually going on just repeating their words without understanding the meaning of them

Yup, yup, you can’t do THAT.

They can joke and crack up about attempts on the other guys LIFE, but YOU can’t.

It's funny until the Secret Service knocks on your door.

"musk wouldn’t last a minute here. ;).........I'd like him to buy JT, just for the reaction among certain posters here."

Good one, LOL.

More evidence that Musk has gone off the deep end and needs a mental health intervention ASAP...

I'm not sure who is more mentally ill - the guy who falsely says Haitians are stealing and eating pets or his supporter who tweets threats to the current President and VP...

What's next, a ride on an Space-X rocket or a free Cybertruck for the first person to take a shot at Biden or Harris?

This guy is seriously disturbed - get him in an institution before he fully self-implodes...

It is an interesting to think how Murdock of Fox News and Musk both drive the conservative ideology and right wing propaganda in America through their media companies, and they are both foreigners. America’s interest is not in their mind, but they are likely being directed by other foreign powers.

Just a super-rich clown with millions of clown- followers. Remove his wealth and he's an ordinary clown with only a few followers.

“Why they want to kill Donald Trump?”

The ubiquitous yet never-named "they", the conspiracy theory pushers favorite pronoun.

Just a super-rich clown with millions of clown- followers.

I think libs are just angry because Musk made the platform for everyone and not just lib echo chamber voices.

Remove his wealth and he's an ordinary clown with only a few followers.

That’s like saying, remove all liberals and peaceful shall reign supreme in the world.

I know right but the average person who follows Musk doesn't know he was born in South Africa with a Canadian mother. Hell he probably would have gotten people on Mars by now if he hasn't spent thousands of hours being an online dooshe

Another good reason to hope that Harris wins the election (other than, you know, keeping democracy as a functioning part of the US): it will drive Musk insane.

Suited his agenda to post and then delete. Childish comments from a child.

It is an interesting to think how Murdock of Fox News and Musk both drive the conservative ideology and right wing propaganda in America through their media companies, and they are both foreigners.

Now American citizens and it’s the older Murdoch who’s conservative, not his idiot sons, but the genius behind FNC was Roger Ailes.

America’s interest is not in their mind,

It absolutely is, that is why they do what they do, half of the country doesn’t want to be ruled and told what to do by the lib elites, sorry.

but they are likely being directed by other foreign powers.

Oh boy, here we go…

"The ubiquitous yet never-named "they", the conspiracy theory pushers favorite pronoun."

"They" pronoun is fully approved by the Democrats. No true supporter should question " they". Making fun or questioning the existence of "they" goes against core woke Democrat values.

It absolutely is, that is why they do what they do, half of the country doesn’t want to be ruled and told what to do by the lib** elites, sorry.**

Regarding the word "elites" there, this reminds me of something that Matt Groening once said. Groening was a big fan of Frank Zappa (who, btw, referred to himself as a "practical conservative"), and said, in an interview,

"Americans are really suspicious of anything cerebral, and Zappa doesn't disguise his intelligence well enough"

This constant reference to "liberal elites" sounds like a perfect example of what Groening was talking about. Funny how we never hear reference to "conservative elites", isn't it? As if intelligence is something to be derided in conservative circles.

The people behind the scenes fear a Trump presidency, so they want him taken out. Harris and Walz don't represent a threat to these people.

You know when Elon Musk is involved in politics, democratic health is fading.

Musk's reply was quickly condemned by many X users,

Oh, look! There still are some liberals on X!

Musk posted that "no one is even trying to assassinate” President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris

And yet it's true. And it's not even a joke. This is a valid and fair comment. It's NOT a suggestion for violence! It's pointing out that people are being violent toward Trump because of fear, hatred or sheer lunacy, yet people insist on calling him a bad guy.

The problem with Musk is that he is not as smart as he thinks. In fact, he seems naive.

Musk has long been trying to “push the boundaries of free speech, in part by engaging in impulsive, unfiltered comments on a range of political topics.”

It is called pushing the Overton Window to the right to allow unfettered CORPORATE ' speech as well as a lot of hate to keep the masses roiling and divided.

Musk may be high on his microdoses and ADHD but he is not stupid.

He did have one of the best inspirations in Iain Banks.

Trump is a means to an end for Musk, a egomaniac using a narcissist.

Do you find it acceptable that Musk publicly offered to impregnate Taylor Swift?

Musk's offer to impregnate Taylor Swift? His estranged trans daughter mocks him

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/did-elon-musk-offer-to-impregnate-taylor-swift-his-estranged-trans-daughter-mocks-him/articleshow/113302906.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst

The bottom line is this: Whether it's Trump calling Harris a Marxist, or Harris calling trump a threat to democracy, whether it incites people to cause violence on the opposition depends on the person interpreting it as such. However, actively asking people to do something, such as actually shooting them, or killing them would be considered inciting violence, and so far, both sides have not done that.

Having said all that, I sincerely doubt these two gun incidents (and I'm not sure this second one should be considered an attempt on Trump's life since no shots were fired), were done because of what Democrats have said. It's more likely due to what Trump had said (or maybe not said). The fact is that these two people were Trump supporters and even voted for him, so it stands to reason that they attended his rallies and/or listened to him speak a lot. Something in his speech triggered them to do what they did.

Are these people insane or what?!

Just another loser with a megaphone.

Poor wording but he's not wrong.

Compare the number of death threats to Trump x Biden and Kamala.

That's all you need to know about the left.

Why are the dems to blame for violent, gun obsessed republicans trying to shoot their own candidate?

"The problem with Musk is that he is not as smart as he thinks. In fact, he seems naive."

The hardcore Dems expert crowd on the other hand...;)

Elon Musk should not be a role model for people to follow. He doesn't understand how to treat people fairly, how to treat women, and how to even raise his own kids. He just says and tweets weird and creepy things. I guess birds of a feather do actually flock together.

> half of the country doesn’t want to be ruled and told what to do

Yes, most women don't want to be told what to do with their own bodies. Most veterans don't want to be told that they are losers and that their sacrifice of service is less valuable than a normal citizen. Most people don't want to be told to pick which ethnicity they should consider themselves to be.

Also, right after Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris, there was a spike in voter registration. It's clear that people on the left do incite people to take action, but with their voice and vote. That pales in comparison to the actions that Trump supporters take when they are incited. They tend to bring their guns to rallies and protests. Let's not forget that in the last election, it was the right who brought their guns to voting centers to try to intimidate voters. If bringing in your guns, asking the Proud boys to be ready, and to

Sorry, meant to complete the last line as this:

"If bringing in your guns, asking the Proud boys to be ready, and to practically beg people to march with him is not inciting violence, then I don't know what is."

I love how the entitled left criticizes Musk constantly

The US used to love Trump for many decades as an entertainer and businessman, Musk has always been admired for his space endeavours, creativity and electric cars the Democrats love...

Until the directives changed. Orange man bad.

So Musk posted this indirect threat to POTUS and VPOTUS, then he himself deleted it....why?

Did he repudiate it and say it was a mistake?

Did he think it was too provocative and could incite violence?

Or did he just cave, fold, and surrender?

That's an interesting one. Musk clearly thinks that he's above the law and that because he owns Twatter, he can say whatever he likes, just like any other teenage edgelord. So if he deletes a tweet, he must be pretty worried about something.

Very stupid man. Did he also delete his comment about Taylor Swift?

Dunno, don’t really care. I just think it’s rich when liberals complain about Musk or any conservative for saying controversial, when libs do it, complete silence.

My opinion/comment is my own. I don't tweet.

But you comment, same thing, different platform

Do you find it acceptable that Musk publicly offered to impregnate Taylor Swift?

I personally don’t care what he says, do I think it’s good, not really, but do I care? Not really.

Well, then she mocks him

Thank god Trump doesn't post on X anymore, but if he did, we'd be bombarded by stupid posts like "I hate Taylor Swift". Which is funny since he not too long ago, in an interview, was more positive about her. In fact, his actual description of her was: “I think she’s beautiful, very beautiful. I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually— unusually beautiful.”

But as soon as she says to vote Harris, he hates her. So childish. Actually, even less that what many children would do. I know my son is much more mature than that.

Those of us who don't want to be spoonfed propaganda don't mess with Twitter. It is his own foolishness that brings awareness to his stupidity so we know how much of a loony toon he is without ever logging in to Twitter. And I don't know a single person over 20 that uses TikTok either

Wait until he finds out that Project 2025 has ways of dealing with naturalized citizens who fall out of favor with the administration.

Just another loser with a megaphone.

Hey! That's "Billionaire loser" to you! Show some respect!

He absolutely does post on X.

but if he did, we'd be bombarded by stupid posts like "I hate Taylor Swift". Which is funny since he not too long ago, in an interview, was more positive about her.

Then you need to look harder. And if he changes his mind, who cares, people are allowed to change their minds whenever they want.

In fact, his actual description of her was: “I think she’s beautiful, very beautiful. I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually— unusually beautiful.”

Yeah, but she’s still a moon at. Never trust a woman that writes songs about breaking up with men and how pathetic they are. That’s a big clue right there.

You one of these Losers?

Being a Republican right now is like being on a burning sinking ship, the longer you stand by your Maga heroes the more life-threatening the situation is that your in. Do you really hate Democrats so much that you will rather throw away your moral values and humanity than abandon ship and admit that Trump was the wrong choice for the Republican party.

"The problem with Musk is that he is not as smart as he thinks. In fact, he seems naive."

The hardcore Dems expert crowd on the other hand...;)

They do have a very poor sense of irony, don't they! ;-)

"Violence should only be condemned, never encouraged or joked about,” said White House spokesperson Andrew Bates in response to Musk's post. “This rhetoric is irresponsible.”

Both parties need to look hard on the mirror. But the hypocrisy and self righteous of the Dems is evident.

Being a Republican right now is like being on a burning sinking ship, the longer you stand by your Maga heroes the more life-threatening the situation is that your in.

Far, far from it

Do you really hate Democrats so much that you will rather throw away your moral values and humanity than abandon ship and admit that Trump was the wrong choice for the Republican party.

The Democrat party today is run by a bunch of egomaniacs with Marxist and socialist tendencies, not the party of JFK anymore when they stood for freedom and individualism.

Not throwing a jab but this is a legit question because I just don't understand

So where do I begin?

Far, far from it

How so? What is something positive Trump actually plans to do? Not a threat or false promise but something that makes the lives of all Americans easier?

The Democrat party today is run by a bunch of egomaniacs with Marxist and socialist tendencies, not the party of JFK anymore when they stood for freedom and individualism.

What makes them egomaniacs or Marxist? It just sounds like pointless name calling when they actually care about peace and stability. Years ago when it was Obama and Romney it wasn't threats being thrown, not as much name calling and probably less hatred and racism yet you will continue to tell me that Trump is the most ideal for president comparing who is running now and who has been running for election the past 20 years

Musk is a despicable individual. The world would be a better place without him and his Chinese-made garbage.

Marxist and socialist tendencies

What’s the difference again?

He absolutely does post on X.

He posts on Truth Social, where he can get to more Trump fans.

David Brent -

The people behind the scenes fear a Trump presidency, so they want him taken out. Harris and Walz don't represent a threat to these people.

Who exactly are "these people"? Be specific.

Speaking cryptically just reeks of a strawman argument.

How so? What is something positive Trump actually plans to do?

Not a threat or false promise but something that makes the lives of all Americans easier?

Fixing the economy, the border, the wall, sending illegals back, stop regulation, fracking, focusing on the U.S. first and foremost, trying to end these senseless wars, helping more people to keep their money in their pockets, giving the police the protection and tools they need to do their jobs. For starters…

What makes them egomaniacs or Marxist?

Rhetorical question???

It just sounds like pointless name calling when they actually care about peace and stability.

Income redistribution is not stable

Years ago when it was Obama and Romney it wasn't threats being thrown, not as much name calling and probably less hatred and racism

Different time and different era, back then liberals were actually sensible, smart and pragmatic.

yet you will continue to tell me that Trump is the most ideal for president comparing who is running now and who has been running for election the past 20 years

Absolutely, especially when it comes to getting us out of this nightmare quagmire that we all had to suffer and endure for the last 4 years.

He posts on Truth Social, where he can get to more Trump fans.

He has enough on X, YouTube and Rumble as well.

The Democrat party today is run by a bunch of egomaniacs with Marxist and socialist tendencies, not the party of JFK anymore when they stood for freedom and individualism.

As usual demonstrates a total ignorance of history.

JFK supported a stronger social safety net, supported civil rights, advocated for reducing poverty, and proposed increasing some axes on the wealthy. He was called a 'socialist' for his support of civil rights.

Eisenhower before him had taxes of up to 90 percent on the wealthiest and corporations.

Trump and Musk throw around these terms to move the Overton Window of discourse to the right for corporations.

He’s a free speech absolutist. Except for when it’s speech he doesn’t agree with.

The US used to love Trump for many decades as an entertainer and businessman

Not true. He was widely disliked and ridiculed at the end of the last century. He just became much more widely disliked and ridiculed in this one.

Fixing the economy, the border, the wall, sending illegals back, stop regulation, fracking, focusing on the U.S. first and foremost, trying to end these senseless wars, helping more people to keep their money in their pockets, giving the police the protection and tools they need to do their jobs. For starters…

Fixing the economy with what higher tariffs on imported goods and threatening countries who need help and protection? That won't fix anything. I don't understand what illegals? He has no power to get other countries to stop fighting. He would turn the tide in the Russia vs Ukraine war by making it one sided so Russia has a better chance of winning. There is nothing he can do to stop Israel and he wants the US to opt out of NATO. Police need better training not protection but you wouldn't understand that because you have tunnel vision.

What makes them egomaniacs or Marxist?

Rhetorical question???

You have yet to use your own words to explain why you believe that?

Different time and different era, back then liberals were actually sensible, smart and pragmatic.

The close minded way of thinking is thinking it is only the Democratic side is the cause for anything and everything. Lacking accountability plays a big part in it. When Obama was running Republicans had hawk eyes on him 24/7 trying everything they can to try to think of a reason to discredit Obama. Going as far as trying to deny him being American or deny him being African American. But now there is no hesitation with the name calling and low blows now it comes from the one running for president

As usual demonstrates a total ignorance of history.

No, spot on as usual

JFK supported a stronger social safety net, supported civil rights, advocated for reducing poverty, and proposed increasing some axes on the wealthy. He was called a 'socialist' for his support of civil rights. 

He kinda was, but he also supported civil rights not because he necessarily wanted to, but it was politically feasible and if that helps to get more votes, so be it, Dems also didn’t believe in income redistribution the way their Karl Marx brethren do today.

Eisenhower before him had taxes of up to 90 percent on the wealthiest and corporations. 

And Southern Democrats didn’t like or wanted Black people or any other minority including Jews and Catholics near them.

Trump and Musk throw around these terms to move the Overton Window of discourse to the right for corporations.

Libs think they’re the only one that knows the term, then I can say, the left don’t understand or know the first thing about Capitalism or what conservatism means.

Not true. He was widely disliked and ridiculed at the end of the last century.

No, he was very well liked, that’s why he had the number one hit show for 14 years in a row

He just became much more widely disliked and ridiculed in this one.

Because he was the first Non-politician to challenge the status quo and since they realized he won’t conform to their will and they can’t control him, he became a threat to the establishment. I love it.

Folks need to be very honest about the very separate instances of dems (elected officials) using rhetoric very clearly to incite harm to President Trump, not just recently, but also since 2015, saying things like "he must be stopped by any means", and people suggesting his decapitation and murder ("Hamilton" and Kathy Griffin). Using the phrase "threat to democracy" willy-nilly, comparisons to Hitler, etc....

Yes, all of that rhetoric is heavily skewed coming from the left.

And have there been any actual assassination plots towards democrats? As far as I know, there haven't, and that's a good thing. I think that's what Musk was correctly pointing out, and NOT suggesting there should be.
