I think he needs a special interview.
This, I've known people who got knocks on their door by the FBI and SS for posting dumb shit they weren't serious about as a "joke." They take that shit seriously I guess only when its lone wolves that can't do as much damage and not people rich enough to fund a small army.
But rich people have a different set of rules. And people who are unimaginably rich have no rules.
My friend went to a different high school than me and for some reason they had a forum with open sign ups.
The FBI showed up at my school because I said I was gonna punch the mascot in the face...
That sucks that happened to you, but thanks for the chuckle at the absurdity of the situation!
I'll add to the absurdity for you: The agent asked me, "does this sound familiar?" and recited my forum signature which was a short poem about a sailing goat
Turns out a rich person can just buy a social media platform and fuck with elections and stuff.
When you stack SCOTUS they just let you do it.
Everything a rich person does is Correct™ because they're rich and obviously that means God™ blessed them.

Isn't the straightforward answer to his question that people don't want Harris or Biden dead enough to put themselves at risk of death or arrest?
Why be baffled when the answer is obvious?
Because he wants to spread rumors of conspiracy theories, as that is the only thing that would redeem someone like Trump.
We should also point out that because Trump said he's going to be put in a cabinet position we can take this as a direct word from the Trump campaign.
The correct response is for thousands of people to respond on Xitter with, "And no one is even trying to assassinate Musk 🤔"
Which would be worse for him: someone actually trying to do so as a result of said post, or realizing that no one wants to because no one cares enough about him?
He's implying that he thinks that someone should, but even the literal point he's making is not true.
Actually, I suspect he's implying that nobody's trying to assassinate Harris because all the democracy-hating assassins are on her side, or she's the one setting them up, or something to that effect.
It's still the sort of slander which in a reasonable world he'd be called on, but that seems unlikely
Fellas, is it a crime to advocate for the assassination of the current vice president?
Because that could be another one of Donald's charges. Just saying.
Biden/Kamala
Not just the current vice president. The current President of the United States.
Easy to forget in this lunacy of an election campaign, but Biden is still president.
It has been reported that this has now been deleted. He called it a joke, but damn what a terrible joke.
It wasn't a joke. That's his go-to excuse when people generally decide he's said something atrocious.
It's also the go to excuse when getting called out when gaslighting someone.
The "It's just a joke, bro" defense. Classic defense.
‘Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?’
Closed my X account a couple days ago. He's truly gotten out of control and my feed had become riddled with conspiracy theory fear-mongering garbage. Good riddance. I encourage others to leave as well, it's the only way he's held accountable unfortunately.
I ditched the day he took over. Maximum nope.
Elon Musk is the joke. It’s just not funny.
Why isn't anyone even trying to guillotine our billionare megalomaniacs? 🤔
Just a joke? Which of his wives will he blame for posting that? Isn’t that what conservatives all do? Blame their wives?
Funny enough, two posts away from this one it sure sounds like someone is threatening Harris’ life.
Hate to break it to you E, but the Secret Service does not give a fuck if you were joking.
Can the secret service please just go get this guy? No? Oh well.
And no one is even trying to assassinate the richest fascist in the world.
Yeah because everybody everywhere doesn't want then dead/irrelevant.
I get a kick out of it STILL only being trump people who are trying to kill trump. It's like if reality were trying to paint trump supporters in an overly negative and biased light.
And the American Oligarch will continue to face no consequences for his actions.
i mean yeah, nobody is really trying that... They aren't really divisive figures, the divisive shit they do talk about is entirely made up.
With the way klansmen in Ohio fell on the local Haitian automotive workforce like ravenous hyenas, I don't think you need more than that to turn certain people in the US absolutely feral.
Just whisper "Kamala Harris ate my dog" into the Internet and you'll have a military parade of psycho rednecks calling for her head.
imagine fake laughing for this guy
