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.

    What a nothing story. Pretty much reads as, “we asked, they said we can’t talk about it but if anything happened we’re looking into it.”

    Lonnie sucks. It’s too bad I’m not an incredibly rich asshole who can break laws regarding financial stuff, slander, and stochastic terrorism while getting away with it.
