    The shooter was Republican, but of course maga is claiming he’s a democrat because he was critical of Trump in the past. They’re also spreading around a fake donation to the dems using the wrong last name.

    Now Leon is enticing violence against Harris and Walz because of two republicans shooters. And of course the MSM is not reporting on the shooter being a republican

    Pull his defense contracts.

    I don’t know how easy that would be to do, but this man is a national security risk.

  3. …and by “firestorm” they mean nothing like the hell Colin Kaepernick went through for the non-violent act of taking a knee during the flag song.

  4. Tone-deaf, spectrum-funny-not-funny at the very least. And from the world’s richest man who owns Twitter … unacceptable.

    I hope advertisers abandon the platform and Threads, Blue Sky, whatever fills the void in a much better way.

  5. Can we just stop visiting xitter already? I swear, my generation is the worst ever at boycotting things.

  6. They should do a

    Defund Elon Musk movement and strip him off all his government grants. I’m tried of this welfare queen.

    “Why haven’t people tried to assassinate Harris?” The honest answer is they probably have, they just haven’t gotten close enough to be worth any serious mention or discussion. Would-be “assassins” get picked up in routine sweeps the overwhelming majority of the time, long before they can be a credible threat. This guy didn’t get any closer, but Trump wants to shout about it from the rooftops anyway because it forces his disastrous debate performance and Springfield blood libel routine out of the news cycle and gives him a way to paint himself as a victim again.

  8. > Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on X

    He really is a moron when it comes to social things. A group of people laughing at whatever the billionaires says?

    He’s about aware as box of rocks.

    This clown needs to lose his citizenship or permanent work visa however, the fuck he’s here in the United States. I’m so sick of him.

  10. Serious question: what is the right course of action here? Everything he does is for engagement, and he’s very good at it. Offering to impregnate Taylor Swift, “joking” about assassinating a politician. It feels like everyone should just ignore him. But ignoring him doesn’t feel feasible or even responsible.

    What is everyone supposed to do about people like him and Trump?

  11. Nationalize SpaceX and put him in prison for fraud, hate speech, market manipulation and enabling child exploitation.

    It’s a slam dunk case. He should spend the rest of his life in prison.

  12. Funny how he thinks the ‘joke’ didn’t translate into text instead of thinking he’s surrounded by sycophants who laugh on command

  13. Republicans: “Guns, guns, guns for everyone!”

    Also Republicans: “ Democrats hateful rhetoric is causing gun violence”.

    It’s safe to say that if an “ordinary person” had posted this, they would be dealing with law enforcement now

  15. Remove this man’s security clearances

    Force him to either lose all this defence contracts or name a replacement for him in these key roles.

    Ban him from government buildings.

    He’s inciting assasination attacks on the VP.

  16. > Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something ~~to a group~~ at my KKK meeting and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be ~~all that hilarious~~ well received as a ~~post~~ sentence fragment on Xitter and it gets seen by non-racist adults that have critical thinking capabilities.

    **FTFY Elon**. Maybe hire someone to proofread your xits for spelling, grammar and more importantly content.

    Hugely surprised that you don’t get a visit from the FBI, threats against the VP are not taken lightly.

  17. It wasn’t a fucking joke, it was an accusation. The clear implication was that Biden & Harris were behind the attempts.

    Stop using Shitter/Twitter, don’t buy Teslas, sell your Teslas, lobby the US govt to find or develop other space vendors to replace SpaceX.

    What I miss most about the Apollo Reddit app was being able to block posts containing keywords, like this shitstain’s name or that of Cheeto Benito.
