The richest man in the world, who also happens to be a U.S. defense contractor, is being criticized on social media on Sunday after questioning why people aren’t trying to assassinate Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump over the weekend was tackled by his own Secret Service after an individual was reportedly spotted hiding on the former president’s golf course behind a bush with an AK-47. Authorities say they fired at the man, who was later apprehended and is being questioned.
A graphic designer posted a question, “Why they want to kill Donald Trump?” Elon Musk, who owns the social media company that he renamed from Twitter to “X,” posted a controversial statement in response.
“And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala,” Musk wrote with a “thinking face” emoji.
The comment did not go over well.
I wish we had a legal way to force musk out of spacex. I want spacex to succeed, I think it’s in our nature as humans to want to explore beyond our own planet. I don’t think it should be under private control of fascist billionaires with the interests of building feudalist space colonies
This would send shockwaves through the market that it may not recover from. If rich people think their assets can be nationalized for any reason they will panic and bail
Sorry, should have specified “a realistic way to legally…” I think I would shit out actual gold before the Supreme Court voted to nationalize anything, much less spacex
Ooo what if we had a federal administration that covered the national aeronautical and space needs of the country…
