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.

    Make sure to forget the lube when probing him. And make him bleed.

      It’s not that you “found the Musk fanboys,” it’s that sexual assault jokes are neither funny nor acceptable.

        Oh, my mistake. I didn’t mean to offend anyone’s sensibilities where Musk would get exactly what he deserves. But thanks for making me a better person.
