Elon Musk, the billionaire king of bad takes, came up with a new one to cement his reign on Sunday night.

Responding to a second potential assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life, the X owner questioned why no one was trying to kill the Democratic president and vice president.

“And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala,” he posted, adding a thinking-face emoji.

A near-instantaneous firestorm of criticism predictably followed, with several people telling him to “delete your account” and others tagging the U.S. Secret Service’s X account.

      There is zero evidence for the Obama birther story, “The Big Lie” for the 2020 election, the Springfield Haitians, Kamala’s audio device earnings, or any other story the GOP tries to push. Since when is evidence really needed for them?

      I mean I’m just asking questions here. If the implications make the GOP uncomfortable maybe they should address them.

          Who said anything about solutions. Like I said, I am just asking questions here.

            Republicans are promoting baseless conspiracy theories, yes. However, that doesn’t mean we should do the same and promote the “both sides are the same uniparty” idea. (Which is why I have offered my own kounterconspiraschietheory below.)

      Why haven’t they released the long-form voter history and the forum post archives from Kenya? What are they hiding?
