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.

    If I threatened to impregnate someone and called for stochastic terrorism against a vice president, I’d be in a cell real quick.

    But when you’re a slavery mine heir and tech tagalong, it’s just “bad takes” I guess.

      You’re over estimating the weight that a comment has on “lemmy.”

      Or, for that matter, any comment anywhere on the internet.
