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.
Padme: So they’re going to cancel his defense contract, right?
SpaceX is beating the pants off every other domestic launch provider unfortunately. All because Musk took some fantastic risks with his own money, and they paid off handsomely. And the worst part is SpaceX is a private company: no public shareholders to keep Musk in check.
You may have heard about ULA having a wee bit of trouble with some capsule thrusters. They have lost some truly epic amounts of money on that program.
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

Not like the Tesla or Twitter shareholders are doing much good anyhow.
