Please can someone kill Musk?
For the greater good.
Any harm coming to the child or other human shield is on the shitbag using them in the first place.
I personally don't think it is acceptable for someone to encourage others to kill a child online. It's cowardly and rank. Go speak your wisdom to your own child or niece or nephew and think about whether you would sacrifice them so easily. You disgust me. The world you get as a result of actions like this is not worth having. You deserve everything you as an individual are getting, I have no doubt.
Yeah, kids don't get to choose their parents.
Musk would kill your children 🤷🏻♀️
Dont get me wrong, Musk is a piece of shit, but as far as I'm aware, he has not personally killed any children nor threatened to do so. He may have indirectly killed children, by gutting USAID as one example, but that puts him into a category full of many other people, including you who sought to indirectly harm a child like a coward behind a screen by encouraging a stranger to do it.
GTFO with this lame-ass posturing. You're just baiting now
None of the Secret Service are patriots. None.
Secret service are still just cops.
Musk doesn't have Secret Service protection. He doesn't technically have the title of President.
He does have a private security detail that's been deputized by the US Marshalls.

I'm always weary of "anonymous sources" reporting and palace intrigue.
Nevermind, this 100% happened.
See anonymous sources didn't used to be an issue. It was standard for actual journalists and respected publications to require multiple independent sources when they weren't able to quote and name those sources. They would verify the information before reporting it.
That changed for a few reasons. One was propaganda becoming the reason for some organizations to exist at all. One was competition with small startups that would skip those ethical guidelines to scoop stories first, or without any verification. And of course in the mad dash to be first online and get those precious advertising revenue clicks.
Anonymous sources weren't an issue because the actual journalist already did the due diligence to verify their reporting. That no longer can be trusted, so neither can those reports.
The POTUS' favorite opening line is 'many people say...'
Why wouldn't you directly post the article instead? https://www.aol.com/musk-doge-team-reportedly-tried-185321678.html
Huh, I didn't realize AOL still existed.
For now, America is still online 🤷
Goodbye! *door slam noise*
Lmao. Fair enough.
Does Musk have any other concept of this world besides firing people?
As F Scott Fitzgerald said in "The Great Gatsby"
"They were careless people...They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."
“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.” —Elon Musk
Yeah a sociopath would think that
He's working for the guy who was using "yourefired" as his Twitter password so...
Surprised he used the right 'you're'
He then changed it to "maga2020!"
Not even kidding
Didn't even try ''spring2024'' smh
Probably had someone else do it for him
Ironic for a guy obsessed with playing the victim when he loses.
Typical corporate “cut to profitability” attitude coupled with extreme stupidity when he doesn’t understand what he’s looking at, so he says “that looks stupid” and cuts it. Doesn’t want to take any time to understand because cuts are easy, learning why things might be necessary even if you don’t like them at face value requires effort and nuance. Something conservatives aren’t interested in.
You can get a sense of the true intelligence of a person if, when presented with something unfamiliar or that doesn't interest them, they dismiss it as "stupid and worthless".
Too cool for school.
See his own company when he canned the entire charging team..
FTFY. Dude is constantly in a K-hole
Should just fire and ground all planes until further notice, Tell the press and put notices at airport that planes are grounded due to Elon Musk DOGE measures.
Fire the ATCs just before Elon's plane is about to land

Sean Duffy deserves a medal for stopping Musk's reckless circus act mid-flight—literally lifesaving.
🐱
At least there are still some adults in the government.
a maga cult 'yes man' who could still see that planes are affected by gravity is not one of them.
and where the fuck are they gonna find 'genius' MIT grads to work at atc? during this shitshow?
Exactly. Any genius is going to be staying the hell away from US government work for the foreseeable future.
