I Am Truly Disturbed Out Of My Mind After Watching Elon Musk And Tucker Carlson Laugh At The Idea Of Someone Assassinating Kamala Harris
Recently, Elon Musk sat down with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson for a full-length interview about his potential role in the Trump administration, Jeffrey Epstein and P. Diddy's clientele, vaccines, crime, and more.
Setting the tone within the first minute of the nearly two-hour talk, Elon called back to a tweet he posted last month following an apparent second assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. At the time, he posted: “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala.”
The tweet was quickly deleted following backlash and accusations of encouraging violence, to which Elon said, "Well one lesson I've learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn't mean it's going to be all that hilarious as a post on X."

When speaking to Carlson, Elon recalled the situation with a round of laughter, saying, "I made a joke, which I realized — I deleted — which is like, no one is even bothering to try to kill Kamala because it's pointless."
The two start laughing and Elon exclaims, "What do you achieve? Nothing. Just find another puppet."

"Exactly," Carlson agreed in between giggles. "It's deep and true." Then, continuing on, Carlson asked Elon if he "actually put that up" in reference to the tweet.

“Yeah," Elon confirmed amidst another round of laughter. "People interpreted it as though I was calling for people to assassinate her, but I was like…doesn’t it seem strange that no one has even bothered to try?”
"That's hilarious," Carlson reponded.
Following the release of the clip online, disturbing tweets from conservatives began cropping up online, like one person who appreciatively said, "Elon Musk is the democrats worst nightmare."
However, most met the video with the same feelings Elon's original tweet mustered.

...as well as "dystopian."
This could be a cold open to a dystopian science fiction movie — about the end of human civilization.

They expressed discomfort over a federal contractor, aka Elon, having a laugh over the idea of someone attempting to assassinate the vice president of the United States.
Nothing to see here. Just a man with classified federal contracts worth billions fantasizing about the assassination of the President and Vice President. https://t.co/iQ3LarUxPD

And even suggested these contracts should be taken away.
Any company CEO that talks this way should never be awarded a government contract.

There was irony found in how Republicans recently suggested Democrats needed to "dial back" charged rhetoric following the assassination attempt on Trump — yet these two are having a laugh when it comes to Harris.
I thought we were so supposed to be mindful about violent rhetoric? Or does that only apply to one side?

In conclusion, most comments seen on Twitter related in some way to this: "The owner of this platform is a deeply unwell person."
