He is not as mindful in his words and actions as he should be. And, we're all intelligent here, we can all see it's a populist ploy to manipulate 'the masses' into thinking there's some sort of Democratic ploy to get rid of Trump, taking advantage of people with childhood trauma issues who believe Pizzagate and shite like that. I do agree the title of the thread overblows the tweet, but I definitely think outrage in this case is justified Oh no dont get me wrong. Back lash is totally justified. This is a disgusting tweet But i still dont believe in sensationalism and twisting words just cuz it fits a narrative. We have enough polarization in politics as it is Disgusting tweet absolutely and deserves criticism. But saying hes calling for their assassanation? That a HUGE stretch lets be honest. Just cuz we hate Elon doesnt mean we should make things up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I wasnt gonna say anything but since i was tagged, i do find the title slightly misleading. He didnt exactly call for her assassanation... To me that sounds more like right wing frustration that Trump got death threats (probably from the left in his mind) but none of the conservatives tried to kill Kamala or Biden Like to me it sounds more like an assertion of something to make a point (regardless of how wrong it may be) than it does him actually calling for an assassination In fact to me it seems rather obvious but jumping to conclusions is more fun cuz its more dramatic and it gives ppl an oppurtunity to hate on elon This is why i hate how polarized politics has become. No one tries to actually be objective. This is exactly why I tagged you and your last sentence is exactly what's wrong with people nowadays.

That a HUGE stretch lets be honest. Just cuz we hate Elon doesnt mean we should make things up Disagree. I don't see it as a huge stretch. Musk cannot openly call for assassination attempts on Biden or Harris, but he can make that call in a coded way, and that is ARGUABLY what he has done here. So ... I would say that it is a stretch to say that he called for assassination attempts, but not a huge stretch. There IS a huge stretch in play here imo, and that is Musk's decision that it was acceptable to tweet what he did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U have to choose to make that interpretation as there is no way to know that sending that code is really what he was trying to say cuz this could also mean other stuff... yet its placed in the title in as a factual sentence.
