No. NOT a joke. Detestable Trumpian cop-out “JK” is BS…& potentially deadly.
“Hours after what the FBI called a 2nd attempted assassination of #Trump, Elon #Musk wrote on his social media site — and then deleted — a post suggesting it was odd that nobody had tried to kill President #Biden or Vice President Kamala #Harris.
Musk said the post on X had been intended as a joke.”

2/ Via my old pal over at the hellsite,
Elizabeth de la Vega, former federal prosecutor:
In all seriousness, as a former federal prosecutor, I can tell you that a statement like Elon Musk's below DOES require an immediate visit by the U.S. Secret Service. That is the protocol in every similar situation.
That’s not even possible in every situation. The Secret Service would be chasing nuts down all day even with way more people than they have now.
People like Elon Musk and Kathy Griffin, who was very explicit, may get immediate visits (in Kathy’s case, I’m sure she did.) Musk they kind of have to treat with kid gloves because of his reach. Will they put a scare into him, step up surveillance? Of course they will.
With everyday Joes and Janes it’s about repetition and escalation.
Laffy
