Elon Musk drew fierce backlash on his own X (formerly Twitter) platform for what was slammed as an “appalling and indefensible” response to an apparent second attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump, the current GOP presidential nominee.

Per the FBI, Trump was the subject of “what appears to be an attempted assassination” at his golf club in Florida on Sunday, some nine weeks after he was injured when shots were fired during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Musk posted: “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala.”

The billionaire, who has 197 million followers, added a thinking-face emoji.

14. Can we say 'confiscatory wealth tax?' Billionaires are parasites, and every billionaire represents

a MASSIVE failure in tax policy. No one should ever be able to accumulate over $500 million. That's it. If they get that much, give them a congratulatory plaque for 'beating capitalism' and then take anything in excess of that and put it in the public treasury to pay for stuff like:

MEDICARE FOR ALL AMERICANS

CHILDCARE

AFFORDABLE, DEBT-FREE COLLEGE

Why do we always have enough money for tax cuts for these parasites, but not enough money to fund things the American people need???
