A TikTok video calling for the assassination of Elon Musk and Donald Trump has gone viral. The video has sparked widespread concern and condemnation.
Disturbing Video Surfaces
In the video, the TikToker says,
“All the Elon (Musk) (Donald) Trump stuff is getting to a point.”
He adds,
“Somebody preferably has to do it. Preferably someone who has done it.”
The tone escalates as he continues,
“Somebody has to throw their life away. Somebody has to get in there and kill Elon. You know who you are. Just buck up and do your duty.”
The video was shared on X by the account “Libs of TikTok” with the caption, “TikToker calls for Elon and Trump to be assassinated.”
Elon Musk’s Response
Elon Musk responded to the video. He replied,
“Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.”
Public Reaction
The video has alarmed many viewers. People are calling for action to prevent potential harm.
One user commented,
“Why do these people continue to get away with death threats?”
Another wrote,
“This guy needs to be arrested by the authorities and sentenced to jail asap.”
A third user pointed out,
“Why is that somebody not himself? How convenient.”
Some praised Musk and Trump for their resilience. A user said,
“It does require actual courage to continue work with all the threats and, in Trump’s case, actual attempts to kill him. This is what distinguishes heroes from the rest of us. Thank you, Elon Musk! We pray for your safety. And Trump’s.”
Previous Threats Against Musk
This isn’t the first time Musk has faced threats. Months ago, a user named Bill Shea posted a screenshot comparing Musk to George Soros. Shea wrote,
“He’s a CEO. Do with that information as you will.”
The post gained attention before Shea’s account was deactivated. This happened around the same time as the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly by 26-year-old Luigi Mangione.
Trump Assassination Attempt
The threat follows an assassination attempt on Donald Trump last year. On July 13, 2024, Trump was shot in the ear while speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania.
The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, used an AR-15-style rifle and fired eight shots. One person in the crowd died. Two others were seriously injured.
The Secret Service acted quickly. They shot and killed Crooks. Trump was rushed to a hospital, treated, and later released.
Calls for Action
The video has raised concerns about online threats and their real-world consequences. Many are urging authorities to take immediate action to address such dangerous rhetoric.
