Conspiracy charge please, goes with election law violation, harassment, and I'm sure a bunch else.

Representatives for Elon Musk did not immediately respond to ABC News for comment.

Isn't his response always a poop emoji? Or did that change?

I assume his response to 'your followers are making antisemitic threats and doxxing people' will be a poop emoji regardless considering that's his usual sort of response to anything atrocious he's responsible for.

Elons character arc from a PR point of view is really interesting.

At one point I bet many of his current followers were loudly critical of him for Tesla disrupting the ICE vehicle industry. At that point he was seen as much more progressive.

But his mask has now been removed to show the opportunistic business man he is with very little moral standards. Becoming the enemy of many that had previously fallen for his PR, including me.

In my head he really seems like a comic book character.

I'm interested in having an EV for my next vehicle, but I really don't want a Tesla. I don't like that the main/good charging network is owned by this clown's company either. Even with other EVs being able to use it now, it still helps him.

I never want to hear the phrase stochastic terrorism again, it's a bit too "zeroth law of robotics" for my taste.

I'll admit the line between protected free speech and incitement to violence is indistinct, but if you think anybody has crossed it, let's call it what it is.

I think some of that guy's comments the other day probably did constitute that (the guy at the Trump rally talking about immigrants poisoning America's precious bodily fluids or whatever).

Oligarch! Exactly!
