Twitter CEO Elon Musk may soon be getting a visit from the U.S. Secret Service after sharing a violent video on his social media platform Saturday that shows an animated Donald Trump killing President Joe Biden in a scene from the 1999 film “The Matrix.”
In the video, Trump is cast as Neo, dodging bullets shot at him by Biden. Near the end of the video, Trump jumps into Biden’s body and causes him to explode.
The violent video has been viewed over 112 million times and shared by other Twitter users 466,000 times.
But as many on social media noted, Musk seems to have threatened a sitting president, which is not only dangerous, but also a federal crime at a time when the country is already on edge after Trump was shot and wounded last Saturday by a lone gunman.
Why are you showing videos of donald trump murdering Joe Biden?@SecretService

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg exposed Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance as a fraud and huckster Friday evening during an appearance on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” and a video of his comments is going viral online.
Discussing why Silicon Valley high-tech executives are so eager to see Vance become VP, Buttigieg noted, “These are very rich men who have decided to back the Republican Party, that tends to do good things for very rich men. That’s kind of what you’re getting with J.D. [Vance], right?
Buttigieg then referenced past comments Vance made about failed former president Donald Trump in which he called the convicted felon an “opioid.”
“For somebody whose identity is that they’re connected to Appalachia, which has an opioid crisis, that really is the darkest thing you could possibly say about Donald Trump, at least in public. Behind the scenes, he was actually calling him ‘Hitler,’ right? Seriously!”
Much like former vice president Mike Pence, Buttigieg added, Vance is willing to compromise his values to achieve power.
“I watched [Pence] start out as an evangelical Christian who cared about rectitude and family values, and then get on board with a guy who was mixed up with a porn star, and make excuses for him. He got four glorious years, I guess, as vice president of the United States. And it ended on the West front of the U.S. Capitol with Trump supporters proposing that he be hanged for using the one shred of integrity he still had to stand up to an attempt to overthrow the government.”
“So I guess, maybe not as a politician but as a human being, what I’ll say is that I hope things work out a little bit better for J.D. Vance than they did for Pence,” he added.
There was a time when Republicans had brains and spines. But those days are long gone.
Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of convicted felon Donald Trump, is getting pilloried on social media for comments he made about his daughter, Kai, before she spoke at the Republican National Convention this week.
According to Newsweek, Don Jr. posted a video of himself and Kai preparing for their convention appearance.
In a video posted to his official TikTok account Thursday, Trump Jr., the former president’s eldest son, can be seen in a chair next to his 17-year-old daughter Kai while a cosmetic artist dabs his face with a makeup pad.
“Kai, what do you think? Getting makeup, make me look sexy like you?” he said to the camera.
“I think you look very beautiful,” his daughter replied.
He then added, “I don’t do this often, but in HD you better do it,” appearing to refer to his public appearance at the RNC, which was filmed.
Donald Trump Jr. to his daughter, Kai: "Getting makeup. Make me look sexy, like you."
Junior’s father has made similar comments about his daughter, Ivanka Trump, suggesting that he found her to be sexier than his wife when she was only 13 years old.
Twitter users expressed disgust for Don Jr’s remarks, suggesting that such a comment isn’t appropriate, even as a joke.
So creepy, normal people do not think that way. Perhaps a lame dad joke like, hey maybe I can look pretty like you, and even that would be a bit strange. But sexy? Thats some top level creep stuff there.
Maybe when Kai has children in a few years, Don Jr. can make inappropriate sexual comments about them, too. After all, it’s all the rage in the Trump family.
After he had finished his incredibly tedious 92-minute acceptance speech at the 2024 Republican convention on Thursday evening, disgraced former president Donald Trump was joined onstage by his third wife, Melania.
But as Newsweek notes, what caught most people’s attention is the fact that the convicted felon leaned in to kiss his wife and was rebuked as she dodged away from him.
Immediately after the speech, he leant in for a kiss on the lips with his wife, which she appeared to “dodge,” former White House bureau chief Steve Herman wrote on social media platform Mastodon.
The moment was also shared to X, formerly Twitter, by journalist Aaron Rupar, who also accused the former first lady of “dodging Trump’s kiss.” The post has been viewed over 216,000 times.
In the clip, Melania Trump was seen turning her cheek to her husband on stage as he tried to kiss her before the couple walked off stage together, hand in hand.
Though he and his staffers had touted it all week as a message of “unity,” convicted felon Donald Trump used his acceptance speech Thursday evening to the Republican National Convention to traffic in conspiracy theories, lies, and bizarre references to pop culture figures such as Hannibal Lecter while also claiming he had the imprimatur and protection of God himself.
And that was just the first 30 minutes!
The speech lasted for 92 (!) minutes, by which time most of the delegates in the convention hall were yawning, rubbing their eyes, and silently praying for the tirade to end.
Thrilling, huh? When even your most ardent supporters can’t manage to keep their eyes open, it’s clear you’re a tiresome bore who desperately needs to learn the meaning of the word “editing.”
Trump’s seemingly endless speech led to lots of commentary on social media, where many noted that Donald had the perfect opportunity to prove he had changed since being shot last weekend in Pennsylvania, but only managed to reinforce his image as a long-winded bully who wants to destroy the American republic for his own aggrandizement.
Legitimately, this is the first Trump speech I’ve seen that is so boring. Trump is 78 years old and showing every bit of it tonight. 😴 https://t.co/XYdjUNFqZt
