Elon Musk has long inserted himself in the culture wars that have divided political discourse similarly to the current makeup of Congress, and employing his massive X platform as a vehicle for said messaging. The wealthy businessman posted and later deleted an X reply pondering why assassination attempts against President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris have not occurred in the wake of the latest attempt on former president Donald Trumpâs life.
Elon Musk asked the question in a quoted reply on X via the pro-Trump @cb_doge account, which asked on Sunday (September), âWhy they want to kill Donald Trump?â
In the quoted reply, Musk wrote, âAnd no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala [chin scratching emoji].â
The X reply from @cb_doge had well over a million views and several quoted replies from both supporters of Muskâs missive and detractors who felt the words were an incitement or invitation to would-be assassins. This has prompted users on X to get the #DeportElonMusk topic to trend with many replies pointing out what they feel is a divisive political stance.
Elon Musk has made no secret of his alignment with Trump after reinstating the business mogulâs once-suspended account and sharing glowing words about the presidential hopeful on his platform and beyond. Further, Musk is a strong proponent of free speech and uses his platform to freely express his views despite how unpopular they may seem to some.
A quick scan of Muskâs account shows him largely quote-replying to other accounts, especially those with favorable things to say about him or his many business endeavors. There are no signs of an apology regarding his quip about President Biden and Vice President Harris. In fact, Musk is framing the deleted tweet as an attempt at humor.
âWell, one lesson Iâve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesnât mean itâs going to be all that hilarious as a post on đ,â reads one X reply. He followed it with, âTurns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people donât know the context and the delivery is plain text.â
On X, the #DeportElonMusk has several replies calling for the deportation of Elon Musk. Weâve got those reactions below.

ManĂĄ has pulled its Nicky Jam collaboration from music streaming platforms following the reggaetĂłn starâs endorsement of Donald Trump.
On Sunday (Sept. 15), the legendary Mexican rock band posted a statement on social media explaining why the group decided to remove its 2016 reimagining of âDe Pies a Cabezaâ from streaming services after Nickyâs public endorsement of Trump over the weekend.
âManĂĄ doesnât work with racists,â the Fher Olvera-fronted band wrote in Spanish on Instagram, drawing mixed reactions in the comments section.
âFor the past 30 years, ManĂĄ has supported and defended the rights of Latinos around the world. There is no business or promotion that is worth more than the dignity of our people. That is why today ManĂĄ decided to remove its collaboration with Nicky Jam on âPies a Cabezaâ from all digital platforms.â
Trending on Billboard
ManĂĄ and Jamâs reggae-tinged version of the bandâs 1992 classic song âDe Pies a Cabezaâ premiered in 2016, reaching No. 1 on Billboardâs Latin Airplay chart. At the time of its release, Nicky called ManĂĄ one of his idols and said, âI never thought Iâd work with them so this is a blessing.â
ManĂĄâs decision to pull âDe Pies a Cabezaâ from streamers comes after Trumpâs Las Vegas campaign rally on Friday (Sept. 13), during which Nicky took the stage to support the former president as he faces off against Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
âItâs an honor to meet you, Mr. President. People that come from where I come from, they donât meet the president. So Iâm lucky,â said the 43-year-old reggaetĂłn vet, who relocated from Massachusetts to Puerto Rico at a young age. âWe need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president.â
In whatâs become an embarrassing viral moment, Trump mistakenly referred to Nicky as a âsheâ when introducing him to the Vegas crowd for his endorsement speech.
âDo you know Nicky? Sheâs hot. Whereâs Nicky?â Trump said while looking off to the side for the âXâ singer. A few moments later, the ex-POTUS spotted the Latin star and realized his mistake. âOh, look, Iâm glad he came up,â Trump said as he patted Nickyâs shoulder.
ManĂĄ has been a strong supporter of Democratic causes over the years, particularly related to immigration reform and other Latino related issues. âThe way Trump expresses himself about Mexicans and the Latin community is incredible,â Olvera tweeted in Spanish following a 2016 presidential debate. âLike a lot of people have perceived it, he is a racist.â The Mexican band also celebrated President Joe Bidenâs 2020 win, writing on Twitter (now X), âValues won over provision. Thereâs unity in diversity.â
Nicky Jam is one of many music stars who have endorsed the 78-year-old businessman-turned-politician in his 2024 re-election bid. In late August, Puerto Rican reggaetón stars Anuel AA and Justin Quiles took the stage to support Trump at a rally in Johnstown, Penn. Other artists who support the former president include Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Kodak Black, Lil Pump, Sexyy Red and Billy Ray Cyrus.

Taylor Swiftâs endorsement of Kamala Harris is clearly rattling Donald Trump.
The former president lashed out at the pop superstar on his Truth Social account Sunday (Sept. 15) following her recent endorsement of the vice president in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. âI HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!â Trump wrote in all caps.
The 78-year-old businessman-turned-politicianâs post follows Swiftâs message in support of the Harris-Walz campaign follow last weekâs first televised debate between Trump and Harris on ABC News. The âAnti-Heroâ singerâs lengthy note to her 238 million Instagram followers didnât directly attack the ex-POTUS but focused rather on encouraging her fans to research the issues and register to vote.
âI will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,â Swift wrote alongside a photo with her cat Benjamin Button. âIâm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.â
Trending on Billboard
The pop starâs endorsement of Harris-Walz also called out Trump posting fake AI images that had falsely suggested she supported the MAGA leader.
âIt really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,â she said about the doctored images Trump put up on his Truth Social feed. âIt brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.â
Swift signed her Instagram post as âChildless Cat Lady,â a zinger aimed at Trumpâs VP candidate JD Vance, who once used that description to demean Democratic leaders without children.
Following Trumpâs disdainful Truth Social post on Sunday, Swifties came out of the woodwork on social media to show support for the superstar, including one of her biggest fans, Flavor Flav (aka âKing Swiftieâ). âI LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT,!!â the Public Enemy story wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Other Swifties took the opportunity to share memes and GIFs teasing the Republican presidential nominee about his post, including a clip of Swift raising a wine glass on The Graham Norton Show in 2022. âTaylor Swift seeing Trumpâs post like âmy work here is done,’â the postâs caption on X reads. Another fan shared a scene from the Mean Girls remake, writing, âTrump posting âI hate Taylor swiftâ after his internal polling numbers dropped.â
Indeed, Swiftâs endorsement post of the Democratic candidates brought around 400,000 people to the Vote.gov registration website in the following days. The singer could also continue efforts to get out the vote to hundreds of thousands of fans during her upcoming U.S. leg of The Eras Tour, which launches again on Oct.18 with three back-to-back shows at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. From there sheâll visit New Orleansâ Caesars Superdome (Oct. 25-27) and Indianapolisâ Lucas Oil Stadium (Nov. 1-3). Swiftâs worldwide Eras Tour in on track to becoming the highest-grossing global tour in history, with approximately 10 million tickets sold.
Donald Trump isnât holding back his feelings about Taylor Swift.
On Sunday (Sept. 15), the former president lashed out against the pop superstar on social media, just days after she officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
âI HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!â Trump wrote in all caps on Truth Social.
Following last weekâs first presidential debate between Trump and Harris on ABC News, Swift shared her endorsement for the VP with her 238 million Instagram followers (her account had reached 284 million as of Sept. 15).
âI will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,â Swift wrote alongside a photo with her cat Benjamin Button. âIâm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.â
Trending on Billboard
The âAnti-Heroâ singer also expressed her admiration for Harris, calling the VP a âsteady-handed, gifted leaderâ and a âwarriorâ for causes she holds dear, such as LGBTQ+ rights and womenâs reproductive freedoms.
Swiftâs endorsement of the Democratic candidates also called out Trump posting fake AI images that had falsely suggested she supported the MAGA leader.
âIt really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,â Swift said about the doctored images Trump put up on his Truth Social feed. âIt brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.â

Swiftâs endorsement brought around 400,000 people to the Vote.gov registration website in the following days.
This isnât the first time the singer-songwriter has spoken up for Democratic candidates. In 2018, she famously broke her silence around politics to endorse Phil Bredesen in his race against Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, saying Blackburnâs voting record âappals and terrifies me.â Swift also endorsed President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Donald Trump is heavy on the campaign trail after some observers believed his showing in the first presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris was less stellar than expected. However, a new issue is cropping up in the form of far-Right media figure Laura Loomer, a constant fixture by the former presidentâs side, so much so that some on Xitter believe the two are having a fling.
Donald Trump, 78, and Laura Loomer, 31, have been seen in several recent photos with one another, with Loomer shown exiting the former mogulâs airplane on a recent campaign stop. Some within the Republican Party, including those who have loudly supported Trump in the past, want him to distance himself from the controversial Loomer for various reasons.
Loomer and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene clashed online after Loomer made an offensive joke about Vice President Harris connected to her Indian and Jamaican heritage. Rep. Greene called out the social media attack, prompting Loomer to unload a barrage of insults in response.
Greene isnât the only Trump stooge to call for him to reconsider aligning himself with Loomer. Sen. Lindsey Graham and Republican Party North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis have both had things to say about Loomerâs stances. This has only inflamed Loomer to fire back with insults at anyone she deems to be unloyal to Trump.
While he claims he has no control of Loomerâs words, Trump referred to her as a âfree spiritâ and says heâs unable to control her outbursts but there is a lingering thought on social media he doesnât want to.
The aforementioned images of the pair have raised eyebrows and called into question if Trump, who has cheated on former First Lady Melania Trump before, is doing so again with Loomer. For the record, Loomer has denied all claims connected to the rumor.
On X, formerly Twitter, Donald Trump and Laura Loomer are at the center of discussion regarding their curious connection. Weâve got those replies below.

Nicky Jam is officially endorsing Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
On Friday (Sept. 13), the former president held a campaign rally at the World Market Center in downtown Las Vegas, where the 43-year-old reggaetĂłn veteran took the stage to show his support for Trump as he faces off against Vice President Kamala Harris in the November election.
In an embarrassing faux pas, however, the ex-POTUS mistakenly referred to Nicky as a âsheâ when introducing him to the crowd for his endorsement speech.
âDo you know Nicky? Sheâs hot. Whereâs Nicky?â Trump said from the stage while looking off to the side for the âXâ singer. A few moments later, the former president spotted the Latin star and quickly realized his mistake. âOh, look, Iâm glad he came up,â Trump said as he patted the musicianâs shoulder.
Nicky, wearing a black sweatshirt and the Trump campaignâs signature red âMake America Great Againâ baseball cap, then took the stage to deliver a brief statement.
Trending on Billboard
âItâs an honor to meet you, Mr. President. People that come from where I come from, they donât meet the president. So Iâm lucky,â said Nicky, who moved from Massachusetts to Puerto Rico at a young age. âWe need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president.â

Other artists who support the former president include Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Kodak Black, Lil Pump, Sexyy Red and Billy Ray Cyrus.
Nicky, who announced last October that heâll be âretiring soon,â recently opened up about the decision in an interview with Billboard.
âIâm not going to be a singer for the rest of my life,â he said over Zoom from his Miami home. âI think Iâll probably retire soon⌠Well, not retire. Singers never retire. You just tone it down.â
Nicky dropped his sixth studio album, Insomnio, on Sept. 6.

Donald Trump debated Vice President Kamala Harris last night (September 10) on ABC News, and is now speaking up regarding his showing and outside critique of the debate. In an appearance on a Fox News morning show, Donald Trump blasted two anchors from the network, stating he would not want them modering a potential second debate.
Donald Trump phoned into the Fox & Friends morning show on Wednesday (September 11), accusing moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis of heavily fact-checking his statements and not doing the same for his opponent.
Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy asked the former president if he would consider holding another debate after Fox News offered the opportunity for an undetermined October date. Trump used this moment to attack Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, based on their criticism of his debate showing against Vice President Harris.
âWell, I wouldnât want to have Martha and Bret,â Trump said. âIâd love to have somebody else other than Martha and Bret. Iâd love to have, frankly, Sean [Hannity] or Jesse [Watters] or Laura [Ingraham]. You know, somebody else. Letâs give letâs give other people a shot.â
Trump continued, âBut I didnât think Martha and Bret were so good last night. Yes, he was. Jesse was fantastic last night. What he said, Jesse. Really got it. Jesse said to Trump once that debate that was we won that debate by a lot. And I wouldnât want Martha involved.â
When asked if he would accept the October debate offer from Fox News, Trump appeared to sidestep the offer and claimed victory on the debate stage over Harris.
âWell, Iâd be less inclined to because we had a great night. We won the debate. We had a terrible, terrible network. I think they were terrible. They should be embarrassed,â Trump said of ABC News. âI mean, they kept correcting me and I said what I said was largely right or I hope it was right. But what they said was absolutely wrong.â
Vice President Harris has said she welcomes a second debate with Donald Trump.
Live on Fox, Trump insults the two Fox anchors who have been pitched as debate moderators â Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum â and says âI wouldnât want to haveâ them. He says he would want Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham to host instead. (An obvious non-starter.) pic.twitter.com/uXVJtnYn8L

Following Taylor Swiftâs swift endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, Brittany Mahomes caught all of the strays.
Taylor Swift is letting the world and her millions of followers know that she wants to be on the right side of history and do her part to help get Kamala Harris to become the 48th President of the United States.
Swift made her very loud announcement after VP Harris was finished clowning the orange menace on the debate stage, writing in her post on Instagram:
I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. Iâm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a womanâs right to her own body for decades.
Swiftâs endorsement of the Harris/Walz ticket comes after she faced âbacklashâ for fraternizing with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who outed herself as a Trump supporter.
Social Media Is Roasting Brittany Mahomes
Following Swiftâs endorsement, Mahomes immediately became the subject of conversations on X, formerly Twitter, with users clowning her.
It also doesnât help that Donald Trump expressed his admiration for Mahomes, telling Fox & Friends Wednesday morning, âI actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better if you want to know the truth,â Trump said. âSheâs a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan,â when asked about Swift endorsing VP Harris.

Donald Trump went full racist old man in his debate with VP Kamala Harris last night (September 10). One particular moment that will live in infamy is when he tapped into a debunked lie that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
Seriously.
It started when Harris successfully baited Cheeto by clowning the dwindling crowd sizes of his rallies. While noting his use of movie characters (âYou will see during the course of Trumpâs rallies, he talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter. He will talk about how windmills cause cancer,â she said), she then lit him up with, âWhat you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early,â and thatâs when his brain went on the fritz, allegedly.
To this (as the moderators tried to move on), Trump responded that no one attends her rallies (which is a lie) and then when he finally proceeded to âanswerâ the question that was posed about immigration, things gotâŚweird. The former president invoked an already debunked, egregiously racist hoax that Haitian immigrants are eating pet dogs in Springfield, which was amplified by JD Vance.
âIn Springfield, theyâre eating the dogs!â yelled Trump. âThe people that come in, theyâre eating the cats. Theyâre eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is whatâs happening in our country, and itâs a shame.â
The moderators let him finish, and then fact-checked himâand it inadvertently was hilarious. Co-moderator David Muir said ABC News contacted the city manager of Springfield, who said there were âno credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.â To this, Trump interjected that he âseen people on television.â
Oh well, if he saw it on TVâŚâthat was sarcasm. Muir then closed the deal saying, âIâm not taking this from television, Iâm taking it from the city manager.â
Is this your Orange King? Check out reactions to Trumpâs wild accusations of pet homicide in the gallery.
âAnd then he said, âTheyâre eating the dogs! Theyâre eating the pets!’â pic.twitter.com/hwgDSejs1c

âIâm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader, and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,â Swift wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of her and her cat, Benjamin Button.
In a jab to OP vice-presidential candidate JD Vance, the âCruel Summerâ singer signed off with, âWith love and hope, Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady.â
Trending on Billboard
The post exploded, racking up 1 million âlikesâ in just 13 minutes, with Swiftâs celebrity friends and fans jumping in to show support.
Among the first to engage was Charli XCX, a known Harris supporter, who famously tweeted earlier this year, âKamala IS brat,â sparking one of Harrisâ viral campaign moments. Speaking of the moment, the Brit previously said sheâs âhappy to help to prevent democracy from failing forever.â
Other notable figures quickly followed suit. Selena Gomez liked the post on Instagram, as did Jennifer Aniston, Lady Gaga, Andy Cohen, Mandy Moore, Jack Antonoff, DJ Zedd and Australian singer Gretta Ray.
Bette Midler, however, kept it simple, tweeting, â#TAYLORSWIFT endorses #KamalaHarris4President!!â
In what was among the more unsettling reactions, Elon Musk jumped into the conversation with a bizarre tweet: âFine Taylor⌠you win⌠I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.â
Fine Taylor ⌠you win ⌠I will give you a child and guard your cats with my lifeâ Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 11, 2024
Meanwhile, MSNBCâs Lawrence OâDonnell offered high praise for Swiftâs move, calling it âthe most important celebrity endorsement Iâve ever seen,â adding, âFor someone whoâs never been impressed by celebrity endorsements, this is perfect and powerful.â
While the multi-award-winning artistâs post has generated widespread support, not all reactions were enthusiastic. When asked about the endorsement, former President Donald Trump simply responded, âI have no idea.â
