Elon Musk Assassination Threat Made After UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting [Video]

An apparent threat was made against billionaire Elon Musk as authorities continue searching for the killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Thompson was shot dead at around 6:45 a.m. on December 4 as he arrived at the New York Hilton Midtown for his company’s annual investor conference.

Surveillance footage showed Thompson walking alone on a sidewalk as the masked shooter ambushed him, shooting him several times. The assailant remained at large on Monday and police had not determined who he is, where he is or why he killed Thompson.

Over the weekend, a user on Bluesky, a platform touted as an alternative to Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, posted an image that appeared to encourage an attack on Musk.

Posted by a user with the handle @smilingnodding.bsky.social alongside a caption that said “#manifesting,” the image showed Musk standing on a sidewalk while a gun is pointed in his direction by a person who cannot be seen.
