Acting United States Attorney Ed Martin of the District of Columbia replied to a post Monday showing a video of a woman calling for the assassination of Tesla CEO and White House Senior Advisor Elon Musk.
Martin previously opened probes into Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California over allegedly threatening comments they made about Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and U.S. Supreme Court justices, CBS News reported. The TikTok user admitted to not filing her taxes for eight years before she called for Muskās murder in a video reposted to X by LibsofTikTok.
āI promised myself I would avoid the news,ā the woman, who goes by the username āsarahcrobertsā on the since-deleted account, said. āBut obviously, I havenāt. Hereās my one thought ā I have many thoughts ā Elon Musk,ā before making a gesture that appeared to mimic cutting a throat.
āLike when you do X him, and by X, I mean formally mean assassination and itās a warning from the FBI is going to fucking show up, I donāt⦠arrest me,ā the user said. āYou donāt have enough people to even investigate me at this point. I havenāt filed my taxes in like⦠eight years and yet no oneās come for me, so Iām going to fucking say it. Letās assassinate some motherfuckers.ā
After the post was flagged by the LibsofTikTok account on X, Martin responded in a post from his official X account.
āDuly noted. Thx for letting us know,ā Martin posted. āWeāll put you in the system. Talk soon, Māam. #NoOneIsAboveTheLawā
Musk also weighed in on the post on the social media site he purchased in 2022.
āDeath threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud @EagleEdMartin,ā Musk posted.
Martin previously promised to investigate threats to DOGE employees in a Feb. 7 letter to Musk and Steve Davis and added that some efforts to target DOGE employees may have violated the law in a Feb. 3 statement posted by the United States Attorneyās Office for the District of Columbia.
According to the DOGE website, at least $55 billion in savings have been identified since President Donald Trump established DOGE in a Jan. 20 executive order.
The United States Attorneyās Office for the District of Columbia did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
