Multibillionaire Elon Musk on Thursday reacted to an 1819 News report that the Montgomery-based Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) had targeted Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk as "hateful" and having an "authoritarian vision for the country that threatens the foundation of our democracy" by accusing the group of inciting his assassination.
In a post one day before Kirk was shot and killed, he was mentioned in the Montgomery-based organization's "Hatewatch" newsletter, which boasts, "The Southern Poverty Law Center works to dismantle white supremacy in public forums and online, exposes hate and anti-democracy extremism, and counters disinformation and conspiracy theories with research and community resources. The Intelligence Project monitors and exposes white supremacy and its impact on communities."
According to Musk, SPLC is "guilty of incitement to murder Charlie Kirk."
"SPLC is guilty of incitement to murder Charlie Kirk," the X owner wrote.
Musk later shared a post saying the organization had "blood on their hands."
On the day before Charlie Kirk was assassinated, the SPLC included him and Turning Point USA in their monthly 'Hatewatch' newsletter," the post, which Musk reposted on his X account, stated. "The SPLC has blood on their hands."
