Elon Musk Seeks Microsoft Action Against Employees Criticizing Charlie Kirk

Following the shooting death of Charlie Kirk, a far-right activist and aide to President Trump, Elon Musk has been actively responding to social media posts related to the incident. Musk pressed Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to investigate Blizzard employees who reportedly criticized Kirk, in line with wider Republican efforts to silence such expressions, while Microsoft stated it is reviewing the situation and condemned violence against anyone. Musk also clarified misinformation circulating on social media about a former Tesla employee allegedly celebrating Kirk's death, confirming that the person named was no longer with Tesla. The FBI is actively searching for the shooter, offering a $100,000 reward for information, amid national discussions about political violence and the role of social media in spreading harmful content. Musk has expressed shock and grief over Kirk’s death and condemned those celebrating the assassination. The investigation continues as authorities seek to identify and apprehend the suspect.
