Who was Charlie Kirk

As mentioned above, Charlie Kirk was a far-right political activist and an aide to Donald Trump. He co-founded the organization Turning Point USA, a nonprofit organization he started in 2012 when he was just 18 years old. TPUSA focuses on promoting conservative values on high school and college campuses, often emphasizing free markets, limited government, and individual freedom.He was shot dead at a college event in Utah. Musk then expressed shock and grief over Charlie Kirk’s death in a series of posts on X.

“The shot looked real bad, but I sure hope Charlie makes it somehow,” the tech billionaire wrote as the news broke out. When a couple of X users pointed out that posts on Bluesky are “celebrating the assassination”, the Tesla CEO responded saying “shows what we’re dealing with. Evil people.”When a user wrote “Whether you agreed with him or not, Charlie Kirk is dead purely because some people didn't like what he had to say. That should outrage every single one of us”, Musk responded with an affirmative ‘yes’.“They are celebrating cold-blooded murder,” he wrote in another post.
