Elon Musk has weighed in on the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, accusing the left of fostering and celebrating violence. Speaking publicly about the case, Musk condemned those who he claimed responded with approval to Kirk’s murder.

“And then you see how much violence there is on the left,” Musk said. “With our friend Charlie Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week. And people on the left celebrating it openly. The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. I mean, let that sink in for a minute. That’s who we’re dealing with here.”



Musk’s comments underscore the sharp political divide over the killing of Kirk, who was shot during a campus event in Utah earlier this week. The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was taken into custody after confessing to the shooting, according to law enforcement officials.

Kirk’s death has sparked a wave of reaction across the political spectrum. Allies and conservative figures, including President Donald Trump and Turning Point USA colleagues, have mourned his loss and vowed to carry on his mission. Kirk’s wife, Erika, has also delivered an emotional public tribute, promising to continue his work and strengthen Turning Point USA into what she described as “the biggest movement in America.”

Musk, who has increasingly aligned himself with right-leaning causes in recent years, framed Kirk’s killing as part of a broader cultural and political battle. “That is who we’re dealing with here,” he said, reiterating that the left, in his view, condones violence against opponents.
