Elon Musk took issue with a recent article by the Verge on Monday that referred to the trillionaire oligarch as a “killer.” The article explains that Musk took a chainsaw to the federal government and slashed foreign aid spending, cuts that have contributed to the deaths of hundreds of thousands. But Musk rejects the idea that he’s a killer.

“If I were [a killer], the douchebags at Verge would have been dead long ago,” Musk wrote on X, along with one of those crying-laughing emojis he uses all the time.
