Charlie Kirk was killed while attending a campus event in Utah. A manhunt is underway to catch his suspected shooter. <\/p>\n

Charlie Kirk, a well-known conservative activist and a close ally of US President Donald Trump, was shot and killed during a college event in Utah. Following this, social media got flooded with posts about the founder of the youth activist group Turning Point USA, including some which seemingly celebrated his death. An X user shared a screenshot of one such social media post, alleging that a Tesla<\/a> employee shared it. Elon Musk reacted to the tweet to set the record straight.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeth Ayers who works as a data analyst at @Tesla compares Charlie to Hitler and tells him to \u2018Rest in piss\u2019,\u201d the X user wrote while sharing a screenshot of the post. The following screenshot shows the profile of the person who posted it.<\/p>\n

How did Elon Musk react?<\/p>\n

Elon Musk<\/a> denied the claims that the person who shared the Facebook post was employed at his company. \u201cThis person is not currently employed by Tesla.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elon Musk\u2019s response, which was appreciated by many, has gone viral. An individual wrote, \u201cPlease make sure this post is factored into future job references.\u201d Another added, \u201cGood. We don\u2019t need people like that employed at Tesla.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third expressed, \u201cOMG I didn’t expect a response, but I am so thankful you looked into and did respond. Thank you!\u201d A fourth commented, \u201cI know this is obvious\u2026 People are really stupid. Why do they think celebrating murder is acceptable, or worse, justified? I know they will reread their tweets and be ashamed of themselves in a few months.\u201d<\/p>\n

What happened at the Utah campus?<\/p>\n

Charlie Kirk was attending an event at UVU, the first venue of his 15 scheduled events at universities nationwide. Police and his personal security team were present at the event.<\/p>\n

When Kirk was shot, he was having a debate with a student about mass shootings and transgender people. Suddenly, he clutched his neck with blood gushing out and fell from his chair. Though he was rushed out of the venue for medical treatment, the 31-year-old died shortly after.<\/p>\n

The suspected shooter remains at large, but the FBI has released images of a \u201cperson of interest\u201d and also offered a $100,000 reward for information.<\/p>\n
