A TikToker who admitted to not filing taxes for eight years is under federal investigation after making serious threats against Elon Musk.
A TikTok user has recently found herself in serious trouble after making alarming comments about Elon Musk.
Sarah C. Roberts, who claimed she hadn’t filed her taxes in eight years, posted a video that led to a federal investigation.
This incident has raised eyebrows and sparked a discussion about the consequences of online behavior.
The TikToker posted a threatening video online.
In her now-removed TikTok video, Sarah Roberts made what appeared to be a threat against Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.
“I promised myself I would avoid the news, but obviously, I haven’t.
She made a slashing motion across her throat while speaking about Musk.
Many interpreted her suggestion that he should be “X-ed” as a reference to assassination.
Her comments were shocking and drew immediate attention.
Roberts went on to boast about her tax situation, saying, “I haven’t filed my taxes in, like, eight years. And yet, no one’s come for me.”
“Here’s my one thought, I have many thoughts, Elon Musk.”
“We need to X him. And by X, I mean formally known as assassination.”
Speaking about the FBI, Roberts said the department would ‘never’ catch her, concluding: “Arrest me. You don’t have enough people to even investigate me at this point. I haven’t filed my taxes in, like, eight years. And yet, no one’s come for me.
“So I’m going to f**kng say it. Let’s assassinate some motherf**kers.”
Elon Musk responded to the threats of the TikToker
Elon Musk himself responded to Roberts’ video on social media.
He described her remarks as a “death threat” and an admission of tax fraud.
“Death threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud.”
Musk tagged Acting United States Attorney Ed Martin, bringing the situation to the attention of law enforcement.
“Duly noted. Thx for letting us know. We’ll put you in the system. Talk soon, M’am. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw.”
