The political scene in America is getting even more volatile, and yet again, it's Elon Musk who is facing the most backlash.
The Tesla and Space X CEO has caused a stir since he rose to the lofty position of heading up the Department of Government Efficiency for the Trump administration.
Donald Trump has told Musk to be more aggressive in his attempts to slash $2 trillion from government spending.

As well as rattling US Senator Tina Smith and Democratic representative Jasmine Crockett, there have also been protests up and down the country outside various government departments.
For all of those who are supporting Musk in his crusade, it seems there are just as many who want him to keep out of politics.
Now, one TikTok creator has found out that words have consequences, and after seemingly making a threat about assassinating the DOGE head, she went on to boast about not having filed her taxes for eight years
Before her account disappeared, Sarah C. Roberts posted a TikTok video where she said: "I promised myself I would avoid the news, but obviously, I haven't.

"Here's my one thought, I have many thoughts, Elon Musk."
Roberts then mentioned Musk and appeared to do a slashing motion across her throat, continuing: "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."
Although the video is now gone, that's not before it caught the attention of Musk himself and Acting United States Attorney Ed Martin of the District of Columbia. Posting on X, Musk wrote: "Death threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud."
He went on to tag Martin, who acknowledged Musk for bringing Roberts to his attention when resharing the clip from his own account, saying: "Duly noted. Thx for letting us know. We'll put you in the system. Talk soon, M'am. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw."
Responding to Roberts' video, one person wrote: "People out here actively committing and confessing to crimes, recording it, and still deciding to upload it to the internet. When did we as a people lose that skill of understanding likely consequences of our actions?"

Another added: "Did she think whispering was going to somehow hide what she just said. She’s talking into a camera for Fvck sake’s. These people are unhinged a need to be arrested @FBIDirectorKash @PamBondi stop this insanity Now before someone gets hurt!"
A third confused user concluded: "I’m amazed at how many people there are online who will openly hand the American justice system a slam dunk like this. At least give your lawyer something to work with. 🤡🤡🤡."
It's currently unclear what happened next and whether Martin made good on his promises of action, but for the time being, Roberts' TikTok is still dark.
