Indiana Man Charged With Threats To Murder Musk

“I’m gunning you down.” “You’re on my hit list.” “We will gut you.” These threats aimed at billionaire and President Donald Trump’s advisor Elon Musk on the social media platform he owns were revealed in charging documents against the Southern Indiana man police say posted them to X.

David Allen June Cherry, 28, landed behind bars after allegedly typing these words behind a screen. In a probable cause for his arrest, Cherry explained to Indiana State Police that he was trying to get attention, and he did not intend to carry out any of the threats.
