X platform boss and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk wasted no time dumping on Vice President Kamala Harris after President Joe Biden endorsed her following his decision this week to end his re-election campaign.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” Biden wrote in a letter posted to social media and elsewhere online on Sunday. “And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
Not long afterward, he endorsed Harris. “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President,” the president said. “And it’s been the best decision I’ve made.
“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this,” he added.
That led Musk to post an older video clip of Harris chairing a meeting where she introduces herself this way: “Good afternoon. I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris. My pronouns are ‘she’ and ‘her.’ I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.”
In the post, Musk wrote: “Imagine 4 years of this…”

The remarks in question were from a “roundtable with disability advocates,” according to a White House transcript, held on July 26, 2022.
Others mocked Harris as well. At the time, GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado posted on X: “Kamala Harris just introduced herself with she/her pronouns at an official event. She then clarified that she was a ‘woman’ sitting at the table wearing a blue suit. This is what happens when your speechwriter quits and you hang around with Geriatric Joe too long.”
Fox News host Sean Hannity said during a Monday show segment that Harris is most guilty of covering for Biden during their nearly four-year term as his mental health and acuity declined.
The segment featured Dr. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician and now GOP congressman from Texas, who knew Biden well while serving as then-President Barack Obama’s personal doctor, as well as longtime journalist Charlie Hurt, the latter of whom blamed Harris directly for hiding Biden’s condition from the country for years.
“What about the big lie and the biggest liar in terms of covering up and lying about Joe’s cognitive state, Charlie Hurt, that would be Kamala Harris?” Hannity said to begin the segment.

“Yeah, it’s — you know, everything that we have sort of been through in the last couple of days with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is extraordinary under any circumstance, but it’s particularly extraordinary when you realize that these are the same people, the Biden administration and Kamala Harris, leading Democrats, the very Democrats who are trying to push Joe Biden out of office are the same people who have been lying to the American people for years now, and particularly over the past six or eight months when it’s clear that the president’s cognitive state has gotten even worse,” Hurt said.
“They have been lying to the people about who is running the country, the state of the president and his ability to make decisions for the country. So when you have what has happened in the last couple of days and, you know, obviously, there was that voice call that we heard from Joe Biden, but I don’t think that’s particularly reassuring,” he continued.
“You know, this is a huge moment in American history and the idea that the president of the United States does not come out and address the American people, there are no photographs, you read that statement, the statement sounds weird, it’s — there is a lot of questions, and when you know the track record of lying from these people, it makes it all the more troubling,” Hurt added.
