Acting United States Attorney Ed Martin of the District of Columbia replied to a post Monday showing a video of a woman calling for the assassination of Tesla CEO and White House Senior Advisor Elon Musk.
Martin previously opened probes into Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California over allegedly threatening comments they made about Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and U.S. Supreme Court justices, CBS News reported. The TikTok user admitted to not filing her taxes for eight years before she called for Musk’s murder in a video reposted to X by LibsofTikTok.

“I promised myself I would avoid the news,” the woman, who goes by the username “sarahcroberts” on the since-deleted account, said. “But obviously, I haven’t. Here’s my one thought – I have many thoughts – Elon Musk,” before making a gesture that appeared to mimic cutting a throat.
Duly noted. Thx for letting us know. We’ll put you in the system. Talk soon, M’am. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw https://t.co/zCMohyeHML

“Like when you do X him, and by X, I mean formally mean assassination and it’s a warning from the FBI is going to fucking show up, I don’t… arrest me,” the user said. “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 fucking say it. Let’s assassinate some motherfuckers.”
After the post was flagged by the LibsofTikTok account on X, Martin responded in a post from his official X account.
“Duly noted. Thx for letting us know,” Martin posted. “We’ll put you in the system. Talk soon, M’am. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw”
Musk also weighed in on the post on the social media site he purchased in 2022.

“Death threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud @EagleEdMartin,” Musk posted.
Martin previously promised to investigate threats to DOGE employees in a Feb. 7 letter to Musk and Steve Davis and added that some efforts to target DOGE employees may have violated the law in a Feb. 3 statement posted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
According to the DOGE website, at least $55 billion in savings have been identified since President Donald Trump established DOGE in a Jan. 20 executive order.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
