Tesla CEO and billionaire Elon Musk has sparked controversy by mocking U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle over the recent attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life.
Musk amplified calls for Cheatle’s resignation, claiming that she was “guarding Cheetos” before her appointment as head of the Secret Service. This comment was in reference to Cheatle’s previous role as a Secret Service agent, where she was allegedly tasked with protecting snack foods rather than high-profile individuals.
The backlash from Musk’s remarks has led to the hashtag “Kimberly ‘Cheetos'” trending on social media, as users mock the Secret Service director’s perceived lack of competence. Many have criticized Musk’s comments as unprofessional and disrespectful towards a senior government official.
