The suspension on Kick comes two days after Elon Musk indicated he would demonetize Destiny on X in the wake of several posts that gloated about the death of Corey Comperatore who was shot and killed by an assassin attempting to murder President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Comperatore was identified as one of the victims by the Pennsylvania State Police. His daughter Allyson detailed he died saving her and his wife’s life. She wrote, “The media will not tell you that he died a real-life super hero. They are not going to tell you how quickly he threw my mom and I to the ground. They are not going to tell you that he shielded my body from the bullet that came at us.”

X user Dom Lucre compiled the posts and questioned, “Dear Elon Musk, why are there ads on TheOmniLiberal profile? I believe this page is now in violation of the “Hate or extremist content and Sensitive Content section of X standards. This means his account should be permanently suspended from X ads revenue sharing program.”
