Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner was widely mocked by conservatives on social media over a post lamenting Space X and Tesla CEO Elon Musk being labeled the world’s first trillionaire."Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire," Platner posted on X on Friday. "Let’s make sure he’s also the last."Platner’s post, which was seen over 2 million times as of Friday evening, was referring to news that Musk’s SpaceX began trading at $150 a share on Friday, above its listing price of $135 a share, making him the world's first-ever trillionaire following the initial public offering.THE GROWING LIST OF CONTROVERSIES THREATENING DEMOCRAT GRAHAM PLATNER'S MAINE SENATE BIDOnline reactions poured in following Graham Platner's criticism of Elon Musk's trillionaire status.(Sophie Park/Bloomberg via Getty Images ; Johannes Neudecker/picture alliance via Getty Images)The post received heavy criticism from conservatives on social media, with many bringing up the various controversies surrounding Platner's campaign, including reports of infidelity, a Nazi tattoo, physical abuse of an ex-girlfriend and social media posts criticizing the military and rural America."Communists can never quite grasp that if you make Musk poorer, you make millions of others poorer in the process because unlike them, he actually creates value for others in society," Red State writer Bonchie posted on X.
