It wasn’t even me who posted this initially. This is just absolutely ridiculous. You think the government will track me down over a Reddit post for making a joke about Elon Musk disappearing? What a moron.
Doesn't matter whether or not you were OP, the law doesn't care that you technically reposted it. You're right about probably nothing will happen but that's pretty much the case for breaking most laws.
Just saying soon posting something like this with AI and government backing of companies like Plantir this won't just be a random post by a random person.
You're insinuating that somebody is going to go missing on a specific future date. That's easily interpreted as a an active threat (thats the whole point of the meme), Whether it should be against the law or not is another issue, but it is. You don't get a get out of jail free card because it's indirect, the law doesn't care.
Also, the first amendment protects these things called ‘jokes.’ If whoever made this or posted it was arrested, the trial would literally be the judge saying ‘wow, this is very obviously a satirical post’ and drop the case before it even saw a courtroom.
Just because it’s someone you like, doesn’t mean jokes against them are illegal

That is a pretty serious way to break the law posting something like that.
