Elon Musk: “No one is even trying to assassinate Biden and Kamala”

Elon Musk once again finds himself at the heart of controversy after posting a message on his X platform about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, which occurred while he was golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida, last weekend.

Musk’s controversial post, now deleted, read “And nobody is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala”. This remark naturally provoked strong reactions on social networks.

Musk who reportedly initially refused to retract his statement, insisting that no one had tried to attack Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.

He eventually deleted the comment, after much criticism, but Musk tried to minimize the impact of his remarks by claiming that it was just a joke.

He finally acknowledged that publishing on X is different and may not be as funny as making a joke in person in front of people.

Many people, including the White House spokesman, were quick to react, calling Musk’s post “irresponsible”.

President Biden reacted to the events in Palm Beach by expressing his gratitude that President Trump is safe. He also stressed that there is no place for political violence and promised to allocate more resources to the Secret Service.

Presidential candidate and Trump rival Kamala Harris also strongly condemned the events, strongly denouncing all political violence.

Although the shocking post was removed, Musk continued posting, accusing Democrats and the media of being responsible for Trump’s assassination attempt. Since then, Forbes and Business Insider reported that the Secret Service is investigating Musk’s original post.
