Elon Musk Deletes Controversial Post on Kamala Harris and Joe Biden After Backlash
Elon Musk Deletes Post Following Backlash
Elon Musk deleted a controversial post in which he stated that no one is even trying to assassinate President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. This tweet came in response to backlash from users on X. Hours after the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a round of golf, Musk's statement sparked outrage.
Musk's original post was a reaction to a question posed by DogeDesinger, asking why there were threats against Donald Trump. In a follow-up, Musk reflected that just because something is funny in a group setting does not guarantee it will be taken lightly in public.
Public Reaction and Criticism
The backlash was swift, with many internet users, politicians, and commentators voicing their disapproval. Former Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) described Musk's comments as *unhinged* and *dangerous*, urging him to seek help. Additionally, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates criticized the remarks, stating that violence should only be condemned and never joked about, calling Musk's rhetoric incredibly *irresponsible*.
