Elon Musk deletes X post about 'no one' attempting to assassinate Biden or Harris
Elon Musk said his now-deleted X post about how “no one is even trying to assassinate” President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris was intended to be a joke.
The tech billionaire’s comment came after what the FBI is investigating as an “apparent assassination” attempt on former President Donald Trump on Sunday. Shots were fired in Trump’s vicinity while he was at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. The suspect was taken into custody and charged with two federal counts: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. In July, a gunman was killed after he shot Trump in the ear in an assassination attempt during a Pennsylvania rally.
Musk, who owns X, had posted a response to a user who had asked, “Why they want to kill Donald Trump?” Musk, who took over X — then Twitter — in October 2022, has been known to elevate debunked conspiracy theories on the platform. He has also been a staunch Trump supporter.
