Elon Musk faced backlash for a controversial post on his platform X, where he questioned why no one was attempting to assassinate President Biden or Vice President Harris, following an alleged assassination attempt on former President Trump. His initial comment, aimed at humor, was met with criticism from users across the political spectrum, prompting concerns that it could incite violence. The Secret Service acknowledged awareness of Musk's post but did not comment further on potential investigations. After deleting the post, Musk stated that context is crucial for humor and expressed regret over the misunderstanding. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates condemned the rhetoric, emphasizing that violence should never be joked about. Musk's comments reflect a broader pattern of his provocative online behavior, particularly as he has aligned with more conservative ideologies in recent years.
