Elon Musk has stirred up controversy once again, this time by responding to another account’s message discussing the attempted assassination of Donald Trump (again) by asking, “Why isn’t anyone attempting to assassinate Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?”
Shortly after, Elon deleted this message and said it was just a not-so-funny joke because people didn’t understand the context of what he was trying to convey.
Elon’s message prompted the White House to issue a statement criticizing his remarks as “irresponsible” and stating that violence should not be glorified or made into a joke.
Wired’s headline declared Elon as a “national security risk,” suggesting that it’s time to reconsider whether Elon should be involved in government projects like NASA and the Department of Defense, as his posts may incite violent behavior.
