Elon Musk has faced backlash after writing, "No one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala," following an apparent second assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
On Sunday evening, a shooter attempted to assassinate the Republican presidential candidate at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, the FBI said. No injuries have been reported, according to the Associated Press, which cited a spokesperson for Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
Following the attack, user @cb_doge on X, formerly Twitter, wrote, "Why they want to kill Donald Trump." Musk, the billionaire owner of the social media site who supports Trump, replied, "And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala."
Musk's post, which appears to have been deleted, had been viewed 34.7 million times and liked 151,000 times by Monday morning.
The four most-liked responses to Musk's post were all critical of the billionaire. User @AesPolitics1 wrote: "What the f*** is wrong with you? Do you think before you press post?" Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican representative from Illinois, wrote: "Dude I'm not kidding here, get help. This is unhinged and dangerous." User @dogeofficialceo wrote, "Nobody should be trying to assassinate anyone." And user @theliamnissan wrote, "Elon Musk is a threat to national security."
