Elon Musk deletes X post about Biden, Harris assassination threats after backlash

Tesla CEO and X majority owner Elon Musk wrote and then deleted a Sunday post on X that appeared to question why there weren’t more assassination threats made against President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Musk, who has 197.8 million listed followers on X, posted the message shortly after a second apparent assassination attempt against Republican former President Donald Trump.

The post was prompted by an X user who asked, “Why they want to kill Donald Trump?”

Musk replied, “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala,” punctuating his sentence with a thinking face emoji.
