Someone on X posed the question, “Why do they want to kill Donald Trump?” in response to the statement. In response, Elon Musk said via Twitter that “no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala.” The White House has made it clear that it does not agree with the comment that Musk made.
The president’s office released a statement on Monday in which they expressed their disapproval of the “irresponsible” remark and an emoji face with a raised eyebrow. The statement was released in response to the message. A statement was made by the White House, which read as follows: “Violence should never be encouraged or joked about; it should only be condemned.” The speech in question does not contain any responsibility. Additionally, the statement emphasised that there should be “no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country.” This concept was included in the statement.
On Monday, the Secret Service announced that it was aware of a post that the billionaire had made on the social network X as well. The Secret Service disclosed this information. After a man who was suspected of plotting to kill Donald Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach was brought into custody on Sunday, Musk, who is the owner of the platform that was formerly known as Twitter, made the comment. Musk’s statement came after the guy was released from custody.
The comments that Musk made to his almost 200 million followers on X were immediately met with condemnation from users on both the left and the right sides of the political spectrum. These people voiced their concern that the statements made by Musk could incite violence against Deputy President Biden and Senator Harris. Musk is a fan of Trump on a personal level.
After the Secret Service, which is in charge of protecting current and previous presidents, vice presidents, and other notable individuals, acknowledged the message, the tech mogul deleted it. The Secret Service is responsible for protecting these individuals. Despite this, the Secret Service of the United States did not overlook it.
Musk, The Secret Service is aware of Elon Musk’s social media post, and as a matter of policy, we do not comment on matters involving protective intelligence, according to a Secret Service representative who provided the following statement in an email. On the other side, the Secret Service is responsible for conducting investigations into any and all threats that are connected to the individuals who we are tasked with protecting.
Musk appeared to hint in subsequent posts that he had been joking around, but the spokesperson would not provide any other information regarding whether or not the agency had sought to contact him. Also, she declined to provide any additional information.
After a certain amount of time had gone, he concluded, “Well, one thing I’ve learnt is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh, it doesn’t mean that it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on X.” A substantial amount of research has shown that when people are not aware of the context and the joke is delivered in plain text, the level of humour that they experience is significantly lower.
Both Harris, a Democrat who is competing against Trump, the Republican contender for president in the election of 2024, and Biden issued remarks on Sunday night expressing satisfaction that Trump had not been injured. Harris is running against Trump.
