Tech billionaire Elon Musk has deleted a social media post about the lack of assassination attempts on United States President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris following widespread criticism.
In the wake of a second apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Sunday, Musk wrote in a post on X that “no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala” along with an emoji of a face with a raised eyebrow.
The chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX, who has emerged as an outspoken Trump supporter in recent months, wrote the post in response to another X user questioning why people were trying to kill the Republican candidate.
Musk later wrote that the post had been a joke.
“Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on X,” Musk wrote.
