ALBAWABA - X platform owner Elon Musk is under fire after his latest posts online following the second assassination attempt against former US President Donald Trump.
Donald Trump was subjected to another assassination attempt on Sunday after a gunshot incident that happened close to the Republican Presidential candidate when he was playing golf at his Palm Beach property.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden responded to Trump's second assassination attempt and said: "I am relieved that the former President is unharmed." He added that he directed his team to continue "to ensure that Secret Service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former President’s continued safety."
US media released the name of the suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who was arrested by the Security Services 38 miles away from the golf court.
The "apparent" second assassination attempt took place just two months after former US president Trump survived a shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania, but his right ear was slightly injured.
Elon Musk sparks controversy over his statements on Trump's second assassination attempt:
A post on X was shared by DogeDesigner reading: "Why they want to kill Donald Trump?". It generated massive engagement with many decrying another attempt to assassinate the former US president.
X owner reported the question and wrote: "And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala."
The hashtag "#DeportElonMusk" went viral after the Telsa CEO made his last comment, which was now deleted. A person wrote: "Who else here feels that Elon Musk should be stripped of his security clearance, and U.S. citizenship and then deported back to his home nation of South Africa?"
Another said: "Even if they don't "#DeportElonMusk," I'm happy to screenshot his post to document that he said this for all relevant authorities to consider his citizenship, government contracts, business practices, and more. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences."
