Musk faces backlash after Trump assassination attempt, asks why Harris, Biden not targeted?

Elon Musk is facing backlash following a controversial comment he made on his social media platform, X, in the wake of an apparent second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

In a now-deleted post, Musk questioned why there have been no assassination attempts on President Joe Biden or Vice-President Kamala Harris.

The remarks came after gunshots were fired near Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday. The FBI is now probing what it says appears to be a second attempted assassination of Trump.

Just two months earlier, Trump survived an attempt on his life when a shooter opened fire during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

Musk’s post was met with backlash on X.
