Elon Musk deleted a post Monday morning that questioned why former President Donald Trump has faced two apparent assassination attempts in recent months while President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have not encountered any. Musk later claimed the post was a joke.
“And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala 🤔,” Musk wrote in the now-deleted X post.
Musk initially resisted numerous calls throughout Sunday night to delete the post. In one post responding to a demand to take down his remarks, Musk [doubled down](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1835537833869623681): “No one has even tried to do so is the point I’m making and no one will.”
It’s gonna be amazing when this sentient pile of expired potato salad gets his comeuppance

You know maybe it’s time to remove his government clearance and end his contracts

Ah yes.. “it’s just a joke”… The cry of weak assholes everywhere who get called out for being abusive assholes and try to use it to excuse their terrible behavior.

In Musk’s defense, it probably does muddy the waters a bit when Vance is making a statement the same day that: “If I have to create stories… that’s what I’m going to do.” … not that I think the assassination attempt was staged but statements like that are not helping with the crazies. No wonder Elon is confused.

He knows that deleting things from the internet doesn’t actually remove them…right? Cat’s out of the bag already.

Good first step, Elon.
Now delete yourself from public discourse.

He was hinting that stochastic terrorism would not be unwelcome… ugh!

Said it before and I’m saying it again. We can deal with this Leon problem now, or we can deal with it later. Strip security clearance, revoke the foreigner’s citizenship, nationalize Space X and Twitter, permanent ban from Twitter.

Removing Musk and Trump from all social media would make the world a better place

He should be banned from Twitter permanently. I know he owns it but so what…

You can question all you want. But probably best not to put out to your followers why people aren’t taking shots at Kamala Harris.

Once upon a time I used to think he is a smart businessman. Elon cult followers gave him way too much credit. Now he is just another rich ahole who wants to say whatever comes to his mind. No wonder he bought twitter for this reason

It’s odd the only “dangerous foreign national” I’ve ever seen isn’t the hard working migrant families, kind and fun neighbors but the strange South African rich guy who owns the space thing and 12Chan (I mean Twitter)

What a loser. Makes a disgusting statement from behind his keyboard and deletes it like a dog with his tail between his legs when the world hates him for it.
He’s an insufferable and wildly insecure grifter… no wonder him and Trump get along swimmingly.

The one where he encouraged assassination attempt against the president and vp? That question?

I’m just gonna say it, after Trump turned out to have no wound on his ear after the first one, I’m not buying this golf course story. I think they’re just trying to distract from all of the horrible news about him right now.
Losing the debate, the attack on black people in Springfield that came from a lie JD Vance admitted to telling, the Laura Loomer mistake, all of the lawsuits for using artist’s music without permission, the Tay Tay endorsement, whatever Melania is doing, losing the endorsement of dozens of prominent Republicans to Kamala, low crowd turnout, project 2025, the school shootings, the 2 wars he helped start, his obvious mental decline, the existential threat of going to prison without access to internet, etc.
There’s your conspiracy MAGAs since you love them so much.

He wasn’t questioning the Trump assassination attempt. He was lamenting that it hasn’t happened to Biden or Harris yet.

No, he deleted a post questioning why no one has tried to assassinate Harris or Walz. This headline just makes it look like he questioned whether it was real or not. Fuck CNN.

Musk initially resisted numerous calls throughout Sunday night to delete the post. In one post responding to a demand to take down his remarks, Musk [doubled down](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1835537833869623681): “No one has even tried to do so is the point I’m making and no one will.”
But Musk was ultimately persuaded by an [X post](https://twitter.com/PTrubey/status/1835538246375457232) that said Musk’s “obvious intent” may be misinterpreted.
“Fair enough. I don’t want to do what they have done, even in jest,” Musk [responded](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1835572816730636430). He later posted [several times](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1835574495467159607) that the deleted post had been a [joke](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1835573866271330307).
