Trump supporter Elon Musk has responded to the alleged attempted assassination of the former US president with a provocative post. On his online platform X, he wrote: “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala.” He put an emoticon with a thoughtful face behind the words.
Tech billionaire Musk is supporting Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump ahead of the November election. On X, he is stirring up sentiment against his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris. US President Joe Biden is not running again.
After the shooting near Trump on Sunday, the FBI suspects that there was a planned assassination attempt on the former president. In mid-July, Trump was hit in the right ear by a bullet at a campaign event in the state of Pennsylvania.
Most recently, Musk reacted mockingly to a post by US superstar Taylor Swift in which she announced her decision to support Harris. Harris and Trump are roughly neck and neck in polls. Both are primarily looking to win over undecided voters.
