Billionaire Elon Musk sent out a controversial post on Sunday following the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump.

Full tweet:

As usual, he’s now claiming it’s just a joke. https://www.mediaite.com/news/elon-musk-deletes-appalling-and-indefensible-harris-biden-assassination-social-media-post/

    Isn’t the straightforward answer to his question that people don’t want Harris or Biden dead enough to put themselves at risk of death or arrest?

    Why be baffled when the answer is obvious?

      He’s not baffled.

      Not baffled at all.

      Because he wants to spread rumors of conspiracy theories, as that is the only thing that would redeem someone like Trump.

        We should also point out that because Trump said he’s going to be put in a cabinet position we can take this as a direct word from the Trump campaign.
