Musk's post on why 'no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala'

Daily Mail  

The White House called Elon Musk 's rhetoric 'irresponsible' on Monday after the X owner wondered why nobody was trying to assassinate President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Responding to a post that asked: 'Why they want to kill Donald Trump?, Musk - who is backing Trump - provocatively remarked: 'And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden or Kamala. Musk's ill-conceived comments followed another heated incident involving the New Hampshire Libertarian Party, which was widely condemned for a tweet suggesting Harris should be killed. Musk just last week courted controversy when he labeled the government of Australia 'fascists' for proposing laws that would fine social media giants for spreading misinformation.
