Twitter/X CEO Elon Musk is being pelted with online anger and ridicule after he posted (and later deleted) a tweet in which he suggested that it was odd no one was trying to assassinate President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris.
Musk’s posting came just hours after another alleged attempt on the life of disgraced ex-president Donald Trump, who was golfing on Sunday when a man was apprehended for allegedly carrying an AR-15 rifle near the golf club where Trump was playing.
According to federal authorities, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was taken into custody and is facing several serious charges. He is expected to appear before a federal magistrate today.
This led Musk to post, “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala.”
As if attempting to defend the post, Musk sent out other tweets after he deleted the first one.
Despite Musk’s attempts at walking back the first posting, other social media users weren’t buying his bogus excuses.
