The White House condemned Elon Musk after he posted a comment on X suggesting "no one is even trying" to assassinate President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris. The comment, intended as a joke, was removed by Musk following backlash. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates criticized Musk, calling the rhetoric "irresponsible" and emphasizing that violence should not be trivialized. This post followed an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, which heightened scrutiny on public statements regarding political violence.
