The richest man in the world, who also happens to be a U.S. defense contractor, is being criticized on social media on Sunday after questioning why people aren’t trying to assassinate Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump over the weekend was tackled by his own Secret Service after an individual was reportedly spotted hiding on the former president’s golf course behind a bush with an AK-47. Authorities say they fired at the man, who was later apprehended and is being questioned.

A graphic designer posted a question, “Why they want to kill Donald Trump?” Elon Musk, who owns the social media company that he renamed from Twitter to “X,” posted a controversial statement in response.

“And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala,” Musk wrote with a “thinking face” emoji.

The comment did not go over well.

    Could it be that it’s because Harris isn’t a fascist piece of shit and the most pressing threat to democracy in American history? Could it be that Trump is an Un-American dumpster fire, and likely a full fledged asset of Russia and Vladimir Putin? Could it be that he traded nuclear secrets? Could it be that he received $10 million from Egypt’s president? Could it be all the rapes? Could it be the belittling of American armed forces? Maybe it was the violent coup attempt, or just the general courtship between Trump and angry uneducated whites?

    Durrr, what could be the reason?

    Wouldn’t it be something if Trump got killed by his own weapon? Like if he had been successful in removing the metal detectors from the mall on January 6th, and somebody had smuggled in a gun and killed him with it.

    Trump and his supporters are this country’s weird ex-boyfriend that won’t stop stalking her and threatening her for attention.
