Elon Musk deleted his tweet that would have gotten him banned from X if anyone else had written it!
Elon Musk is back on the agenda with a post he shared on the X platform… After the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago found a replica of a person carrying an AK-47 with the aim of assassinating US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump, Musk made a comment about Biden and Harris.
After the suspect was caught during the start of the Trump assassination, Musk made a post on his official X (Twitter) account, making a joke saying, “Nobody even tried to assassinate Biden/Kamala,” and angered his conversations. This tweet spread quickly, garnered a huge backlash, and was deleted shortly after.

Security experts point out that Musk’s statements could have serious consequences. Former US Naval Academy professor Tom Nichols emphasized the seriousness of the situation by saying, “If I said something like that, I would lose my security clearance immediately. But this guy is still cooperating with the state!”
Musk responded to the backlash by saying, “I’ve learned that what I say in a group is not as funny when shared on X,” adding that the joke was taken out of context and taken elsewhere.
Musk’s latest move has once again brought to the agenda the responsibilities that come with owning social media platforms and the limits of freedom of expression. Don’t forget to share your views on the matter.
