No one is even trying to assassinate…: Elon Musk on Trump Florida shooting
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has reacted to the second “assassination attempt” on former US President Donald Trump and questioned why “no” assassination attempts are being made on US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Responding to a question from an X user,” Why they want to kill Donald Trump?”, the Tesla CEO said, “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala”.
Former US president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Sunday faced a second assassination attempt after gunshots were fired outside a golf course in Florida where he was playing.
The suspect left an AK-47-style assault rifle and other items at the scene and fled in a vehicle but was later arrested by US investigative agencies.
The apparent attempt on Trump’s life came just two months after he was shot at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, sustaining a minor injury to his right ear.
After the incident, Trump Campaign Communications director, Steven Cheung said, “President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time.”
In a message to his supporters, Trump said he is safe.
“There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL! Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!” the former president said.
