In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk discussed his controversial post regarding Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
As previously reported, the owner of X made a disturbing post a few weeks ago following the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump. At that time, Musk tweeted, “Why they want to kill Donald Trump?” He added, “And no one is even trying to assassinate Kamala,”accompanied by a thinking face emoji. Following backlash, he deleted the post from his account.
During his conversation with Carlson, Musk emphasized that his comments about assassination attempts on the political figure were meant as a joke, and both he and Carlson laughed as he explained… “The Kamala puppet, I call her,” Musk said to Carlson. “I made a joke, which I deleted. … Nobody is even bothering to try and kill Kamala because it’s pointless.”
While discussing the theory, he elaborated, “What do you achieve? Nothing,” he said. “[She’ll just be] replaced by another puppet.” He continued, “Nobody tried to kill Joe Biden. Now, some people interpreted that as I was calling for someone to assassinate her. But I was like, ‘No, I was in a rush.’ I was like, ‘Doesn’t it seem strange that no one has even bothered to try?’”
“It’s not worth it, there’s an endless supply,” Carlson chuckled. “It could be anybody.”

So far, authorities say two men have attempted to assassinate Trump this year alone. The first man was killed by the Secret Service after opening fire and grazing Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. As for the second man in South Florida, he is now facing multiple charges.
Trump recently addressed this topic at a rally over the weekend. He said, “Those who want to stop us… have slandered me, impeached me, indicted me, tried to throw me off the ballot, and, who knows, maybe even tried to kill me,” Trump stated on Saturday. “I will never quit, I will never bend, I will never break, I will never yield – not even in the face of death itself,” Trump added.
