Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X, reacted to an apparent assassination attempt against former President Donald Sunday by saying no one was trying to kill either President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris, in a strongly-condemned post.

Musk reshared a post Sunday night asking why people want to kill Donald Trump and wrote: “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala,” followed by the thinking face emoji.

The post immediately faced blowback from X users, but the billionaire—who has endorsed Trump—appeared to double down, responding with a “hundred points” emoji to a reply saying: “Trump threatens the machine. Biden/Kamala are the machine.”
