Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, stirred controversy with his latest remarks regarding former US President Donald Trump and the Biden-Harris administration.

In a recent, now-deleted post on X, Musk questioned the lack of attempts on the lives of current US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, following an alleged assassination attempt on Trump.

The comment came after a user on X posed the question, "Why they want to kill Donald Trump?" Musk responded by saying, "And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala." The response has drawn mixed reactions, with many criticizing the Tesla CEO for making such a provocative statement.

Musk's remarks have fueled ongoing debates about the divisive political climate in the United States. Some viewed his comments as inflammatory, while others argued it reflected frustrations with the perceived political imbalance in public discourse.

The Biden-Harris administration has not yet publicly commented on Musk's statement. However, political analysts believe this could add to the existing tensions between Musk and the current administration, especially as the tech mogul has been vocal about his criticism of various governmental policies.
