US Intelligence Agencies Interested in Musk's Remarks About "Killing" Biden and Harris.
US Secret Service Investigates Elon Musk's Tweet About Biden and Harris's Safety
The US Secret Service has started an investigation into a controversial tweet by billionaire Elon Musk related to the safety of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. This information is published by Bloomberg.
The incident occurred on September 15, when Musk, known for his provocative behavior online, reposted a message about an attempt to assassinate Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. In doing so, he added his own comment: "And nobody is even trying to kill Biden or Kamala".
This remark sparked an immediate reaction from users, calling on the entrepreneur to delete the post, considering it unacceptable. Although Musk initially refused to do so, he eventually deleted the tweet the next day, stating that it was just a joke.
However, this situation has already attracted the attention of the US Secret Service, which is responsible for the safety of the president and his family. In response to Bloomberg's inquiry, representatives of the service confirmed that records of Musk's message were collected for law enforcement purposes, but the details of the investigation are not disclosed to maintain procedural effectiveness.
According to Axios, although the investigation may not necessarily result in legal consequences for Musk, he will likely have to prove that there is no real threat to President Biden and presidential candidate Harris.
The White House has also responded to this incident, reminding of the importance of countering political violence. A representative of the Biden administration emphasized that there is no place for any violence in the country and urged all citizens to make efforts to prevent the escalation of such situations.
