It was only on Sunday that the FBI was able to arrest a man who allegedly wanted to assassinate the former president.

A user then posted a tweet on Musk's X platform asking why anyone would try to assassinate Trump.

The tech giant caused a stir with his response early on Monday morning: "And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala."
