Elon Musk drew widespread criticism for a response to the alleged assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, which many deemed inappropriate and insensitive. Musk initially made a joke about the situation, stating that he learned jokes are “less funny” without context and delivery, but later deleted the tweet after facing backlash. Users accused him of stoking division and inflaming tensions.
Elon Musk is seen at the 2024 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 08, 2024 in New York City. Elon Musk drew fierce backlash on his own X platform for what was slammed as an “appalling and indefensible” response to Trump was, per the FBI, the subject of “what appears to be an attempted assassination” at his golf club in Florida on Sunday, some nine weeks after he was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text,” he added.
