Elon Musk has been slammed for his comment on the act of political violence that occurred on Saturday night in Washington D.C.
Gunfire erupted as the White House Correspondents' dinner commenced, triggering an instant security reaction. The head table, which included the president, the vice president, and the first lady, among others, was evacuated within seconds, as Secret Service agents rushed them from the ballroom, which comes amid an alarming assassination conspiracy theory.
As the world observed the situation develop, numerous individuals remarked on the significant security lapse that fortunately was addressed before any tragedy occurred. It comes after a bizarre bulge was spotted under Trump's pants – leading to an alarming accusation.
Former leader of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, Musk, expressed his views on the incident on X.
Musk, whose estranged daughter dropped a bombshell confession on his baby, posted in a stark and ominous message: "If they're willing to die to assassinate, imagine what they will do if they gain political power."
Almost instantly, the responses were flooded with people puzzled about Musk's position. The SpaceX CEO was a key player in Trump's presidential campaign and received a senior role in his administration, reports the Express US.

Nevertheless, tensions emerged in his relationship with the president, and they ultimately separated following a public disagreement on social media.
@Bre_levins posted: "You've flipped sides so many times I can't keep up." @b7gger posted, "who's they? you're the biggest fraud. You wanna make this a democrat vs republican thing…. It's the same elite class that's pulling the strings and you're in on it."
Musk also replied directly to a chart that examined the correlation between individuals holding graduate degrees and their stance on political violence.
"Grad school indoctrination camps," he posted.
Law enforcement named Cole Allen, a 31-year-old California instructor at C2 Education, as the suspected gunman shortly after the shooting occurred Saturday evening.
Allen is charged with rushing past a security checkpoint armed with two guns and knives at the Washington Hilton Hotel, where the annual dinner was being held, before discharging his weapon. One Secret Service officer was struck in the chest, allegedly by Allen, but was shielded by his bulletproof vest.
No additional injuries were recorded, and Allen was taken into custody on felony charges following medical assessment at the hospital.
It comes amid growing concern about the president's erratic behavior – just days ago, Trump made a disturbing sex comment on stage that stunned his audience into silence.
