After the uproar caused by Elon Musk’s “humorous” post, as he called it, after the second assassination attempt against Trump – that “no one is trying to assassinate Biden or Harris” – the issue reached the White House.

In a statement, the White House condemned the post, saying “this rhetoric is irresponsible.”

“Violence should never be condemned, encouraged or viewed as a joke,” the statement said, adding that “there should be no place for political violence or any violence ever in our country.”

At the same time, the US secret services (FBI, CIA) succinctly commented to the BBC that “they are aware” of the controversial post of the CEO of X and a supporter of the Republican candidate.

“In practice, we do not comment on issues related to protection and security information,” the statement added. “We can say, however, that intelligence agencies are investigating all threats related to our proteges.”

The United States Secret Service (USSS) provides security for the president and vice president of the United States and their families, as well as former presidents.

She is also responsible for the security of important presidential and vice presidential candidates, their spouses, and visiting foreign heads of state.
