Musk's now-deleted post commented on assassination concerns, sparking backlash. He initially defended his statement but later claimed it was meant as a joke.
In a follow-up, Musk remarked, 'Well, one lesson I've learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn't mean it's going to be all that hilarious as a post on X.'
He added, 'Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don't know the context and the delivery is plain text,' reflecting on the misunderstanding.
Despite deleting the post, Musk continues to engage with far-right conspiracy theories, linking to comments questioning the lack of recent assassination attempts on presidents.
