Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has strongly criticised the New York Times (NYT) for publishing an opinion piece about former President Donald Trump just a day after an assassination attempt on Trump’s life.
The opinion piece, which appeared in the New York Times’ Sunday edition, stated that Trump “failed the tests of leadership and betrayed America” and urged voters to reject him in the upcoming election.
Musk took to his social media platform, X, to express his outrage, calling the New York Times “truly callous and despicable human beings” for their lack of empathy.
He shared a picture of the opinion piece, which read, “He failed the tests of leadership and betrayed America. Voters must reject him in November.”
Musk’s criticism was not limited to the opinion piece but also included his own experiences with assassination attempts.
He revealed that he had been the target of two assassination attempts within the past eight months, with individuals arrested near Tesla’s headquarters in Texas.
The assassination attempt on Trump occurred at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, where a shooter fired three rounds at the former president, wounding his right ear.
Trump was quickly taken to a hospital for treatment. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation and concern about the safety of political leaders.
Elon Musk said, “The New York Times just published this about Trump today.
“They are truly callous and despicable human beings. Not a shred of empathy.”….Seë_Morë
