The US Secret Service, which is responsible for the protection of the president and members of his family, began an audit due to the tweet of the founder of SpaceX and the owner of the social network X Ilona Mask. It is reported by Bloomberg.
In response to a request from the publication in the secret service, they stated that the posts of the mask “were collected for law enforcement purposes” and were not disclosed, as this may interfere with law enforcement procedures.
According to Axios, the investigation of the secret service does not mean that the mask will be brought to any responsibility, but he will probably have to prove that he is not a threat to President Joe Biden or presidential candidate Kamaly Harris.
We are talking about tweet, which Musk wrote on the evening of September 15 after an attempt to attempt the presidential candidate from the Republican Party Donald Trump. Musk responded tweet of one of the users of the social network X, which said: "Why do they want to kill Donald Trump?" Musk accompanied his repost with the following message: "And no one is even trying to kill Biden or Kamal."
Users called on the mask to remove the tweet, but he refused to do it. As a result, he deleted the tweet the next day and stated that it was a joke.
The post of mask was criticized in the White House. “As President Bidden and Vice President Harris said after yesterday’s alarm,“ In our country there is no place for political violence or any violence, ”and“ We must all contribute to this incident that this incident does not lead to greater violence ””, - said the representative of the Biden administration.
