Former U.S. President Donald Trump has responded to an alleged assassination attempt on Elon Musk, urging the immediate deportation of those involved. The incident has sparked widespread concern and debate across the nation.

Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, was reportedly the target of a foiled attack, leading to an intense response from Trump, who took to social media to demand quick action. He emphasized the need for stronger immigration controls, linking the incident to broader concerns about public safety and national security.

Trump’s call for deportations has added fuel to an already heated political climate, with critics arguing that the former president is using the situation to further his hardline stance on immigration. Supporters, however, believe his response is justified and necessary to protect high-profile figures like Musk.

The alleged assassination attempt has raised questions about the safety of prominent tech leaders and the potential motives behind such attacks. As investigations continue, the public awaits further details on the incident and the broader implications it may have on U.S. policies and security measures.
