Trump Assassination Attempt: Elon Musk Calls For US Secret Service Director’s Resignation


Billionaire businessman, Elon Musk, on Sunday called for the resignation of the US Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, over the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

Musk, who made the call in a post on his social media account, in another post said that Secret Service’s failure to detect Trump’s attacker earlier before he fired shots was either because of extreme incompetence or a deliberate act.

He publicly endorsed Trump's 2024 presidential bid and expressed wishes for his swift recovery following the attack, stating his full support for his candidacy.

In one post, Musk wrote, “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.”

In another post in response to a social media user who questioned how a sniper with a full rifle kit was allowed to crawl onto the closest roof close to a presidential nominee, Musk said, “Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate. Either way, the SS (Secret Service) leadership must resign.”

In another post where he reacted to a trending video of a witness who told the BBC how he and some others spotted the shooter and alerted the Secret Service but were ignored, Musk said, “The head of the Secret Service and the leader of this security detail should resign.”

SaharaReporters earlier reported that the US House Oversight Committee, a key investigative body, had summoned the Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, to testify at a hearing scheduled for July 22 on the Trump assassination attempt.

In a statement, the committee emphasised that the public needs information and clarity on this matter, stating, "Americans demand answers about the assassination attempt of President Trump.”

No need for him to resign,everyone knows the attack was staged to boost trumps reelection chances through sympathy votes.Trump is a con man and they don't call him "don the con" for nothing.

Biden is still gonna beat him again like a talking drum even while on a wheel chair.

Americans do not need a clown as president.

God bless the democratic party.
God bless the USA.

Right, they failed to do the basics.
Before such high profile rally, they were supposed to make sure all elevated points within shooting range were clear.

Imagine if the bullet had followed the green path below, that head turn wouldn't have saved Trump.
Trump would have been a confirmed dead man by now.

I do not give a F about Trump nor Biden, cos none of them really cared about Nigeria.

But sincerely, I'm with Musk on this one, the US SSS really goofed on this, high profile events such as political rally of an ex president and yet proper vetting of the whole vicinity wasn't done? No, that's very poor! Can this happen to Putin? I'm not saying he's immortal, but if anything is gon kill that man, then it can't be something as cheap as a close range snipe bullet 🚅. Hotel, residence, and companies with tall structures would have been thoroughly scrutinized weeks before the rally, such that movement in and out during those periods would be highly monitored.

Except the US SSS had a hand in it, this is truly a result of total incompetence, the boss should resign.

BTW, why are my fellow country people clamouring for Trump's win as if it will benefit them here in Nigeria, except Nigerians in diaspora, I think we should channel those energy here either to support the current government or kick their ass out via revolutionary movement, just as we have seen in Kenya.

He's right, someone needs to answer for the lapses in security.
Although one might be tempted to applaud them for immediately being able to gun down the assassin, it could as well have been that they killed him to silence him from revealing those truly behind the attempted assassination.

That's accountability. Not like supporters of failure and incompetence. People will support incompetence and wonder why they're not progressing in life. Intelligent people know the importance of accountability. Without accountability you're just like a wild animal in the jungle

Elon is smart enough to know it was a movie

The script had to played.

Even attendees were looking at the Jew as he climbed, and a SS sniper still had him on sight and did nothing till he shot.

Moreover, who acts like he killed a fly after being grazed by a bullet? A 70 year old man with no military training? 😀😀😀

The movie should win an Oscar award.

….and no one is mentioning the fact that the shooter was a Jew and Republican. The media manipulating the real script. It would have been a terrorist attack if he was a Muslim
