The nation was rocked today when President Joe Biden was seen smelling children in the Capitol during a ceremony to honor the victims of gun violence. The incident has sparked a frenzy of speculation across the political spectrum, but few could have anticipated the response from tech mogul Elon Musk.
Musk weighed in on the GOP division, amid Representative Kevin McCarthy’s repeated failed attempts to become House speaker.
The Tesla CEO tweeted, “Biden’s actions are a clear indication of his support for gun control laws. Smelling children is a sign of solidarity with those who have suffered from gun violence, and a reminder of why we must never accept lax gun laws.”
The tweet was met with widespread approval as many conservative leaders praised Musk for his stance.
The most vocal reaction came from Marjorie Taylor Greene, who tweeted her support for Musk and his stance on gun control.
“Elon Musk’s support for gun control is an important reminder of the need for stronger gun laws,” the Georgia Representative tweeted.
The tweet quickly went viral and prompted McCarthy to respond with a tweet of his own, which was quickly flagged for violating Twitter’s rules and was subsequently removed.
McCarthy’s tweet was seen as a direct attack on Biden for his stance on gun control and provoked a furious backlash from the President’s supporters.
For his part, Musk remained silent on the matter, but his tweet in support of gun control has been seen as a major victory for those who seek to enact stricter gun laws.
