Elon Musk condemned Saturday night's shooting near the White House Correspondents' dinner in Washington DC, using his platform on X to argue that those prepared 'to die to assassinate' would be even more dangerous if they gained political power, and later branding US graduate schools 'indoctrination camps' in a separate post on political violence.
The gunfire broke out as guests were gathering at the Washington Hilton Hotel for the annual black-tie event, which draws senior politicians, journalists and celebrities. According to authorities, a man armed with two guns and knives allegedly forced his way through a security checkpoint outside the venue and began shooting.
