Elon Musk has called for tighter background checks but still defended the Second Amendment in the wake of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
The Tesla and SpaceX founder wrote in emails to CNBC that he supports “tight background checks” on all gun purchases, adding that he’s in favour of limits on the sale of assault rifles to only be allowed under certain circumstances – such as to gun range owners and those living in “high risk” locations, like where “gang warfare” is an issue.
