On May 26, Beijing time, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called for "strict" background checks on all gun purchases, but also supported gun ownership as a "safeguard measure". Just a day ago, a gunman killed at least 19 children and two adults at a primary school in southern Texas.
In an email, musk accused the media of giving the killers the attention they craved by reporting mass shootings. "As for the recent events, the gunmen obviously did this to attract as much attention as possible. Why did the media do what the" murderer "wanted?" He said.
He said he supported "strict background checks" on all gun sales and restricted the sale of offensive weapons to special groups, such as shooting range owners or people living in "high-risk areas such as gang conflict".
At the same time, he also supports holding guns. "I firmly believe that the right to bear arms is an important guarantee." He said.
