In a post on his X account, Musk argued that disarming citizens is often the first step taken by tyrants, citing the example of former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who disarmed the populace and then eliminated real elections.

Musk’s comments came in response to a discussion involving Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock, who was asked whether Vice President Kamala Harris should support a mandatory gun buyback program.
Buyback programs, which aim to reduce the number of firearms in circulation by purchasing them from private owners, have been a contentious issue in the U.S. Musk’s stance against such programs aligns with his belief in safeguarding the right to bear arms against potential government overreach.
