Billionaire Elon Musk suggested that Google's omission of search functions for the assassination attempt against former President Trump may be improper.

Musk took to social media to highlight that Google Search's autocomplete feature omitted results relating to the July 13 shooting. Google has denied taking any action to limit the results.

"Wow, Google has a search ban on President Donald Trump." Musk wrote. "Election interference?"

"They’re getting themselves into a lot of trouble if they interfere with the election," he wrote in a follow-up post.

"Our systems have protections against Autocomplete predictions associated with political violence, which were working as intended prior to this horrific event occurring," the spokesperson wrote. "We’re working on improvements to ensure our systems are more up to date."

"Big Tech is trying to interfere in the election AGAIN to help Kamala Harris," Donald Trump Jr. wrote on X. "We all know this is intentional election interference from Google. Truly despicable."

Google's spokesperson went on to say the autocomplete feature is "just a tool to help people save time" and they can still search for anything they want.

"Following this terrible act, people turned to Google to find high quality information – we connected them with helpful results, and will continue to do so," the company said.
