Musk’s criticism comes in reaction to concerns about missing search results on a recent assassination attempt on Trump, underlining user complaints about being strangely redirected to news on Kamala Harris.

Tesla CEO criticized Google again for censoring search results about former US President Donald Trump. He took issue with Google for displaying results related to Kamala Harris when searching for Donald Trump. This criticism follows his recent concerns about the absence of search results related to an assassination attempt on Trump. The Tesla CEO took to X to pinpoint user complaints about being directed to news about US democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris instead of Donald Trump.

Calling it “crazy,” Musk proposed that the search engine might be censoring news about Donald Trump ahead of the US presidential elections in November. Musk even shared a post from a user who claimed that Google was mostly displaying “positive” prompts for searches on “why censorship is.” The user provided a screenshot and wrote, “When you type ‘why censorship is’ into Google search, the majority of suggestions are pro-censorship.”

Tesla CEO (who is also Starlink CEO) shared posts contending that Google failed to show results on an assassination attempt against Donald Trump. In response to claims that Google was being controlled by Democrats, Musk cautioned of potential trouble for election interference. Google denied modifying search predictions, stating that its system is designed to “help people save time” while permitting unrestricted searches.

Google’s response to Musk

After recently facing allegations from Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr. regarding a supposed “search ban” on former President Donald Trump, Google has responded. The tech giant had to respond after being accused of attempting to interfere with the upcoming 2024 US presidential election by manipulating its autocomplete results when typed in “assassination attempt on”.

In a statement to Fortune, Google vehemently denied taking “manual action” on the auto-complete predictions and stated that they are “working on improvements” to their auto-complete feature. Addressing the questions about the assassination attempt on Trump, a Google spokesperson offered explanation that their systems have “protections against autocomplete predictions associated with political violence,” which were working as intended.

The tech giant spokesperson also addressed Tesla CEO’s “Donald Duck” search and confessed that “auto-complete is currently not working as intended” for searches related to past presidents and the current vice president. “We’re looking into these anomalies and working on improvements, which we hope to roll out soon,” the spokesperson said. “Our auto-complete systems are dynamic, so predictions will change based on common and trending queries.” The Tesla boss had posted a screenshot of his search for “President Donald,” which yielded the strange suggestion “President Donald Duck” instead of “President Donald Trump.”
