Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, recently recounted surviving an assassination attempt during a conversation with Elon Musk on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The incident, which took place at a rally in Pennsylvania, left Trump with a bullet wound to the ear. He credited his survival to divine intervention, stating that the event strengthened his faith in God. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by Secret Service agents after wounding two rally-goers and killing another.

The interview, which drew over a million listeners, was delayed by over 30 minutes due to a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack that disrupted the live broadcast. Musk, the CEO of X, attributed the technical difficulties to this cyber attack. Despite the interruptions, the conversation proceeded, covering topics such as the assassination attempt and Trump's plans for a potential second term. The event highlighted the growing personal and professional rapport between Musk and Trump.
