Former US President Donald Trump discussed an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania. He described the experience as “not pleasant” while speaking live with Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter). The interview, called “No Limits” was delayed by a DDoS attack but lasted over two hours.
And when the interview finally took place, Trump talked about the day of his assassination attempt.
“I knew immediately it was a bullet, I knew it was near my ear,” Trump told Elon Musk, “I heard people shouting, ‘Bullets, bullets.’”
“We had bullets flying right over my head after I went down. So I’m glad I went down. The bigger miracle was that I was looking in the exact direction of (Crooks).” Trump added.
Musk has been supportive of Donald Trump’s campaign for his second term as US president.
Trump recalled hearing bullets near his ear and praised the Secret Service for their quick response. He also honored Corey Comperatore, a supporter who died in the attack. He called him a “great Trumper”.
Elon Musk, who endorsed Trump, praised his toughness.
“There are some real tough characters out there.” Musk said. “And if they don’t think the American president is tough, they will do what they want to do.”
The conversation focused on the attack, illegal immigration, and Trump’s plans to reduce government regulations.
Donald Trump also made a return to X, and he announced it through a tweet saying,
“Thank you Elon Musk, I’m back!”
What is the DDOS attack? Which was witnessed during live conversation between Donald Trump and Elon Musk
A DDoS attack is a cybercrime where attackers flood a server with too much internet traffic. This prevents users from accessing the server. Multiple compromised computers are used to generate this traffic, disrupting normal online services.
“There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on 𝕏. Working on shutting it down. Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later.” Musk confirmed in a tweet.
