During a recent conversation with Tesla and SpaceX owner Elon Musk on the billionaire's social media platform, former President Donald Trump opened up about the assassination attempt made against him, describing the experience as 'not pleasant.'
When Musk inquired about what the shooting incident was like for him, Trump candidly replied, 'Not pleasant,' indicating the severity of the situation.
Recalling the moment of the attack, Trump shared, 'It was a hard hit. It was very, I guess you would say, surreal, but it wasn't surreal. You know, I was telling somebody, you have instances like this where you feel it's a surreal situation. And I never felt that way. I knew immediately that it was a bullet,' highlighting the immediate realization of the danger he was in.
Elon Musk, who expressed his support for Trump's presidential campaign, mentioned that one of the reasons for his endorsement was the former president's reaction to the assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Musk found Trump's response, particularly when he pumped his fists, to be 'incredibly inspiring.'
The conversation between Trump and Musk shed light on the harrowing experience of surviving an assassination attempt and the resilience displayed in the face of such adversity.
