Following an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, entrepreneur Elon Musk has expressed interest in creating an Iron Man-style suit of armor for himself. The incident occurred during a rally in Pennsylvania, where a gunman, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire. Trump sustained a minor injury to his ear and was quickly attended to by security personnel.
Musk, who publicly supported Trump post the attack, shared on social media about facing personal threats and attempts on his life. He hinted at the need for enhanced security measures, mentioning that two individuals had previously tried to harm him in the past eight months near Tesla HQ in Texas.
In response to a suggestion from a social media user, Musk mused about the possibility of constructing a protective suit akin to the one worn by the fictional character Iron Man. He emphasized the precarious nature of the current times, alluding to the rising risks faced by public figures.
Trump, in a statement released through his spokesperson, expressed gratitude towards the swift response of law enforcement following the shooting. He extended condolences to the family of the deceased rally attendee and the injured individual. Trump also shared his account of the incident, detailing the moment he realized he had been shot and the subsequent medical attention he received.
Trump later took to his Truth Social platform to address the incident, emphasizing the gravity of such violence occurring in the country. He underscored the need for unity and vigilance in the face of such threats, concluding with a patriotic message of resilience and faith in America.
