Former US President Donald Trump was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, leaving him bleeding from the ear. Video footage captured the chaos as agents rushed to protect Trump, who later stood defiantly with blood streaking down his face.

Musk’s Reaction: Rethinking Security

In the aftermath of the shooting, Elon Musk took to social media, discussing his concerns about security. “Maybe it’s time to build that flying metal suit of armor,” Musk tweeted in response to a user’s suggestion to beef up his protection.

A Full-Throated Endorsement

Following the incident, Musk declared his full support for Trump, marking a shift from his previously neutral stance. “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk wrote on X. He has also made a significant donation to America PAC, aimed at supporting Trump’s 2024 campaign.

Concerns Over Security Competence

Musk criticized the Secret Service’s handling of the situation, calling for leadership changes. “Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate. Either way, the SS leadership must resign,” Musk commented on X.

Historical Ties to Trump

Musk revealed his longstanding sympathies for Trump, referencing an event from 2011 where he felt Trump was unfairly targeted by then-President Obama. This sentiment, combined with recent events, has solidified Musk’s support for Trump’s 2024 run.
