Elon Musk Reveals His Own Assassination Attempts and Supports Trump

TapTechNews July 15th news, last weekend US presidential candidate Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, said that he himself had also experienced two assassination attempts in the recent few months.

Trump was shot in the ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last Saturday. Afterwards, Musk publicly expressed his expectations for Trump's 'quick recovery' and talked about his own experience of being attacked.

Musk wrote that in the past eight months, two men had separately tried to kill him, and they had both been captured. When caught, they were about 20 minutes' drive from Tesla's Super Factory in Austin, Texas, and were carrying guns.

TapTechNews noted that at Tesla's recent annual general meeting, when asked by a shareholder how to ensure his safety and how to take care of himself as a high-profile figure, Musk also mentioned this situation. He responded that he understood the shareholder's concern and again emphasized the severity of the current situation.

I mean, the situation is really a bit crazy now, Musk said. Roughly estimated, the possibility of a maniac trying to kill you is proportional to the number of maniacs who hear your name. Well, they often hear my name, so I think, 'Well, I'm definitely on their list'. Yes, in the past about seven months, there were indeed two maniacs who tried to kill me and others. So this is not just aimed at me. They didn't put forward any specific motives, they just wanted to kill, so I really need to be a little careful.

After Trump's attack, Musk officially announced his support for Trump to be the next US president and added that he believes that the last such tough candidate in the US was Theodore Roosevelt.
