Elon Musk was quick to show his support for Donald Trump after the former president was shot at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The incident occurred around 6:10 pm on Saturday, when Trump was giving a speech and suddenly there were loud bangs. He was immediately taken off the stage and was seen with blood on his face when he came back. Musk wasted no time in posting a video of Trump getting back on his feet and pumping his fist in the air, along with a message saying, "I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his speedy recovery."
In another post, Musk compared Trump's toughness to that of Theodore Roosevelt, stating that the last time America had a candidate this strong was during Roosevelt's time. The technology mogul also expressed his disappointment with the security at the rally, making a series of posts condemning their actions.
Unfortunately, two people, including the suspected gunman, lost their lives in the incident. US President Joe Biden also condemned the attack in a brief press conference, calling it "sick." He expressed his relief that Trump was safe and added that he was praying for him and his family. He also urged the nation to unite and condemn such acts of violence.
The shooting was also condemned by various vice-presidential hopefuls, family members, and Trump's rivals. His spokesperson, Steven Cheung, reassured the public that Trump was doing fine and thanked the law enforcement and first responders for their quick action. The Secret Service also confirmed that Trump was safe and an investigation was underway.
Former president Barack Obama also spoke out against the attack, stating that there is no place for political violence in a democracy. He, along with his wife Michelle, wished Trump a speedy recovery. Trump's daughter Ivanka took to Instagram to thank everyone for their love and prayers and added that she loves her father today and always.
Donald Trump Jr. also shared a photo of his father, with his fist raised and a bloody face, in front of an American flag. He stated that his father will never stop fighting to save America. Various political figures, including North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and Ohio Senator JD Vance, also expressed their concern for Trump's safety.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, condemned the violence and stated that it has no place in Pennsylvania or the United States. President Joe Biden was briefed on the situation but has not yet issued a statement. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd also released statements, expressing their shock and relief that Trump was safe.
As the investigation into the shooting continues, our thoughts are with Trump, his family, and all those affected by this senseless act of violence.
