Musk opened the conversation by asking Trump about the assassination attempt, which took place last month during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Notably, the tech entrepreneur publicly endorsed Trump following the shooting and suggested on Monday that Trump&#8217;s reaction in the face of fire had a lot to do with that decision. 
&#8220;You can&#8217;t fake bravery under such circumstances,&#8221; Musk <a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/1823175838944366873">told</a> the former president. &#8220;The courage is instinctual or it is not;  it&#8217;s not a rehearsed action. I think a lot of people admire your courage under fire there.&#8221;

As Trump turned his head to look at a projected slide on illegal immigration, bullets zipped by his head. Trump quipped, &#8220;Illegal immigration saved my life!&#8221;
“The incredible thing though &#8212; when you talk about the odds,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;I say [it was] an act of God. It&#8217;s a miracle that it happened and I&#8217;m honored by it.&#8221;
Trump also went after Harris and the Democrats for what he called a “<a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/1823169576126775319">coup</a>” against Biden and took a swipe at Harris for largely refusing to take questions from reporters since she became the Democrat nominee. 
&#8220;By the way, you think Biden could do this interview?&#8221; he <a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/1823179658675798066">said</a> to Musk. &#8220;Do you think that Kamala could do this interview?&#8221;
&#8220;No, they could not,&#8221; Musk responded. 
&#8220;It&#8217;s pretty sad when you think that somebody that does this for a living can&#8217;t answer a question or is afraid to do an interview,&#8221; Trump said.
