<p>Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said during a conversation with X owner Elon Musk on Monday night that surviving an assassination attempt last month increased his faith and belief in God.</p>
<p>Trump made the remarks during an X Space that millions of people tuned into as he reflected on the shooting one month ago in Butler, Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>Trump said the moment that he was hit that he knew that he was struck by a bullet in the ear and that was one of the reasons that he dropped to the ground so quickly.</p>
<p>He said that the fact that he turned his head at the exact moment where the would be assassin took the shot should make those who don&#8217;t believe in God reconsider their beliefs.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a believer,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Now, I&#8217;m more of a believer.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">PRESIDENT TRUMP:</p>
<p>&#8220;I knew immediately that it was a bullet. I knew immediately that it was at the ear&#8230; For those people that don&#8217;t believe in God, I think we all have to start thinking about that.&#8221;<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TrumpOnX?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TrumpOnX</a><a href="https://t.co/RQeHNbxX5s">pic.twitter.com/RQeHNbxX5s</a></p>

<p>Several minutes later, Trump said that the fact that he turned his head to read a chart that was displayed at his rally was &#8220;an act of God&#8221; and &#8220;a miracle.&#8221;</p>
<p>The conversation between Musk and Trump was delayed by about half an hour after the event crashed following a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack.</p>
<p>“There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on 𝕏,” Musk posted on the site. “Working on shutting it down. Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later.”</p>
<p>Musk said that earlier in the day his team “tested the system with 8 million concurrent listeners.”</p>
