The conversation was sparked by Fridman's mention of a harrowing assassination attempt on Trump, a topic Musk had previously addressed on social media platforms.
According to Gateway Pundit, Musk lauded Trump's bravery in the face of the assassination attempt, remarking, “He just got shot. He’s got blood streaming down his face, and he’s fist-pumping, saying, ‘Fight.’ That’s impressive.” It's worth noting that Musk publicly backed President Trump approximately half an hour after the latter was targeted in an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
