ALBAWABA – Elon Musk, the American billionaire, and CEO of Tesla, is thinking of developing a flying metal suit of armor after former US president Donald Trump was slightly injured by a failed assassination attempt while attending a rally event in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Trump’s health state is good as he was slightly injured in his right ear after a man named Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, opened fire targeting the Republican candidate. The suspected assassinator was killed as well as one person who was in the Trump rally.
Musk on his side commented on the failed assassination attempt by saying that "he wishes a speedy recovery for President Trump and that he completely supports the latter."

Musk wants to build a flying metal suit of armor
On Sunday, Musk replied to a post on X after a person called Whole Mars Catalog asked him to increase his security too after the Trump incident.
Musk said that he is thinking of building a new flying metal suit to serve as an armor. He said: "Maybe it's time to build that flying metal suit of armor."
Musk was subjected twice to failed assassination attempts
an X user called Ian Miles Cheong called on Elon Musk and asked him to maximize his protection standards following what happened with Donald Trump.
Musk shocked fans and replied to the post saying that he faced two separate assassination attempts in the past 8 months.
Ian Miles Cheong's posted: "Please, please triple your protection. If they can come for Trump they will also come for you. @elonmusk."
Musk left a comment: "Dangerous times ahead. Two people (separate occasions) have already tried to kill me in the past 8 months. They were arrested with guns about 20 mins drive from Tesla HQ in Texas."
Cheong then said: "It’s real. We are now in a war," and Musk replied: "There were serious lapses by Secret Service here. How is someone with a rifle getting into the event unseen?"
