Elon Musk joins Donald Trump on stage during his election campaign in Pennsylvania's Butler

Billionaire businessman Elon Musk joined Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday for his election campaign as the former president returned to the venue of a rally where he was nearly assassinated in July.

Addressing his rally, Trump called his would-be assassin a "vicious monster".

He also invited Elon Musk on stage in Pennsylvania's Butler, saying he is an "incredible guy".

"As I was saying," Trump said as he started speaking behind bulletproof glass, pretending he was resuming the speech that was interrupted when he was hit in the ear by a bullet on July 13.

"Exactly 12 weeks ago this evening, on this very ground, a cold-blooded assassin aimed to silence me," he told thousands of his supporters.

Musk backed Trump strongly and took dig at President Joe Biden saying: "We had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another who is fist pumping after getting shot."

The gunman, who was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, had climbed a nearby rooftop with a direct line of sight to where Trump was speaking.

He was subsequently shot and killed by a Secret Service agent.

As blood dripped down his face, Trump raised a fist and shouted "fight, fight, fight" to his supporters, an image that had gone viral on social media.
