Trump, with Elon Musk, addresses thousands at failed assassination bid site

Former US president Donald Trump on Saturday returned to Butler, a city in Pennsylvania where he narrowly escaped an assassination bid 12 weeks ago, and addressed thousands of his supporters in this key battleground state, urging them to elect him as the next president of the United States. Joined by high-profile figures like Tesla owner Elon Musk and his running mate, Senator J D Vance, Trump (78) made a passionate plea to "defeat" Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate in the November 5 presidential poll. "We must stop her country-destroying regime, radical-left agenda once and for all. We cannot have it happen. So you must get out and you must vote," Trump said in Pennsylvania, which in this election cycle has emerged as a must-win situation for both candidates. Trump launched a scathing attack on Harris and accused her of being a failure on multiple fronts, including border security and economy. "She imposed a natural gas export ban on Pennsylvania, which is ...

Trump returns to site of Pennsylvania attack for rally with Vance, Musk

Former President Donald Trump plans to return Saturday to the site where a gunman tried to assassinate him in July, setting aside what are now near-constant worries for his physical safety in order to fulfil a promise really an obligation, he said recently to the people of Butler, Pennsylvania. I'll probably start off by saying, 'As I was saying ...' the Republican presidential nominee has joked, in a bit of black humour about a speech cut short when a bullet struck Trump's ear and he was whisked off stage fist aloft with blood dripping across his face. Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, also will be on hand at the Butler Farm Show grounds, as will billionaire Elon Musk, as the campaign elevates the headline-generating potential of his return with just 30 days to go in their tight campaign against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. The campaign is predicting tens of thousands of people will attend what is being pitched as a "tribute to th

X skirts Brazil ban and returns to some users with change to server access

Some Brazilian users reconnected with X on Wednesday despite the Supreme Court's recent nationwide ban, the result of the social network apparently changing the way its servers are accessed. The reunion may be short-lived, however. Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered X blocked nationwide on Aug 30 after months of tension with billionaire Elon Musk surrounding orders to take down accounts and the limits of free speech in Brazil. He also established fines on anyone using virtual private networks (VPN) to access the platform. That rendered X effectively inaccessible in the country until Wednesday, with AP journalists among those who had access. Experts examining X's IP addresses said there are indications that the company has begun routing users through the servers of Cloudflare, a content delivery network, en route to its own. "The service that Elon Musk's social network has started using works like a digital shield that protects the company's servers," said Pedro Diogenes, Latin ...
