Donald Trump's joking about the failed attempt on his life as he returns to the scene of the crime ... and he's got Elon Musk with him this time.

The Republican candidate is back in Butler, PA for a rally Saturday ... only 12 weeks after being shot in the ear at the very same podium as the botched assassination attempt.

Trump took the stage from behind bulletproof glass and drew a laugh when he started his speech like this ... "As I was saying." He then pointed to the famous border-crossing chart he said helped save his life back in July when Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on him from a nearby rooftop.

DT says the shooter failed to silence him and the MAGA movement ... and folks in the crowd were waving "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" signs in a nod to Donald's iconic moment from after the shooting.

Elon, who is endorsing Trump, is in attendance ... as is Trump's running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.

Trump's on the record saying he's back in Butler to finish his rally ... and the "as I was saying" crack was delivered as only Trump could.

'Poltergeist' House Coming Soon, Airbnb ... Replicating Movie Set!!!

The famed haunted house from "Poltergeist" is getting revived following a recent sale ... and it's coming back as a short term rental.

Christian Melgar and Zo Amilee with Coldwell Banker Realty Westlake Village tell TMZ ... the Simi Valley, CA house sold Friday for $1.28 million, which was $100,000 over the asking price.

We're told the new owner is an investor from Los Gatos, CA ... and they are planning to turn the home into an Airbnb that will replicate the actual "Poltergeist" film set.

In other words, each room will have furniture and décor that makes the space look just how it looked in the film.

Halloween is right around the corner and horror movie buffs would line up to rent the place, but we're told the home won't be ready in time ... because the owner wants to make it perfect and not rush things.

So, maybe next year folks.

As we reported ... the home -- which served as the central location in the Steven Spielberg-scripted supernatural flick -- went on the market back in August, the first time in 45 years the home had been listed.

The 2,373 square foot home includes 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a large swimming pool and a jacuzzi.
