Elon Musk, the richest man on earth and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, appeared alongside former President Donald Trump at a rally on this Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Musk, who also owns the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), made strong remarks about the upcoming US presidential election, saying that Trump is the only president who can “preserve democracy in America.”
Musk referred to himself as “Dark MAGA,” carrying a black hat with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan, strengthening his strong support for Trump. This rally for the US presidential election was the first time Musk attended one of Trump’s events, marking the growing relationship between the two as the election draws closer. Musk has also created a political action committee (PAC) to support Trump’s campaign and has been funding efforts to encourage voter turnout.
Trump has said that if re-elected in the US presidential election, he would appoint Musk to lead a commission to improve government efficiency. The two held a public conversation on X in August, where Trump focused on topics like immigration, reducing government regulations, and an assassination attempt against him in July. Musk warned that this could be “the last election” if Trump doesn’t win.
At the rally, Musk painted Trump as a defender of free speech, accusing Democrats of wanting to restrict freedoms, including speech, gun ownership, and voting rights. He also criticized a California proposal to ban voter ID requirements.
This rally took place at the same location where a gunman attempted to assassinate Trump in July. The shooting injured several people and killed one of Trump’s supporters, Corey Comperatore. First responders from the incident and Comperatore’s family members attended the rally. Other notable figures at the event included Trump’s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, and various family members and supporters.
