Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and X, has thrown his support behind former President Donald Trump’s upcoming rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The event, scheduled for July 13, 2024, holds a particular weight given Trump’s recent experiences, including a failed assassination attempt at his Florida golf club in September 2024.
Musk voiced his support through a post on X, responding to Trump’s own announcement. Trump shared an image of himself at a previous rally in Butler, accompanied by the text “I’m Coming Back To Butler!” He described the return visit to the site of the attempted assassination as “historic.”
Musk’s public endorsement of Trump carries significance, particularly as the former president is locked in a tight race for the 2024 presidency against Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump’s recent experiences, including the assassination attempts, have garnered significant media attention, with Musk and Trump even discussing these incidents in a widely-viewed interview.
This event serves as a reminder of the volatile political climate in the U.S., and Musk’s endorsement of Trump highlights the continuing influence of both figures within the political sphere.
