Musk to attend Trump rally at site of attempted assassination

SUMMARY

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, confirmed that he will attend Donald Trump’s upcoming rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, this weekend. This rally marks Trump’s return to the location where he survived an assassination attempt in July. During the incident, a gunman’s bullet grazed Trump’s ear, leading to the deaths of the assailant and one attendee, with two others injured. The shooting occurred just days before the Republican National Convention, where Trump secured the party’s nomination for the 2024 presidential election. Musk posted on X, formerly Twitter, confirming his attendance: “I will be there to support.” His support for Trump has grown significantly, with Musk endorsing him in July following the assassination attempt. Musk’s involvement has expanded beyond verbal support—he helped launch a pro-Trump Super PAC, America PAC, which has been instrumental in GOP voter mobilization efforts.
