The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, main shareholder of Tesla, SpaceX, the social network , will take place this Saturday in Butler (Pennsylvania). Trump is campaigning again in exactly the same place where he suffered an assassination attempt last July from which he emerged with minor injuries. His campaign has begun sending messages that use Elon Musk as a teaser.
At the Republican convention last July, Trump recounted in some detail what happened, saying it would be the only time. “I will tell you what happened, and you will never hear it from me a second time, because it is too painful to tell,” he said then. The former president seems to have overcome that pain because he has incorporated the attack into the routine of his rallies and has also decided to return to the scene of the crime in a campaign event in the State that he presents as the most decisive in the elections on November 5. .
“I’ll be there to support!” Elon Musk tweeted. It will be the first time that the South African billionaire appears publicly at a campaign event for the former president since he asked for the vote for him, precisely after that attack. “I fully support President Trump and hope for his quick recovery,” he wrote then.
Musk has already participated in a friendly conversation with the former president (presented as an interview), he is a prominent donor to his campaign and an enthusiastic activist through the social network X, which he owns and where he has 200 million followers. There he frequently spreads hoaxes, falsehoods and conspiracy theories common among the extreme right, always to attack Democrats and Kamala Harris and defend Republicans and Donald Trump.
The former president announced at an event in New York a month ago that, if he wins the election, he would put Musk at the head of a commission “charged with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for reforms.” drastic.” “Elon, since he is not very busy, has agreed to head that task force,” added Trump, who praised the billionaire as “the biggest cutter.” “I look forward to serving the United States if the opportunity presents itself. “I don’t need a salary, or title, or recognition,” Musk then tweeted, linking the news that Trump would count on him.
One of the unknowns is whether, with Musk in front, Trump will unleash his usual tirade at rallies about the supposed uselessness of electric cars and how support for that sector endangers the American industry. Tesla, led by Musk, is the world leader in manufacturing and sales of electric cars.
Various guests
Several members of the family of Corey Comperatore, who was shot dead by the shooter who attacked Trump at the July rally, as well as other attendees and first responders present at that event, will also attend this Saturday’s rally as guests, according to a statement. sent by the campaign. Also joining Trump will be his vice presidential candidate, Ohio Republican Senator JD Vance; his son, Eric Trump, his daughter-in-law and co-chair of the Republican National Committee, Lara Trump, and several Pennsylvania legislators and sheriffs, according to the note.
In it, Musk appears as another guest, without clarifying whether he will intervene from the stage at the rally or will limit himself to attending it. In text messages sent by the campaign, it is used as a hook: “Join Elon Musk and Donald Trump at tomorrow’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania,” said one sent this Friday.
“After not one, but two attempts on his life in the last nine weeks, President Trump is more determined than ever to see his mission through to the end. In that Butler field, on July 13 he took a bullet for democracy, and on November 5 he is going to save our democracy. “With the help of the incredible people of Pennsylvania and citizens across our country, we will make America safer, stronger, freer and greater than ever,” reads the Republican statement about the event.
