The billionaire participated in a Republican rally for the first time after publicly supporting him in July
The owner of X (former Twitter) and Tesla, Elon Musk, stated that Donald Trump (Republican Party) is the only candidate capable of “preserve democracy” in the United States.
The billionaire made the statements on Saturday (October 5, 2024) during a Republican rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The location was the same location where Trump was shot on July 13.
Wearing a cap with the slogan “Make America Great Again”a phrase used in the Trump campaign that means, in Portuguese, “Make America Great Again”the billionaire encouraged people to vote. In the USA, voting is not mandatory like in Brazil.
Musk stated that the November 5th election would be “the last” if the Republican doesn’t win. “President Trump needs to win [as eleições] to preserve the Constitution”he declared.
The X owner also described Trump as a defender of free speech, saying Democrats want to take away Americans’ rights. “[Eles] They want to take away your right to bear arms, they want to take away your right to vote, effectively”he told supporters present at the rally.
This was the first time that Musk participated in a Trump campaign event after publicly supporting him in July, shortly after the shooting. The billionaire has already interviewed the former president and could win a position in the US government if the Republican wins this year’s presidential elections.
Musk also created the so-called “America PAC”an electoral super fund that, according to North American newspapers, allocates money to Trump’s campaign and seeks to boost the Republican in “swing states”or pendulum states. The term refers to states without clear party allegiance.
The initiative is being investigated in Michigan because of possible violations of privacy and transparency laws in the state.
