Elon Musk said he would attend a rally held by Donald Trump on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of the first assassination attempt against the former president.
Posting on his social platform X late Thursday New York time, the billionaire wrote, “I’ll be there to support you!” This was in response to a post about the Republican presidential candidate’s return to the field.
I’ll be there to support you too! https://t.co/nokR0g3dn1

Musk, the chief executive of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, has already poured millions of dollars into Trump’s third bid for the White House, and he has launched a super political action committee. He began spending $71 million primarily on election campaigns and field activities to win votes.
Trump’s rally at an amusement park in Butler, Pennsylvania, comes exactly one month before Election Day. At a rally there in July, a gunman’s bullet grazed his ear. The gunman killed firefighter Corey Comperatore and seriously injured two others while protecting his family.
An image of a bloodied President Trump standing up after the shooting, fist pumping, and mouthing “Fight!” became one of the campaign’s most iconic images, appearing on T-shirts, vehicles, and spread across social media.
