Elon Musk to Support Trump at Rally in Butler
Elon Musk announced his plan to attend Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, highlighting Musk's endorsement of Trump, following his survival from a past assassination attempt. This event underscores Musk's political alignment amidst a tight race against Kamala Harris.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, confirmed late Thursday his intention to attend Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. This visit marks the former president's return to the town where he survived an assassination attempt in July.
Musk publically endorsed Trump, praising him as 'tough,' and has shifted towards right-wing politics. The rally, scheduled for October 5, will occur at the site of the prior attack where Trump sustained a minor injury.
Both incidents signal high stakes leading up to the November 5 election, where Trump faces Democrat Kamala Harris in a closely contested presidential race according to recent polls.
