The event took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of an attempted assassination of Trump in July.

Dark MAGA Meme Coin Jumps 227%

Musk, the owner of social media platform X, arrived at the rally wearing a black blazer, an “Occupy Mars” shirt, and a black MAGA hat. His appearance marked an important moment in his growing political involvement in the impending US November elections.

Observers noted Musk’s attendance at the rally highlights his strengthening ties with Trump. Trump previously mentioned that he would appoint Musk to head a government efficiency commission if re-elected. Meanwhile, Musk has emerged as a prominent Trump supporter, even hosting the former president on a live X Space session in August.

At the rally, Musk encouraged the crowd to register and vote in November, calling it “the most important election of this lifetime.” He stressed the urgency by urging attendees to get others involved in the voting process.
