Elon Musk said on Oct. 3 that he will attend former President Donald Trump’s upcoming rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“I will be there to support!” Musk wrote on X, the social media platform that he mostly owns.
Trump has a rally scheduled for Saturday at the Butler Farm Show, where he was struck by a bullet during an event in July.
Authorities say Thomas Crooks, who was shot dead by a U.S. Secret Service agent, attempted to assassinate Trump.
About 30 minutes later, Musk shared video footage of Trump rising to his feet and holding a fist up after surviving the attempted assassination. Musk said he endorsed the former president.
“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk wrote at the time. “The martyr lived. Last time America had a candidate this tough was Theodore Roosevelt,” he wrote in a follow-up post.
The business mogul, who is also CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, said in another post on Thursday that backing Trump has become “essential to saving America!”
Musk’s posts frequently support Trump and Republicans while denigrating Vice President Kamala Harris and members of the Democratic Party.
Trump welcomed Musk’s endorsement at the time and said in a September speech that, if elected, he would, on Musk’s advice, create a government efficiency commission tasked with improving government operations.
The exact security protocols in place for Trump’s next Butler rally have not been disclosed but the U.S. Secret Service says it is prepared.
A spokesman told The Epoch Times in an email that the agency has, since the attempted assassination attempt, “made comprehensive changes and enhancements to our communications capabilities, resourcing, and protective operations.” Trump, he said, is receiving heightened protection.
The agency has said previously that Trump is receiving the same level of protection as President Joe Biden and Harris in the wake of the assassination attempt by Crooks and another apparent attempt by a man at a golf course in Florida.
“Regarding the October 5th event in Butler, PA, we are coordinating closely with the Pennsylvania State Police as well as local law enforcement in and around Butler Township. We are also leveraging other federal security resources to expand personnel and technology,” the spokesman said.
“To maintain the integrity of our protective operations, we cannot go into the specifics regarding the security enhancements. Residents in the area should expect traffic delays and an increased presence of state, local, and federal law enforcement as part of our efforts to ensure a safe and secure event.”
Trump told NewsNation this week that he’s “always worried” about safety at rallies and that “we have to get better security.”
Elon Musk and Trump are prime examples of the kind of rich successful people who earn and bring enough surplus wealth along with them, not to mention workable successful life examples, that enrich and motivate others into living lives based upon the premise of acquiring the strengthening personal concepts of SELF-governance, that lead to productive successful Lives. Great people discuss ideas, average people discuss events, but small Kamala type entitlement minded fools just discuss and attack their superiors, too unable to reflect the same earned successes that true men accomplish on their own, who bring more to the American table than just an appetite. If all men/women are created equal, why are the rich and successful raped financially as if they are enemies of the state, when the shist hits the fan turn out to be the only ones capable of rallying THE PEOPLE to do the right thing for the country, and not any particular party? Why are THE PEOPLE just fed up with this interfering butinski federal government who seeks to control our minds to the point we can’t even light our gas stoves to cook food? It is far past time that we start using the Tax codes to punish the weak, lazy, inept, corrupt law breaking life failures and give the strong and successful of ALL classes of society the rewards, lest their examples disappear and America becomes a MAMA instead of MAGA,,,, MAMA = Make America Mediocre Again. Time to bring in the adults.
I wonder.. WHERE are all the leftists who are rich and famous, standing up to GET AID TO those in north carolina/georgia etc.. WHERE are the telethons and the like?
Trump draws successful winners, Cackles draws failed (Cheney) RINO Losers… the choice is obvious.
Fools of a feather do flock together. Enter a new warped liberal definition of a political marriage between two people who share nothing in common, except their hatred of Trump. Common Hate is a poor excuse to base any kind of union or marriage upon, which usually it is the hatred of others that soon gets redirected to hatred of self where it originated all along in the first place. Those who try to succeed in life by walking over the murdered dead bodies of others, usually become victims of their own crimes of hate. Liz Cheney’s dead political career is now a case in point, with Kamala soon to follow.
In nature’s ability to direct survival to the fittest, Trump and Musk are American Eagles flying free, strong and unafraid, while Kamala and Joe have proven themselves wing wounded vultures who cannot hunt on their own without some government coffer to finance them, which just ends up empty, with the American people the casualties of their crimes serving as Democrat party food fests of economic wealth redistribution, that only enhances themselves and their party while THE PEOPLE get financially bled out and left to either fend on their own, or become a Vulture themselves, feeding upon the life force expended wealth created by others, in mindless re-distribution from the worthy to the unworthy where it is the working wealth creating people of the country who end up suffering from their oppressive taxations, that get freely given away to illegal non-citizens, to what evil purpose is yet to be revealed. This will not end well if allowed to go on another 4 more years of failure and frustrations. “You can choose courage or you can choose comfort, but you cannot choose BOTH” Joe an Kamala are proven examples of what happens when your leaders chose comfort,,,,Trump/ Musk are examples of those who chose courage, even in the face of bullets and the walking shooting brain dead, with the willingness to be afraid, and still continue to act and do the right thing anyway. You won’t see them hiding in their basements, or running from the press.
