Elon Musk has confirmed his attendance at an upcoming rally being held by Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the same location where the former president survived an assassination attempt. Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, expressed his support for Trump in a post on his social platform X, stating, “I will be there to support!” in response to Trump’s announcement about the event.

Musk has been a major supporter of Trump’s presidential campaign, with his super PAC investing $71 million in canvassing and field operations to mobilize voters. The rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, is scheduled to take place just one month before Election Day, marking a significant moment in Trump’s re-election campaign.
Notably, the previous rally in July at the same location was marred by a tragic incident where a gunman targeted Trump, resulting in the death of firefighter Corey Comperatore. Despite the chaos, the image of a defiant Trump standing strong after the shooting has become a symbol of resilience within his campaign.
