Multi-billionaire Elon Musk recently appeared alongside former President Trump during his return to Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of the failed assassination attempt in mid-July. Musk, who formally endorsed Trump after he was nearly killed when a bullet grazed his ear, sounded off on President Joe Biden while stressing the need for Americans to get out and vote Republican.
Footage from the event shows the Republican presidential candidate introducing Musk, who walked out onstage, jumping up and down out of exuberant excitement to be speaking at a Trump rally. Musk was wearing a “Dark MAGA” hat and a t-shirt stating, “Occupy Mars.” “The true test of someone’s character is how they behave under fire,” the Tesla founder said.
Musk then took a shot at Biden. “We had one president who couldn’t climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist pumping after getting shot,” he said, ostensibly referring to Biden’s past struggles walking up the stairs of Air Force One while praising Trump’s bravery after being shot. “America is the home of the brave, and there’s no truer test than courage under fire, so who do you want representing America?” he asked the crowd.
The crowd erupted after this statement, and attendees could be seen waving signs that read “Never Surrender” and “Fight, Fight, Fight” in the grandstands behind Musk. The multi-company CEO proceeded to highlight the importance of the upcoming election, which is less than a month away. Musk claimed the Democratic Party is seeking to limit the rights of American citizens, including voting, private firearm ownership, and freedom of speech.
