“Mr. Trump must win to preserve the constitution. He must win to protect democracy in America,” billionaire Elon Musk told supporters at a campaign event of former President Donald Trump October 5 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The Tesla and SpaceX boss first publicly announced his support for Mr. Trump on the day Mr. Trump was unsuccessfully assassinated at an outdoor campaign event also in Pennsylvania in mid-July.
“The true test of someone’s character is how they behave under fire, and we have a president who can’t climb stairs and another president who swings his fist after being shot,” he said. Musk said when implicitly mentioning that current President Joe Biden tripped while boarding a plane and that Mr. Trump raised his fist when he was unsuccessfully assassinated.

Billionaire Musk’s appearance at Mr. Trump’s campaign event is expected to help the Republican presidential candidate attract more support from voters. When Mr. Musk walked on stage, thousands of people stood up and cheered.
Billionaire Musk has played a huge role in helping Mr. Trump by praising him on social networks and attacking Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Yesterday, he said, a Democratic victory could make this year’s election “the last one.”
For his part, Mr. Trump once said he would consider appointing billionaire Musk to hold a government position if he is re-elected.
