In a surprise appearance at a rally for former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, billionaire Elon Musk donned a black “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) hat and made an impassioned plea for Pennsylvanians to vote for Trump in the upcoming election, calling it “the most important election in our lifetime.”

“We had one president who couldn’t climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist-pumping after getting shot,” Musk said.

He praised Trump’s composure following the July assassination attempt, during which Trump and two of his supporters were injured, and one person was killed by a gunman.

“The true test of someone’s character is how they behave under fire,” he said.

Musk declared to the crowd, “I’m not just MAGA, I’m dark MAGA,” which was met with loud cheers.

His speech focused on urging supporters to rally others to vote, stressing the importance of voter turnout in battleground states like Pennsylvania. He warned that if Trump does not win the upcoming election, “it will be the last election.”

Musk also touched on broader political themes, expressing concern over the erosion of civil liberties. “The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms,” he asserted, while criticizing recent voter ID laws. Musk went on to argue that free speech is essential for a functioning democracy, stating, “If people don’t know the truth, how can they make an informed vote? You must have free speech in order to have democracy.”

In a call to action, Musk implored attendees to register to vote and ensure their friends and family did the same, emphasizing the urgency with only “48 hours left to register to vote in Georgia and Arizona.” He concluded with a stark warning: “If they don’t vote, this will be the last election.”
