BREAKING: Elon Musk to attend Oct 5 Trump rally in Butler, PA

On July 13th, The 45th president narrowly escaped a fatal shot, taking a bullet to the ear instead during a Butler rally. It happened just as he turned for a moment to glance at a screen displaying data on illegal immigration. One man lost his life protecting his family from the gunfire, while two others were injured and taken to the hospital.

"President Trump’s return to Butler will mark his first visit to the site of the attack since he was struck by an assassin’s bullet on July 13th—but was saved in what the world has recognized as an act of divine providence," the campaign said in a previous press release.

"President Trump’s return to Butler will stand as a tribute to the American spirit. In America, we do not let monsters like that evil assassin have the last word. Every time our nation is struck by attack or hardship, we rally, we persevere, and we prevail. When terrorists knocked down our towering skyscrapers, we rebuilt taller. When our communities are ravaged by fire, storm, or natural disaster, we pull together and come back stronger. And when a shooter attacked our democracy and tried to end this movement, President Trump will return to the site, joined by tens of thousands of proud citizens, and together, they will celebrate a unifying vision for America’s future in an event like the world has never seen before.

"After not one, but two attempts on his life in the past nine weeks, President Trump is more determined than ever to see his mission through to the end. In that Butler field on July 13th, he took a bullet for democracy—and on November 5th, he is going to save our democracy. With the help of the amazing people of Pennsylvania and citizens all across our land, we will make America safer, stronger, freer, and greater than ever before."

In the weeks following the initial assassination attempt, numerous Secret Service lapses from that day have come to light. On Tuesday, a Senate committee report revealed that the Secret Service was aware for 27 minutes of a "suspicious person with a rangefinder near" the building from which Thomas Crooks eventually fired, yet failed to alert anyone to remove Trump from the stage.

Musk publicly endorsed Donald Trump for the presidency after Trump survived the attempt on his life. Musk, the billionaire tech mogul known for his revolutionary impact across various sectors, especially in space exploration, has argued that a Trump presidency is necessary to save America as we know it.
