Wearing a black MAGA hat and a bold “Occupy Mars” shirt, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a champion of free speech, electrified the stage at Trump’s monumental return to Butler, Pennsylvania—just 12 weeks after Trump survived an attempt on his life by Thomas Crooks.

Trump had already energized the crowd, but the excitement skyrocketed as he invited Musk on stage, declaring, “His name is Elon Musk! He saved free speech. He created so many great things. Come on up here, Elon.”

Musk, filled with enthusiasm, practically leapt for joy as Trump showered him with praise, commending his groundbreaking innovations. Trump highlighted Tesla, America’s first major car company in generations, and SpaceX, the company that brought American astronauts back into space, as some of Musk’s greatest achievements.

Once on stage, Musk took aim at the Biden-Harris administration with unapologetic force. “The true test of character is how you act under fire,” Musk began.

“We’ve had one president who couldn’t climb stairs, and another who was fist-pumping after being shot, with blood running down his face. America is the land of the brave, and there’s no better measure of courage than standing strong under fire,” Musk declared, rallying the crowd in support of Trump’s vision for a stronger America.
