Elon Musk has announced that he will attend Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The rally will take place on Saturday, October 5, marking Donald Trump’s return to the city, where he faced an assassination attempt in July.

“I will be there to support him!” Musk wrote in response to a post by Trump on X (formerly Twitter), which stated he would return to Butler tomorrow.

Musk, the CEO of Tesla and owner of X, referred to the Republican presidential candidate as a “tough nut” and officially offered his support following the attempt on Trump’s life on July 13, thus signaling his backing of the Republicans.

Location of the Attack at the Rally

The campaign rally on October 5 will be held at the same location where Trump was injured in his right ear by a bullet, while another attendee lost their life due to the gunman’s fire.

The gunman was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, who was shot dead by a sniper from the U.S. Secret Service.

In September, the former president survived a second assassination attempt when another armed individual hid for nearly 12 hours undetected at a Trump-owned golf course in Florida.

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Trump will face off in the presidential election on November 5, with polls showing them neck and neck in critical states.
