On October 5, 2024, Elon Musk made a notable appearance at Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. This was Musk's first public event with Trump since he endorsed him after an assassination attempt on the former president in July.

Musk entered the stage with a lot of energy, jumping and waving his arms. He wore an 'Occupy Mars' t-shirt under a blazer and a black 'Make America Great Again' cap. He humorously called himself "dark MAGA," showing a stronger support for Trump.

While on stage, Musk led the crowd in chants of "Fight! Fight! Fight!"—a phrase Trump had used after the assassination attempt. Musk warned that if Trump lost, it could be "the last election" in America, encouraging everyone to register and vote.
