Billionaire Elon Musk on Saturday called the Republican presidential candidate the only candidate who will “preserve democracy in America.” “As you can see, I’m not just MAGA – I’m Dark MAGA” – said Elon Musk, whose words were quoted by the Associated Press.
Musk has created a super PAC (political action committee) that supports the Republican candidate, who in the last months of the campaign devotes significant resources to vote-gathering activities. Trump has said that if he regains the White House, he will put Musk in charge of the Government Efficiency Commission.

Before a huge crowd, Musk sought to portray Trump as a champion of free speech, arguing that Democrats want to “take away your free speech, they want to take away your right to bear arms, they want to effectively take away your fight to vote.” Musk also criticized California’s efforts to impose a voter ID ban.

Saturday’s rally was held in the same location where a gunman’s bullets pierced Trump’s right ear and killed his supporter, Corey Comperatore. Many people were injured as a result of the shooting.
Several members of the Comperatore family, as well as other participants and rescuers from the July rally, returned to the site Saturday. The former president was also joined by his running mate, Republican senator from Ohio JD Vance (upcoming vice president), son Eric Trump, daughter-in-law and RNC co-chair Lara Trump, as well as lawmakers and sheriffs from Pennsylvania.
