On Saturday, Elon Musk stepped onto the stage of Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. This wasn't just a regular speech; it was a show of political alignment that caught many by surprise. Musk, who heads SpaceX, made his right-wing leanings clear when he accused Democrats of trying to undermine Republicans' voting rights. He even went as far as saying Trump "must win" the upcoming election in November.

Since taking over X (a social media platform), Musk has been promoting conservative accounts, sometimes even those with extremist views. He stirred controversy when he implied that Biden and Kamala Harris were safe from assassination attempts, while lamenting the two attempts on Trump's life. At the rally, he took a jab at President Joe Biden's health, praising Trump for his bravery in the face of danger.

"The real test of someone’s character is how they behave under fire," Musk said. "We had one president who couldn’t climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist-pumping after getting shot. Who do you want representing America?" It's important to note that Biden isn't running for re-election; he left the race due to a poor debate performance.

Trump, known for his blunt style, quickly dismissed Musk’s mention of Starlink, Musk's satellite-based internet service, with an indifferent "whatever the hell that is."
