Trump Says He's Going Back To Butler, Site Of First Assassination Attempt — Elon Musk Chimes In, 'I'll Be There To Support'

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla and the owner of X, has voiced his support for an event, to be held at Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, involving former President Donald Trump.

What Happened: Musk shared a post from Trump in which the ex-president posted an image of him at a rally in Butler shortly after having been shot at. The image had text that read “I’m Coming Back To Butler!”

Trump called his upcoming visit to the site of the July 13 assassination attempt “historic.”

It’s worth noting that Trump was the target of a failed assassination attempt at his Florida golf club on Sept. 15, 2024, as well.

In response to Trump’s post on X, Musk wrote, “I will be there to support!”
