For Musk, a man who’s spent the better part of the last two decades shooting rockets into space, electrifying the world’s highways with Teslas, and casually buying Twitter (now X), this move into high-stakes campaign financing marks yet another bold venture into uncharted territory. But as the rally crowd erupted into cheers, it became clear: when Elon Musk says “jump,” MAGA nation asks, “How high?”
The Pennsylvania rally, held at the very location where Trump survived an assassination attempt in July, was already charged with emotion. But when Musk stepped on stage—donning a black “Make America Great Again” cap with the ominous addition of Dark MAGA stitched in blood red—the energy hit a fever pitch.
“Donald Trump is the last chance to preserve democracy in America,” Musk proclaimed, his voice echoing through the loudspeakers. “And after long nights of reflection in my Tesla-powered sleep pod, I’ve realized that nothing says ‘preserve democracy’ like $5 billion.”
