ALBAWABA - In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, American entrepreneur Elon Musk organized his first independent political event in favor of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Given that Musk has lately been more involved in political discourse, the event represents a big change for him.
Musk utilized the gathering, which was held in the conference hall of a nearby school, to encourage people to sign up for early voting. Musk's speech aimed to mobilize support for the Republican nominee, since Pennsylvania is a crucial swing state in the forthcoming election, where a tight race between Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris is expected.
Musk emphasized the significance of the U.S. Constitution in his speech, calling it the cornerstone that formed the nation. "The fundamental principles that have shaped America into what it is today are embodied in the U.S. Constitution. Musk said, "Anyone who opposes it is against the country, and to hell with them."
In addition, Musk emphasized the importance of the current election by addressing the crowd, "I wasn’t politically active in the past, but now I am because I believe the future of America and civilization is in jeopardy." He urged attendees to encourage their friends and family to register to vote.
Musk also discussed his political position with guests during a Q&A session after his address. Live streaming of the rally was available on Musk's social media account, X.
Musk showed his increasing support for Trump ahead of the 2024 election by attending a rally earlier this month on October 5.
