Elon Musk Will Join Trump As He Returns To Scene Of July 13th Shooting

Billionaire entrepreneur and X owner Elon Musk announced late on Thursday that he would attend former President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday — just short of three months after Trump was shot during a July 13 rally in the same location.

Trump had previously announced his intention to return to Butler — and to pay tribute to firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was shot and killed that day while trying to shield his family from gunfire — and shared a photo on Thursday as a reminder.

“BUTLER ON SATURDAY — HISTORIC!” Trump posted in all caps, adding a photo from just after the shooting that showed him standing on the stage — despite the efforts of Secret Service agents to rush him away — with his fist raised high and blood streaked across his face.

A short time later, Musk also shared Trump’s post, adding, “I will be there to support!”

“Oh my gosh. This is a game changer. See you there — we will be registering everyone to vote,” GOP activist Scott Presler commented.

Army Ranger veteran Sean Parnell, who was also at Trump’s ill-fated July rally at the same location, said he also planned to return for the event on Saturday.

“Indomitable. I will be there, back on that stage supporting Trump, the America First Movement & the amazing people of Pennsylvania. It’s going to be a very special day,” Parnell said.

“This is what leadership looks like. Trump returning to Butler will transform an attempted assassination by a left wing madman into a display of triumphant MAGA. This is America exceptionalism embodied,” TownHall communist John Nance added.

In addition to Musk, Trump will be hosting a number of guests at his return to Butler — including several of Comperatore’s family members, David Dutch (who was gravely injured during the July 13 rally), Dr. Jim Sweetland (7/13 rally attendee who served as a first responder when the shooting took place), and several others.
