Just In: FINAL PUSH Elon Musk holds free pro-Trump town hall to register swing state voters – attendees must sign two pledges before going… See More
ELON Musk is taking the stage to promote early voting in his latest push to score votes for Donald Trump.
The event is free, but the tech billionaire asked eventgoers to sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments if they wanted to attend.
Musk, 53, has become an ardent supporter of Trump and even visited the site in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump was grazed in the ear by a bullet during an assassination attempt on July 13.
At the follow-up rally in Butler on October 5, the X owner jumped up and down on stage, yelling, “Vote, vote, vote,” while wearing a black MAGA hat.
Musk warned rallygoers that Democrats” want to take away your freedom of speech.
“They want to take away your right to bear arms. They want to take away your right to vote effectively
Now, Musk is partnering with America PAC, a super political action committee to which he has donated more than $70 million, to host several events in Pennsylvania.
Announcing the events on Wednesday, Musk initially said attendees must show proof of having voted in Pennsylvania to get in for free.
But, that requirement was dropped from the website after several lawyers said it appeared to violate federal law against paying people to vote.
The event was scheduled to begin at 4 pm EST but was delayed for an undisclosed reason
Super PACs like Musk’s America PAC can raise and spend unlimited sums of money but are typically forbidden from coordinating their efforts with candidates they support.
The America PAC’s main objective is to help register voters in swing states and persuade them to vote for their candidate, and in Musk’s case, it is Trump.
Thursday’s town hall is the first of what Musk said could be as many as six similar events.
Three more are currently scheduled to take place in the battleground state of Pennslyvania, including Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and Pittsburg
X SPACES MELTDOWN
Musk’s August interview on X Spaces with the former president sent the internet into a meltdown after the platform struggled to broadcast the event to thousands of online listeners.
