'Prez Trump Must Win to Preserve Constitution Or Else...': Musk's Prediction at Pennsylvania Rally
Elon Musk, who participated in Donald Trump's Pennsylvania rally, has predicted that if Trump doesn't win, this may be the last election. Here's what he said...
Washington: The US Presidential Elections 2024 are less than a month away and the two nominees from Republican and Democrats, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris respectively are actively campaigning to garner support from the people. On Saturday, Trump returned to Pennsylvania for a rally, where he had escaped an assassination bid a few months ago. This rally was also attended by Tesla owner Elon Musk.
During this rally, Elon Musk has emphasised on the importance of Trump's win and has also predicted this election to be the last, if Donald Trump doesn't win.
'Prez Trump Must Win to Preserve Constitution Or Else...'
In his brief speech, Musk said this is a must-win situation for the country.
"President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America. This is a must-win situation. So I have one ask for everyone in the audience, everyone who watches this video, everyone in the livestream. This one request is very important. Register to vote. And get everyone you know and everyone you do not know, drag them to register to vote.... Then make sure they actually do vote. If they do not, this will be the last election. That is my prediction," he said.
Musk said the true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire. "We had one president who could not climb a flight of stairs. Another who was fist pumping after getting shot. Fight, fight, fight. Blood coming down the face. America is the home of the brave. There is no truer test than courage under fire. So who do you want representing America?" he asked the audience.
"This election, I think it is the most important election of our lifetime. This is no ordinary election. The other side wants 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. You have got 14 states now that do not require voter ID. California, where I used to live, just passed a law banning voter ID for voting. I still cannot believe that is real. How are you supposed to have a proper election if there is no ID?" he asked.
Former US president Donald Trump on Saturday returned to Butler, a city in Pennsylvania where he narrowly escaped an assassination bid 12 weeks ago, and addressed thousands of his supporters in this key battleground state, urging them to elect him as the next president of the United States. Joined by high-profile figures like Tesla owner Elon Musk and his running mate, Senator J D Vance, Trump (78) made a passionate plea to "defeat" Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate in the November 5 presidential poll.
