Billionaire Elon Musk, a well-known supporter of Donald Trump, has ramped up his political involvement, expressing that it may increase his risk of assassination. At a recent rally in Pennsylvania, Musk shared his fears about the dangers tied to his political actions, stating, “I’m increasing my risk of being assassinated by engaging in politics.” He emphasized that the stakes are too high for him to remain quiet, alleging that mainstream media has fueled violence against him and Trump through “relentless hit pieces” on social media.
Musk's support for Trump is substantial, with over $70 million contributed to Trump's campaign through his political action committee (PAC), America PAC. This organization aims to mobilize voters in critical battleground states, especially Pennsylvania, which Musk considers vital for Trump’s re-election. Recently, he introduced an initiative offering $1 million daily to encourage voter participation among those who sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution.
During a town hall event in Folsom, Pennsylvania, Musk urged attendees to register and vote early, declaring that America’s future is at stake. His comments elicited both enthusiasm and skepticism from the audience, with some questioning the focus on early voting, a method Trump has previously criticized. Musk’s PAC aims not only to increase voter turnout but also to engage those who usually support Trump but don’t consistently vote.
In a unique twist, Musk's strategy includes a lottery-style giveaway for registered voters who endorse his pro-constitution petition. This initiative is part of a broader effort to rally support for Trump as the election draws nearer. Musk's political activities have gained attention due to his wealth and his considerable influence on social media platforms like X, where he boasts a following of over 200 million.
