Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, drew significant attention on Saturday at his first Donald Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, aligning himself with the former president as the 2024 election looms. Dressed in a black “Make America Great Again” cap and an “Occupy Mars” shirt, Musk energized the crowd by declaring himself “Dark MAGA” and warning, “This will be the last election if Trump doesn’t win.” His spirited entrance, highlighted by a dramatic jump onto the stage, quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of memes on social media, especially on X.
Here are some of the best memes and jokes:
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter), publicly endorsed Donald Trump on the same day as an assassination attempt against the former president, sharing a video of Trump raising his fist on his official X account with the caption, “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.” Throughout the election cycle, Musk has remained a steadfast supporter, even establishing a super PAC dedicated to boosting Trump’s campaign through intensive voter outreach efforts in the critical final months. This admiration appears to be reciprocated, as Trump has expressed intentions to appoint Musk to a task force focused on implementing significant cuts to government spending should he return to the White House.
