On October 27, 2024, former President Donald Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, which was reportedly sold out with overflow crowds filling the streets outside. Elon Musk, accompanied by his son and mother Maye Musk, attended the rally and delivered opening remarks, declaring 'Dark Gothic MAGA' to the audience and introducing Melania Trump to the stage. Melania Trump addressed the crowd, stating, 'New York City and America needs their magic back.' During his speech, Trump announced plans to ban sanctuary cities across the United States and called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to prepare to pass a revived Alien and Sedition Act of 1798 to conduct mass deportations, pledging the 'largest deportation' in history if re-elected. Supporters at the rally chanted 'Send them back!' in response. Outside the venue, the Democratic National Committee projected messages such as 'TRUMP = UNHINGED' and 'Trump praised Hitler' on the building. The event was notable for the large turnout in traditionally Democratic New York City, with overflow crowds and significant energy among Trump's supporters.
