Elon Musk has publicly endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election. This endorsement came minutes after an incident at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday evening where gunshots were reportedly fired at Trump, leaving him injured. Musk expressed his support on his social media platform X, stating, 'I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.' The endorsement follows reports that Musk had previously donated to a pro-Trump super PAC. The rally incident has drawn significant attention, with the Secret Service involved in the response.
