Elon Musk Holds His First Solo Event In Support Of Trump In The Philadelphia Suburbs
FOLSOM, Pennsylvania – Elon Musk attended his first solo rally in support of Donald Trump for president on Thursday, encouraging voters in the Philadelphia suburbs to register and vote early, despite some attendance asking, “Why?”
The America PAC event at Ridley High School’s auditorium in Folsom included the world’s wealthiest man speaking onstage in front of a giant American flag for about 15 minutes before fielding questions from the audience, many of whom wore “Make America Great Again” hats.
The event was advertised as a rallying cry to vote early in Pennsylvania, a critical battleground state where Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris are competing furiously for the presidency. Some in the audience questioned Musk’s appeals to vote early, implying that Republicans are still persuading their supporters to favor early voting after Trump spent years condemning the practice.
Elon Musk Holds His First Solo Event In Support Of Trump In The Philadelphia Suburbs
When Musk, the wealthy inventor of Tesla and Space X and owner of the social media network X, went onstage, the audience stood up and snapped cellphone videos. They remained standing during his remarks and clapped loudly when he claimed the United States Constitution must be protected.
“These are the underlying ideals that have made America what it is today. And anyone who opposes those things is inherently anti-American, so heck with them,” declared Musk, who was born in South Africa. The crowd erupted.
He urged the audience to ensure that they, their friends, and family were registered to vote and to “pester” those who were not. Toward the end of the question time, which included over a dozen from the audience, he was asked to explain if Pennsylvanians should vote early. Musk was briefly sidetracked by a spectator waving a hat that he appeared to autograph, followed by a toddler whom he brought onstage for a photo.
Redirected to the question, he stated that people should vote promptly.
Some in the audience clasped their hands and exclaimed, “Why?” He did not respond. A representative indicated after the event that he had no further comment.
For years, Trump has cast doubt on postal and early voting, alleging that it is rife with fraud, despite the fact that voter fraud is rare in the United States. This year, Republicans are making a renewed drive to persuade their supporters to vote early and lock in their ballots, despite acknowledging mistrust from those conditioned by Trump’s misleading statements.
A couple who attended the event, John and Linda Bird, expressed worries about the integrity of the voting mechanism and about voting early.
John Bird indicated he intended to vote on Election Day. Linda pointed to a banner distributed at the event that stated Trump advocated for early voting and expressed concern about not being able to vote on November 5.
Even so, she stated that she would vote on Election Day as well.
“Anything can happen, you know, you wake up that morning, some catastrophe happens or whatever,” she told me. “But, you know, we’re planning on voting on Nov. 5.”
One of the questioners brought up electoral fraud, which Trump has erroneously claimed cost him the 2020 presidential race. An Associated Press analysis of every potential example of voter fraud in the six key states contested by Trump discovered less than 475, a figure that would have made no difference in the outcome.
Musk remarked sarcastically that it must be a coincidence that Dominion voting machines, which had been the subject of conspiracy rumors in the 2020 election, were utilized in Philadelphia and Maricopa County, Arizona, two battleground states won by Democrat Joe Biden. In 2023, Fox News agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787 million to avoid a trial in a defamation case filed by the voting equipment company against the network for false statements about their company moving ballots.
In an emailed comment issued Thursday, Dominion stated that its equipment is not used in Philadelphia, as Musk claimed. The statement also stated that its systems rely on “verified paper ballots.”
“These aren’t just opinions. These are verifiable facts. Dominion said.
Musk has become a vocal supporter of Trump this campaign season. On Thursday evening, he described the election in frightening terms.
“I’ve never been politically involved before. “I’m politically active now because I believe the future of America and civilization is at stake,” he explained.

People lined up to attend before 3 p.m. when school let out. When it became evident that not everyone who had lined up to pose a question would be able to do so, a few people left early.
The event was livestreamed on X, formerly Twitter, and was occasionally glitchy and difficult to follow, despite attracting hundreds of thousands of spectators.
Musk is leading much of Trump’s voter turnout efforts through his America PAC, a super PAC with limitless fundraising and spending power. He has pledged over $70 million to the super PAC to help Trump and other Republicans win in November.
Trump and the Republican National Committee he controls chose an unusual tactic of dividing canvassing tasks in crucial regions with groups such as Musk’s. They’ve also focused their efforts on Trump supporters who don’t generally vote, rather than independent or moderate voters.

Democrats Now Leaderless After Trump Presidential Win
Democrats spent billions of dollars with the legacy media to try and create fear among American voters that Donald Trump posed an imminent threat to democracy; in the end, voters didn’t care. They chose to believe their own eyes and not the rhetoric.
Following Kamala Harris’ decisive loss, the Democrats are now entering a second Trump presidency without a clear leader, a clear plan, or an accord on the reasons for their significant miscalculations in the 2024 election.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent and former Democratic primary candidate, had warned Harris before Election Day that she was focusing too much on flipping Republican votes and not enough on pocketbook issues. He issued a statement excoriating party leadership.
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” he said. “First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”
Trump’s promises to impose tariffs on both allies and foes and his threats to American businesses contemplating the relocation of jobs offshore were alluring to union workers.
Alexandra Rojas, the executive director of the far-left Justice Democrats, told AP that the party’s leadership must “accept responsibility for that a second”Donald Trump presidency was once again feasible under their supervision.”
Rojas charged that the Democratic Party is los”ng legitimacy among the everyday people and marginalized communities, who are continuously used as stepping stones to win elections. She also acknowledged that “there are no easy answers for where we as a coun”ry and movement go from here.”
The data indicates that Democrats have” substantial work to do.
Faiz Shakir, the Democratic strategist who oversaw Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, is concerned that Sanders’s Democratic Party will fail to engage in the necessary introspection after this catastrophic defeat.
He asserted that “a healthy party is challenging itself to conduct”that type of autopsy and hear what we did wrong.” “I am not even aware that such a process will occur. He asks, “Will the Democratic Party’s well-paid consultant and big-money interParty learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?”
“Will they comprehend the political alienation and pain that tens of millions of Americans are currently experiencing?” Do they have any suggestions for how we can confront the Oligarchy, which is gaining economic and political influence at an accelerated pace? It is unlikely, he said.

Kamala Concession Speech Trends on Google
One day after former President Donald Trump’s historic re-election, Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the presidential race and vowed to maintain unity. Her concession speech trended on Google with over 5 million searches.
“I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign, but I do concede this election.” She stated, “In our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party, but to the Constitution of the United States.”
Kamala Harris acknowledged that there was no viable strategy for obtaining the presidency even though her speech was not what she intended.
In the center of Washington, DC, Harris delivered a speech at her alma mater, Howard University. Harris expressed her gratitude to the hundreds of campaign workers and volunteers who worked assiduously on her campaign and to the tens of millions of voters who cast their votes for her.
Kamala Harris also stated that the country should unite for a peaceful power transfer despite the agony of losing.
She said, “We must acknowledge the outcomes of this election.” “I conversed with President-elect Trump earlier today and congratulated him on his victory.”
I also informed him that we would assist him and his team during his transition and participate in a peaceful transfer of power.
In the interim, Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a caustic statement regarding the presidential election results, accusing the Democratic Party of having “abandoned” working-class voters. It’s unsurprising that “a Democratic Party that has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.”
Sanders, who secured re-election last night, stated that the party’s white working-class voters were the first to quit and that it now appears that Latino and Black workers are following suit. “The American people are enraged and desire change despite the Democratic leadership’s defense of the status quo,” he stated. “And they’re right.”
Trump and Vance were also congratulated on their electoral victory by former President Obama, who ardently campaigned for Harris in the final stretch before Election Day. This was announced in a statement published today.
“This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues,” according to him. “But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power.”

Despite All the Odds Donald Trump Elected 47th President
On Wednesday, Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States, a remarkable turnaround for a former president who refused to concede defeat four years ago.
Trump achieved the 270 electoral votes required to secure the presidency with a victory in Wisconsin. On Wednesday afternoon, he emerged victorious in Michigan, conquering the “blue wall” with Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris contacted President-Elect Trump to congratulate her and acknowledge his victory in the election. Shortly thereafter, Vice President Biden conversed with Trump to extend his congratulations and invitation to the White House.
Foreign leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also phoned Trump.
“I would like to express my gratitude to the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected as your 47th and 45th president,” Trump addressed a crowd of enthusiastic supporters in Florida before officially confirming their victory.
“Today, you demonstrated unprecedented attendance to secure a victory, and we have endured an immense amount of hardship together,” Trump said. This was truly exceptional, and we will repay you,” he added.
Upon his return to office, Trump will collaborate with a Senate that is now under Republican control, while the House’s governance remains uncertain.
Elon Musk’s Tesla, banks, cryptocurrencies, and the U.S. stock market all surged Wednesday as investors anticipated a smooth election and Trump’s return to the White House.
Trump has pledged to implement an agenda that prioritizes the substantial revamping of the federal government during his second term.
When Trump assumes office on January 20, he will face various challenges, such as global crises testing America’s influence abroad and heightened political polarization.
Trump has pledged to revolutionize nearly every facet of the American government. This encompasses the intention to initiate the most extensive deportation operation in the nation’s history, once more pursue a zero-sum approach to foreign policy, and increase the use of tariffs.
Upon his arrival in Washington in 2017, Trump was unfamiliar with the mechanisms of federal authority. Congress, the judiciary, and senior staff members who acted as guardrails impeded his agenda.
This time, Trump has declared that he will surround himself with allies who will execute his agenda without question and arrive with hundreds of proposed executive orders, legislative proposals, and in-depth policy papers.
