Yahoo Lifestyle Elon Musk Stole The Spotlight At Trump's Rally, And The Internet Can't Get Enough Of It
Elon Musk is trending on Twitter...oops! I mean X.
The Tesla CEO made a rare appearance at former president Donald Trump's campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, and boy, was he excited.
Rocking a black "Make America Great Again" hat and T-shirt that read "Occupy Mars," Elon fired up the crowd with several interesting remarks. He opened with, "As you can see, I am not just MAGA — I am Dark MAGA," so you know he was in rare form.
If you remember, Elon publicly endorsed Trump only minutes after a gunman shot at the former president on July 13 in Butler in a post on X, which explains why Elon might be in attendance for the former president's return to the city.
But Elon's actions spoke louder than his words at the rally because the second he started jumping around, he went viral (on the platform he owns).
Urging the crowd to "Fight! Fight! Fight!" as a callback to Trump's words after the July 13 attack, Elon bounced on stage with sheer excitement, and the internet didn't hold back.
People can't get enough of what someone suggested is the "cringiest" moment in politics, and that's saying a lot.
