The business mogul is set to attend a rally scheduled for Saturday at the Butler Farm Show.

Elon Musk said on Oct. 3 that he will attend former President Donald Trumpโ€™s upcoming rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

โ€œI will be there to support!โ€ Musk wrote on X, the social media platform that he mostly owns.

Trump has a rally scheduled for Saturday at the Butler Farm Show, where he was struck by a bullet during an event in July.

Authorities say Thomas Crooks, who was shot dead by a U.S. Secret Service agent, attempted to assassinate Trump.

About 30 minutes later, Musk shared video footage of Trump rising to his feet and holding a fist up after surviving the attempted assassination. Musk said he endorsed the former president.

โ€œI fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,โ€ Musk wrote at the time. โ€œThe martyr lived. Last time America had a candidate this tough was Theodore Roosevelt,โ€ he wrote in a follow-up post.

The business mogul, who is also CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, said in another post on Thursday that backing Trump has become โ€œessential to saving America!โ€

Muskโ€™s posts frequently support Trump and Republicans while denigrating Vice President Kamala Harris and members of the Democratic Party.

Trump welcomed Muskโ€™s endorsement at the time and said in a September speech that, if elected, he would, on Muskโ€™s advice, create a government efficiency commission tasked with improving government operations.

The exact security protocols in place for Trumpโ€™s next Butler rally have not been disclosed but the U.S. Secret Service says it is prepared.

A spokesman told The Epoch Times in an email that the agency has, since the attempted assassination attempt, โ€œmade comprehensive changes and enhancements to our communications capabilities, resourcing, and protective operations.โ€ Trump, he said, is receiving heightened protection.

The agency has said previously that Trump is receiving the same level of protection as President Joe Biden and Harris in the wake of the assassination attempt by Crooks and another apparent attempt by a man at a golf course in Florida.
