Tech billionaire Elon Musk, speaking at former President Donald Trump’s return rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Saturday night, told the crowd that he believes this year’s election to be the “most important election of our lifetime.”
“This is no ordinary election,” Musk said. ‘The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms. They want to take away your right to vote effectively.”
He also pointed out that 14 states do not require identification to vote, and asked, “How are you supposed to have a good, proper election if there’s no ID?”
Musk also insisted that Trump must win in November to “preserve the Constitution” and to preserve democracy.
“This is a must-win situation,” he said, telling everyone watching the speech, in person or in their homes, to vote and get everyone they know to register to vote.
“If they don’t, this will be the last election,” Musk said. “That’s my prediction. Nothing’s more important … for people out there who are watching the video or watching the live stream, you need to get everyone you know, everyone at work, your friends, family, text groups, your social media, everything.”
Many people, he added, think their votes don’t count.
“This election could be decided by 1,000 votes, 500 votes,” said Musk. “It could be a tiny margin … the one takeaway more than anything that will matter is getting those registrations and then and then getting everyone you know to actually vote. That is what will decide this election, especially in Pennsylvania.”
