Former President Donald Trump praised Elon Musk for making an appearance at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally on Saturday.
Over the weekend, the billionaire technology investor joined Trump on stage where he praised the GOP nominee for how he reacted to getting shot at back in July. Moreover, Musk implored Trump’s supporters to get as many people as possible to vote for him and register to vote by November or it would be “the last election.”
At a Sunday rally in Wisconsin, Trump thanked Musk for appearing at his rally and then claimed victims of Hurricane Helene needs “big doses” of Musk’s’ StarLink before later saying “I don’t know what the hell it is.”
“And by the way, how good of a guy is Elon Musk?!” Trump told a roaring audience. “I get a call from a really good person in North Carolina. They said the people there is no communication. They said, ‘Do you know a man named Elon Musk?’ I said I do actually he endorsed me very strongly and we love him. He’s a smart cookie. A little different too.”
Trump then claimed that he reached out to Musk asking if the billionaire could use StarLink to help victims of Helene in North Carolina.
But they want Starlink. So I said, whatever it is, let’s — So I called Elon, I say ….and you can&
#8217;t get it’s really popular… It’s very hard to get but they need it and they need big doses of it like fast. And I’m calling Elon and said, Elon in North Carolina and parts of Georgia. And the governor is doing a very good job, by the way, in Georgia, I have to say a very good job. But in parts of Georgia, in parts of Georgia, and in real big parts of North Carolina, they need something called StarLink. I don’t know what the hell it is. And you don’t have to tell me because I don’t want to waste a lot of time. But would you be able to get it? And we talked on the phone for a couple of minutes and during my conversation with him, I got a call from North Carolina thanking me for getting StarLink. I said, I said, how the hell did you do that? You’re talking to me. You didn’t have time. He said, well, I have a system.
