Wearing a black MAGA cap, tech billionaire Elon Musk described himself as a“dark, gothic MAGA”, at a massive Donald Trump rally at New York's Madison Square Garden on Sunday, October 27.
The high-profile spectacle aimed at generating media buzz in a state that he is likely to lose on Nov. 5.
Musk, who is supporting Trump's reelection bid with his X social media platform and enormous wealth, called the election a “real battle” and urged people to vote early for the Republican.
Trump, a New York celebrity for decades, hoped to use the event at the iconic venue known for Knicks basketball games and Billy Joel concerts to deliver his closing argument against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, even though the state last backed a Republican presidential candidate in 1984.
Some of the introductory speakers used racist and misogynistic language in warming up a capacity crowd in the hours before Trump was set to speak.
