'Dark MAGA' Elon Musk rallies onstage with Trump in Pennsylvania

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : "In addition to his alleged donations and possible future position in a Trump task force, Musk has also given Trump and his allies a huge platform through X, formerly Twitter, which Musk bought for $44 billion in 2022.
47% : Trump said.
41% : Musk made his political leanings clear during this election cycle when he endorsed Trump for president on the same day the former president was nearly killed in Butler, and committed to give $45 million each month to the former president's campaign, though he later walked back his offer.
40% : Trump -- returning to the site where he was nearly assassinated in July -- introduced Musk as the man who "saved free speech" and as a "rocket builder," claiming his company Space X was the only reason that American astronauts can return to space.
37% : The admiration appears to be mutual between the men; Trump said he would appoint Musk to a task force with the mission of making "drastic" cuts to government spending.
32% : He said the president is a man who "couldn't climb a flight of stairs" before comparing him to Trump, who he praised for jumping back to his feet after a bullet fired by a gunman armed with an AR-15 grazed his ear on the same stage on July 13."Fight, fight, fight," said Musk, invoking Trump's words in the moments after that shooting.
28% : Then, shortly after the assassination attempt on Trump, Musk hosted a glitchy interview with the former president on X, during which the men shared their mutual disdain for labor unions.
26% : Shortly after making that claim, Trump admitted that he had no idea what Musk's satellite internet service, Starlink, was.
24% : Trump said he "called up Elon" to ask him to use Starlink to assist Americans affected by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, where internet and communication services suffered severe disruption.
