Tesla boss Elon Musk jumped on stage with his fists in air as he joined Donald Trump on stage for the first time.
It came as Trump returned to the Butler Farm Show grounds where he survived an attempted assassination two months ago.
Musk told the huge crowd: ‘America is the home of the brave and the true test of someone’s character is how they behave under fire. We had one president who couldn’t climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist-pumping after getting shot! FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!
Wearing a black MAGA hat, Musk urged supporters to vote and register to vote and to get others to ‘vote right now’.
‘I’m being repetitive for a reason,’ he said pleading rally attendees to get out the vote and register as soon as possible.
‘Honestly you want to be a pest,’ he said ‘fight fight fight! Vote vote vote!’

Musk’s appearance at Trump’s rally in Butler was the first time he took the stage at a political rally.
The elusive billionaire was inspired to endorse Trump publicly after the failed assassination attempt of the former president.
Trump praised Musk for donating Starlink systems to victims of hurricane Helene, joking he did not understand what the space satellite internet system was.
‘I didn’t know what the hell Starlink was,’ Trump admitted.
The crowds shouted ‘Elon! Elon! Elon!’ In response
Until his arrival, the rally remained quite more sober as Trump paid tribute to Corey Comperatore, the man who was shot and killed the day of the shooting.
After Trump called for a moment of silence, opera singer Christopher Macchio sang ‘Ave Maria’ and a bell rung at the same time that gunfire began on July 13.

At one point, the former president had to pause the rally after a woman fainted, they shouted ‘we love Trump!’ and sang the National Anthem for about four minutes as she was attended to.
The widow of Comperatore and their children also returned to the rally, seated with members of the Trump family.
The beloved Republican also named the other two victims who were shot and gravely wounded that day.
One had returned to the rally, Trump revealed, but one was in the hospital being treated.

Although the temperature in Butler is only in the high 60s, rallygoers have frequently collapsed at political rallies due to heatstroke this election season.
Earlier, as Trump took the stage he said: ‘A very big thank you, we love Pennsylvania. And, as I was saying…’
He had on two big screens a chart on immigration that was there when he was shot three months ago,
Trump said: ;I return to Butler to deliver a simple message. We are going to make America great again, we are going to win the election. And to all Americans, together, in just one month we are going to usher in a new golden age.
He added: ;For 16 seconds, time stopped as this vicious monster unleashed pure evil. That villain did not succeed.’
