In a recent town hall event in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, tech mogul Elon Musk publicly endorsed Republican Donald Trump as part of his efforts to support Trump's campaign ahead of the November 5 presidential election against Democrat Kamala Harris, reported AP.

Musk addressed a question regarding concerns that Trump's presidency could threaten democracy, particularly in light of the January 6 Capitol attack. He said the January 6 attack by Trump's supporters has been called “some sort of violent insurrection, which is simply not the case", a response that drew applause from the crowd, stated AP.
