I want to thank a man named Elon Musk,” Trump began. He recalled a time when communication infrastructure was wiped out in parts of North Carolina after the storm. Starlink, a satellite internet service provided by Musk's SpaceX, was deployed to help restore essential communication in areas that were otherwise unreachable. Trump praised Musk for responding swiftly to his request to send hundreds of Starlink units to North Carolina and Georgia to aid recovery efforts.

According to Trump, Musk provided the crucial technology just in time to help those impacted by the hurricane. “They had no communication, they were just wiped out,” Trump said, explaining how Musk’s Starlink was the key to re-establishing critical lines of communication in the region.

Trump also reminisced about a recent SpaceX rocket launch that left him in awe, saying it was the "coolest thing" he had seen in a long time. The former president vividly described watching the rocket's descent on television, marveling at its precision. He used the moment to highlight Musk’s ingenuity, calling him a "brilliant guy."

Elon Musk gave me the greatest endorsement,” Trump told the audience, continuing his praise for the tech entrepreneur, who he said has been a staunch supporter of his campaign. Trump also claimed that Musk was campaigning for him in Pennsylvania, further demonstrating Musk’s commitment to the Trump campaign.

In a lighthearted moment, Trump joked about Musk wearing a “dark MAGA” hat during a visit to Butler, Pennsylvania, to honor a fallen firefighter. Trump noted Musk's continued support, even mentioning Musk's choice of attire as a sign of solidarity with the MAGA movement.

Trump concluded his speech by urging the crowd to protect "brilliant people" like Musk, emphasizing that there aren’t many individuals with his level of innovation. He also pointed out the importance of revitalizing the American dream, calling for a resurgence of confidence, respect, and optimism in America’s future.

Trump’s remarks underscored his admiration for Musk and framed the tech mogul as a key ally in his 2024 campaign, while reinforcing the importance of innovation and leadership in rebuilding the nation.
