    Big Tech titan Elon Musk revealed he would be “giving a series of talks throughout Pennsylvania” from Thursday evening through Monday.

    Musk said the events would have no attendance fee and would be open to Pennsylvania voters in a thread posted to X early Wednesday morning. Musk also said people who want to attend the talks would need to sign a petition from his pro-Trump America PAC that supports free speech and Second Amendment rights.

    While the SpaceX and Tesla CEO had formerly supported Democratic presidents such as Barack Obama, he endorsed Trump following the first assassination attempt against the former president in July. Musk has since become an ardent MAGA supporter, hosting Trump on his social media platform X in August and using his America PAC to give the former president’s campaign millions.
