Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is Set to Speak at President-Elect Donald Trump’s Pre-Inauguration Rally
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is slated to speak at President-elect Donald Trump’s pre-inauguration rally on Sunday, according to a new report. The event, titled “Make America Great Again Victory Rally,” is set to take place at the Capitol One Arena in Washington, D.C.
Musk, who is poised to lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) once Trump takes office, will provide remarks during the event. Other speakers on the agenda include Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, conservative media personality Megyn Kelly, as well as members of Trump’s immediate family.
The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. Musk has been a strong supporter of Trump, donating millions of dollars to his presidential campaign and speaking at official events with the incoming president.
DOGE, which is not a federal government agency, is aiming to eliminate government spending, waste, and streamline operations to slash the federal government budget. Musk is spearheading efforts with tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to cut $2 trillion from the federal government budget through efforts to slash spending, government programs, and the federal workforce. However, Musk recently stated that eliminating $2 trillion from the federal budget might be too ambitious, and that a more realistic goal would be to cut $1 trillion.
