Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, made headlines recently after attending a Donald Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he introduced himself as “Dark MAGA.” Speaking to the crowd, Musk said, “As you can see, I’m not just MAGA, I’m dark MAGA,” which was met with applause. This appearance marked a clear alignment between the tech billionaire and former US President Trump as the 2024 election, set for November 5, approaches.
What is Dark ‘ MAGA’?
At the march in Butler, Pennsylvania, Elon Musk wore a” Make America Great Repeatedly” cover and an” Occupy Mars” clothing, introducing himself as” Dark MAGA” to the masses. While MAGA has long been associated with Trump’s political motion,” Dark MAGA” is a lesser-known name, commonly linked to far-right border groups. This principle represents a more intense, autocratic version of Trump’s ideals, portraying him as a prominent figure determined to regain America by any means necessary. Though” Dark MAGA” began as an online image, Musk’s people embrace of it is viewed as an support of this intensified perception of the action, as reported by the Independent.
British newspaper Newsweek describes Dark MAGA as more of a joke than a social tagline:” Dark MAGA is a post-alt-right cosmetic that promotes an autocratic version of Trump in futuristic, Terminator-like images. In some places, the Trump Tower is completely dark, and a blue laser-ensuring former leader can be seen piercing through the window.
The conventional Trump movement is being driven by Dark MAGA’s desire to infuse more intense narratives and aesthetics. It borrows seriously from the vaporwave style, which was itself co-opted by “fashwave”, an 80s neon-coloured pattern associated with bright separatists. Also, Dark MAGA takes cues from the “skull face” motion, which introduces major conservatives to more extreme parts of the correct by blending Trump memes with these visuals, as per Newsweek.
Musk’s aid for Trump
At the march, Musk referred to Trump as “brave” and highlighted the former president’s endurance, referencing a current death attempt against Trump in July at the same place. He compared Trump’s response to President Biden’s affair and criticized Biden for allowing him to” walk a flight of stairs.”
Musk has created a very PAC to boost Trump’s campaign, especially in key battleground state. His presence has gotten more and more private, with Musk promising to support voter mobilization for the 2024 vote.
Musk’s role in the political landscape
For decades, rumors have been about Musk’s social outlook. His criticisms of the “woke mind virus” and advocacy for free speech, particularly after his acquisition of Twitter ( now rebranded as X ), have drawn him closer to right-wing politics, as reported by the Independent. Criticism has long been cast as a result of his association with the liberal movement, which grew even more obvious during this election period.
In Butler, Musk reiterated his concerns that the Democrats would strip Americans of their rights, claiming that they aim to take away “your freedom of speech, your right to bear arms, ]and ] your right to vote, effectively”. Despite these statements, Musk does not have a proper social background, yet his influence, especially through X, has become a powerful instrument for boosting messages.
As the rally concluded, Musk made his unwavering support for Trump’s re-election clear, warning of the high stakes involved. He cautioned the crowd with a stark prediction:” If they do n’t, this will be the last election”. His comments, drew significant attention, with many critics accusing Musk of fear-mongering as he further aligned himself with Trump’s cause.
