To accommodate everyone, there was a contingency plan of overflowing the venue to the neighboring Desert Diamond Arena. Musk posted a video on X (previously Twitter), showing the full venue, and expressed that he felt honored to be part of the event. Although the dress code for attendees was preferably red, white, and blue, Musk wore black, which complied with the requirements of formal attire but made him stand out from the crowd. His appearance contributed to the significance of the historic memorial.
Every seat in this giant arena that isn’t roped off for security is packed to the ceiling. Honored to be here.
