Musk, the world's richest man, has also shared a post following his attendance in the stadium. “Every seat in this giant arena that isn’t roped off for security is packed to the ceiling. Honored to be here. All for Charlie Kirk,” he wrote.
Another video shared by X user named Marc Lynch shows passengers on a plane are singing “Amazing Grace” as they land in Phoenix for Charlie Kirk's funeral.
Other posts included enormous crowds in Arizona, funeral processions, and well-dressed participants.
One of the videos shared by a MAGA Voice shows that a “Pizza manager WALKED over a MILE to deliver dozens of pizzas to Patriots waiting in line for Charlie Kirk’s memorial in Arizona.”
Trump to arrive at Charlie Kirk funeral
President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and five Cabinet officials are expected to speak at the funeral on Sunday in Glendale, a Phoenix suburb, with security heightened to the level usually seen at Super Bowls.
As he departed the White House for Arizona on Sunday morning, Trump predicted that the day would be “tough.” He informed reporters, “Today we will honor the life of a great man.”
Although more than 200,000 individuals registered their interest in going in person online, the stadium, which is home to the Arizona Cardinals of the NFL, can only hold up to 73,000 people for larger events.
The adjacent Desert Diamond Arena, which can accommodate an additional 19,000 people, will serve as an overflow venue.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller are among the other speakers.
Erika Kirk, Kirk's wife and the current head of Turning Point USA, will also speak to the crowd.
