Elon Musk

Elon Musk embarked on a politically charged tour across Pennsylvania in support of Donald Trump's bid for the White House. Over four days, Musk rallied conservatives with discussions on artificial intelligence, government regulation, and more, while making contentious statements regarding election fraud.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO distributed two $1 million checks to select supporters who backed his online petition advocating for constitutional rights. Additionally, Musk publicly endorsed conspiracy theories around election fraud, reiterating discredited claims regarding voting machines and immigration tactics.

Throughout the tour, Musk's promises of cutting perceived burdensome regulations resonated with Trump's base, as he hinted at potential leadership in a government efficiency commission should Trump return to office. Despite facing legal uncertainties, Musk's actions continue to spark debate on election integrity and regulatory policies.
