Staff Editor Elon Musk Hosts Town Hall in Pennsylvania, Discusses Election and Controversial Topics
Tech billionaire Elon Musk held a town hall event in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, focusing on supporting former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. The gathering covered a wide range of topics, from space exploration and Tesla to immigration and psychiatric drugs.
Musk, who has been actively working through his super PAC to boost Trump’s campaign in swing states, addressed the crowd ahead of the anticipated election against Vice President Kamala Harris.
During the event, Musk made controversial statements regarding the January 6 Capitol attack, downplaying its severity and suggesting it was not a violent insurrection. His comments were met with applause from the audience. Musk also claimed that those labeling Trump as a threat to democracy were themselves threats.
On the subject of voting, Musk encouraged early voting but expressed skepticism about mail-in ballots, describing them as a “recipe for fraud” and a pandemic-era anomaly. He acknowledged existing safeguards for mail-in voting, such as signature verification, but maintained his reservations.
The town hall featured a diverse range of audience questions, covering topics from democracy concerns to personal advice. Musk was praised as a visionary by attendees and offered his thoughts on education, tax loopholes, and AI regulation. He also criticized what he termed “woke religion.”
In a more personal moment, Musk shared his belief in Jesus as a historical figure and recommended studying physics as the best advice he’s ever received.
The event concluded with a promotional giveaway, where Musk presented a $1 million check to a voter as part of his super PAC’s initiative to support the U.S. Constitution. Audience member Josh Fox commented on the giveaway and its potential legal implications.
As the election approaches, Musk’s involvement and influence in political discourse continue to draw attention and spark debate across the nation.
