With less than 3 weeks to go until Election Day, two billionaires, Elon Musk and Mark Cuban, are hitting the campaign trail in a desperate last-minute effort to get their perspective candidates elected.
Musk, who is fully on board for former President Donald Trump, is especially focusing on the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
From the Wall Street Journal: Elon Musk will speak at a town hall in Folsom, Pa., outside Philadelphia, Thursday at 4 p.m. ET. The event is hosted by the America PAC, a pro-Donald Trump super political-action committee created by Musk. The billionaire entrepreneur poured $75 million into the group between July and September alone. America PAC focuses on helping to register voters in swing states and persuading them to get to the polls for the former president.
The town hall has unusual rules, requiring that attendees be registered Pennsylvania voters who have signed a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments. Those guarantee freedom of speech, religion and the press, as well as gun rights. It is the first of what Musk says could be as many as six similar events. Three more are currently planned, in Harrisburg, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as Trump’s allies try to persuade voters in the crucial swing state.
Musk announced on social media, “Tomorrow night through Monday, I will be giving a series of talks throughout Pennsylvania. If you’d like to attend one of my talks, there’s no attendance fee. You just need to have signed our petition supporting free speech & right to bear arms & have voted in this election.”

While speaking in Folsom, Pa. on Thursday, “We want secure borders, we want safe cities, sensible spending… We want freedom of speech. We want the constitution to be upheld.”
“I’m told at times that these are ‘right wing’ values, and I’m like, ‘are you insane?’ These are literally the fundamental values that made America what it is today,” he continued.
“Anyone who is against those things is fundamentally anti-American and to hell with them!” he said as the crowd roared in approval.
PURE FIRE FROM ELON MUSK 🔥

Meanwhile, ‘Shark Tank’ star Mark Cuban is campaigning for Kamala Harris.
The Wall Street Journal wrote: Billionaire Mark Cuban—Musk’s pro-Harris counterpart—will join Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally in La Crosse, Wis., tonight. Cuban has said that there’s “no good reason to vote for Donald Trump as the business candidate” and said that Musk was one of only a few high-profile CEOs to back him.
NBC News announced: Cuban appeared with Harris in Wisconsin on Thursday and is set to hold a town hall for her Saturday in Phoenix before heading to Michigan the following day to campaign alongside Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
In Wisconsin, Cuban raged against Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on companies who have factories with cheap labor in foreign countries, then try to import goods back to the US.
He also claimed Donald Trump is the ‘Grinch who will steal Christmas.’
Mark Cuban is genuinely embarrassing himself.
He’s not getting any applause from the crowd and having to beg them to react.
Now he’s going on about how Donald Trump is the Grinch who will steal Christmas.
And he looks like Rosie O’Donnell took too much Ozempic.
