John Fetterman, Democratic senator from Pennsylvaniaexpressed to his party co-religionists about the risk of underestimating billionaire Elon Musk’s support for Republican Donald Trump’s campaign.
For some time now, the politician known for attending the Senate in shorts and sweatshirts has mentioned that his home state will end up defining the winner of the presidential elections and therefore, during an interview with the New York Post, He recommended to his colleagues not to overlook the reaction of citizens upon seeing South African tycoon Elon Musk supporting, financially and in person, the 78-year-old Republican at his rallies.
“Not just the fact that he supported (Trump), but the fact that he is now becoming an active participant and showing up and doing rallies and things like that. “He’s incredibly successful and, you know, I think some people would see him as a Tony Stark,” he said, referring to the Marvel Comics character.
However, Fetterman assures that within the Democratic Party his words are underestimated, which in such a close electoral race could be a miscalculation.
“The Democrats, you know, make light of it, or make fun of it by jumping up and down and stuff like that. AND I would just say they are doing it at our own risk.“he warned.
According to the reports presented to the Federal Electoral Commission corresponding to the third quarter of the year, Elon Musk allocated nearly $75 million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.
In addition to this, a few days ago he also went to support Trump on his return to Butler, Pennsylvania, a city where a 20-year-old student blew off part of his ear through one of the eight shots that came from a long-range rifle. .
And if this were not enough, during a campaign tour of Pennsylvania in support of Donald Trump, in front of a town hall in the city of Folsom, the majority partner of companies such as Tesla and SpaceX shared his vision about what is at stake in the elections on November 5.
“Before I had not actively participated in politics; Now I actively participate in politics because I believe that the future of the United States, the future of civilization, is at stake,” he said.
