Elon Musk made a powerful appeal to Pennsylvania voters, urging them to register within the next three days. “If you’re not registered by Monday evening, you can’t vote,” Musk emphasized, underscoring the urgency to register by Monday’s deadline. At today’s Folsom event, Musk stressed the importance of registering on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or by Monday to have a voice in this pivotal election. He warned the crowd that Pennsylvania will likely be decided by only a few votes and that whoever wins Pennsylvania could secure the presidency and, in Musk’s words, “decide the future of our civilization.” This resonated strongly with the audience, who cheered and assured Musk of their commitment to get registered.
Musk had opened today’s event with another statement that quickly resonated with the crowd: “Without a border, you don’t have a country.” Drawing from his own immigrant experience, he expressed strong support for legal immigration, advocating for immigrants as assets rather than liabilities. This message struck a chord, as the crowd enthusiastically cheered his stance on secure, lawful immigration.
Musk’s support is shaping up to be a significant advantage for Trump, especially in Pennsylvania. Earlier on X, Vivek Ramaswamy underscored Pennsylvania’s key role in this election, adding weight to his own stop at Penn State tonight. Even Democratic Senator John Fetterman advised his party not to underestimate the impact of Trump and Musk, pointing out Musk’s appeal among Pennsylvania’s independents and stressing that Musk’s support extends well beyond financial backing.
Musk has committed to a Pennsylvania tour leading up to Election Day, engaging directly with voters. Commentator Nick Sortor described Musk’s presence as potentially Kamala Harris’s “worst nightmare.”
Nate Silver noted on X that while Trump’s odds currently stand at 50%, they could soar to 93% if he wins Pennsylvania, leaving Harris with only a 7% chance if she loses the state. This emphasizes Pennsylvania’s decisive role in the race.
With Musk joining Trump’s events, the focus is shifting to issues that resonate with Pennsylvania’s independents, such as government reform, accountability, and Musk’s proposal to reduce federal government size by up to 80%—an idea appealing to both independents and libertarians.
Ultimately, these rallies—whether led by Trump or Musk—have a far-reaching impact. Beyond attendance numbers, the true strength of these events lies in their multiplier effect across social and traditional media. Videos and reports of these events are widely shared, potentially reaching millions and generating momentum. In Pennsylvania’s close race, even a modest swing of independent support toward Trump could tip the scales in his favor, positioning him on a promising path to victory. 🗳️🇺🇸 https://video.nostr.build/0fef3dc6a85d92836feaaf33115ebec9b6825ecd9688b69b2c91c51227425d6c.mp4
