Will Elon Musk Tip the Election for Trump?

Leah Feiger: So Trump transports Musk out, he calls him a truly incredible guy. Musk literassociate jumps into the air on stage, in what was apprehfinishd in truthwholey one of the cringiest pboilingos that I’ve seen online maybe this year, and then Musk talks to the crowd for a couple of minutes. What does he say? Talk us thraw that.

Vittoria Elliott: It’s such a turn from 2020 when there’s all this suspicion around mail-in ballots, around punctual voting. Now suddenly we’re hearing, “Make declareive you’re enrolled to vote, vote punctual, do this, do that, get everyone you comprehend to vote.” There’s this reassociate, reassociate huge get out the vote push, and that is what Elon was on. When the assassin’s bullet grazed Trump’s ear, he got up and shelp, “Fight, fight, fight.” And Musk very mindwholey shelp, “Vote, vote, vote.” And everyone in the crowd instantly saw that parallel that-

Leah Feiger: I uncomardent, he drew it. Yeah.

Vittoria Elliott: People were very into that, and one of the leangs that Musk shelp that got a lot of reaction from the people that I was straightforwardly around was he shelp, “The Second-“

Elon Musk [Archival audio]: The Second Amendment is there to asdeclareive that we have the First Amendment.

Vittoria Elliott: He was there to whip up the troops, to reassociate speak to the genuine consentrs, to push, push, push for voter turnout, because I leank my sense with the way that the MAGA relocatement is right now is that they comprehfinish what the Biden team understood in 2020 where it’s not about altering novel people, it’s about getting the people that are already on your team mobilized. He shelp, “This election is the most meaningful election of our lifetime.” Quite normal. I leank I’ve heard every politician say that for the last 20 years, but then he says, “You have to transport everyone you comprehend to vote. If they don’t, this will be-“

Elon Musk [Archival audio]: This will be the last election. That’s my foreseeion. Noleang’s more meaningful, noleang’s more meaningful.

Vittoria Elliott: I even had some people repeat that to me on the way out of the rassociate, and that is also someleang he has been very accessible about saying on X, even before coming to this rassociate. A lot of times when Musk is speaking accessiblely or when he’s interseeed, he will tamp back some of the rhetoric that he spreads online. If we leank back to the Don Lemon intersee, where he was faceed about the fantastic swapment theory, he hedged a little bit on that.
