Fetterman highlighted the reach and influence of Musk, drawing a comparison to the Marvel Comics character Tony Stark, who is famously portrayed as a brilliant, wealthy entrepreneur. “I mean, [Musk] is incredibly successful, and, you know, I think some people would see him as, like, a Tony Stark,” Fetterman noted. His point: Musk has an appeal that resonates with many voters, particularly those Harris needs to secure in Pennsylvania. Fetterman criticized his party for underestimating Musk’s influence, cautioning that mocking or dismissing him could prove costly. “Democrats, you know, kind of make light of it, or they make fun of him jumping up and down and things like that. And I would just say that they are doing that at our peril.”
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has long maintained that he identifies as a centrist, and he has supported Democratic candidates in the past. However, in recent years, Musk has grown increasingly vocal about his disillusionment with the Democratic Party, accusing it of moving too far left and embracing what he calls the “woke mind virus.” His shift in political allegiance has culminated in full-throated support for Trump’s re-election bid.
In fact, Musk’s involvement in the 2024 race has already made waves. Earlier this month, the world’s richest man appeared alongside Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he told the crowd that this election is the “most important of our lifetime.” Musk’s endorsement has been more than just words—he has backed it up financially, donating a staggering $75 million to a pro-Trump super PAC focused on boosting voter turnout.
As the November 5 election approaches, Musk plans to double down on his efforts to sway voters in Pennsylvania. According to reports from Fox News, Musk will participate in a series of town hall events across the battleground state in the coming weeks, a clear signal that he intends to help galvanize support for Trump in this pivotal swing state.
For Fetterman, the stakes couldn’t be higher. In his view, Trump’s appeal in Pennsylvania is undeniable, and that’s what makes the state such a fierce battleground. Fetterman described Trump’s connection to Pennsylvanians as “undeniable” and urged his party to recognize the power of Trump’s base. “Trump has a connection that’s undeniable. And anyone that spends any time across Pennsylvania can see that kind of devotion, and that’s why it’s going to be very close,” Fetterman said. He added, “Pennsylvania picks the president.”

Although Fetterman has been a strong supporter of President Joe Biden, he remains realistic about the tight race ahead. While some within the Democratic Party pushed for Biden to step down after his debated performance earlier this year, Fetterman stands by his belief that Biden would have been competitive against Trump. “I’d like to remind everybody that Biden is the only person that’s ever beaten Trump,” Fetterman said.
Despite the odds, Fetterman believes Harris can carry the state. “Harris could not have run a better campaign than she has so far right now,” he stated, expressing confidence that Pennsylvania voters will ultimately side with the Democrats. Still, he acknowledged that the road to victory won’t be easy.
Fetterman’s warning underscores the gravity of Musk’s involvement in the 2024 election, particularly in a battleground state like Pennsylvania, where every vote counts. As Musk ramps up his support for Trump, Democrats will need to strategize carefully to avoid being caught off guard by the tech billionaire’s influence.
