<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Democrats ignoring the powerful influence of Elon Musk stumping for Donald Trump in must-win Pennsylvania do so at their own peril – so says Democratic Senator Fetterman.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fetterman has been warning fellow Democrats not to dismiss Elon Musk&#8217;s support for former President Trump in the Keystone State. Nineteen Electoral College votes are at stake in Pennsylvania on Nov. 5, and the state is rated a toss-up by every reputable poll.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With both Trump and Vice President Harris fiercely competing there, and the winner likely to take the White House, the plain-dressed and plainspoken Fetterman told the New York Post in an interview that &#8220;Musk is a concern.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Not even just that he has endorsed [Trump], but the fact that now he’s becoming an active participant and showing up and doing rallies and things like that,&#8221; Fetterman said, explaining that the enormously successful Tesla and SpaceX CEO is an attractive figure for the kinds of voters Harris needs to win.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I mean, [Musk] is incredibly successful, and, you know, I think some people would see him as like a Tony Stark,&#8221; said Fetterman, referencing the popular Marvel Comics character. &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Musk, notably the world&#8217;s richest man, has described himself as a centrist and voted for Democrats in the past. He has since stated in various social media posts that the Democratic Party has drifted too leftward, embracing what he calls the &#8220;woke mind virus.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He appeared at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, alongside Trump earlier this month, where he told a crowd of Trump supporters that this is the &#8220;most important election of our lifetime.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Musk also posted on X that he would be speaking at a series of town hall events in the battleground state through the weekend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additionally, the billionaire has put his money where his mouth is, donating $75 million to a pro-Trump super PAC, which focuses on voter turnout.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fetterman, who at times has clashed with the progressive wing of his party, told the Post that while he is not in a panic over 2024, the election in Pennsylvania is &#8220;going to be ridiculously close.&#8221; ; &#8220;Trump has a connection that&#8217;s undeniable. And anyone that spends any time across Pennsylvania can see that kind of devotion, and that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s going to be very close,&#8221; Fetterman said, &#8220;Pennsylvania picks the president.&#8221;</p>
