OAKS, PA — Businessman Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX and recent MAGA-convert, will hold a town hall in Montgomery County on Friday as part of a Pennsylvania tour campaigning for Donald Trump. Musk's visit comes just days after Trump and vice presidential candidate JD Vance each visited the county for their own campaign events earlier this week.

The event will take place at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, the same location Trump held his event at on Tuesday, at 6 p.m.

Musk was in Delaware County on Thursday for a similar event at Ridley High School, during which he spoke for about 90 minutes and took questions from audience members.

"I can't emphasize enough that Pennsylvania is, I think, the lynchpin in this election and this election, I think, is gonna decide the fate of America," he said. "And along with the fate of America, the fate of Western civilization."

His comments align with recent conspiracy theories he has spread on Twitter, the platform he purchased last year, about "population collapse," which demographers and scientists, including the National Institutes of Health, say are patently false.

In order to get a ticket to Friday's event, Musk's America PAC requires every individual to sign a document proclaiming support for the "1st and 2nd amendments."

Musk has been encouraging people to help others register to vote, and his America PAC has offered people $47 for each voter they get registered.

Attendees at Musk's event Friday should go to the Hall E gate at the expo center.
