DOJ warns Elon Musk's PAC over voter checks DOJ sends warning to Elon Musk's PAC over checks to voters 02:06 Trump, he said, "did actually tell people to not be violent." While Trump did tell the crowd on Jan. 6 to protest "peacefully and patriotically," he also encouraged them to "fight like hell " to stop Democrat Joe Biden from becoming the president. Musk spent nearly two hours taking questions from town hall participants. The freewheeling session inside a ballroom at a hotel in downtown Lancaster touched on a dizzying range of topics, from space exploration and the Tesla cybertruck to immigration and the efficacy of psychiatric drugs. The town hall was part of Musk's efforts through his super PAC to help boost Trump in swing states ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election against Democrat Kamala Harris. Trump has said he'd give Musk a role in his administration if he wins the presidency. Musk was largely praised by the town hall crowd as a visionary and solicited for advice and thoughts about education, arm wrestling, tax loopholes and whether he'd buy the Chicago White Sox. (He said he was a tech guy and had to pick his battles.) Trump won Lancaster County in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, and he won Pennsylvania in 2016 against Hillary Clinton but lost it in 2020 to Joe Biden. Musk said he was in favor of "not heavy handed" regulation of artificial intelligence and railed against "woke religion" as "fundamentally an extinctionist religion." He said the U.S. birth rate is a significant concern. He said he believes Jesus was a real person who lived about 2,000 years ago and, when asked for the best advice he's ever received, replied: "I recommend studying physics." Musk, the world's richest man, has committed more than $70 million to boost Trump in the election and, at events on behalf of his super PAC, has encouraged supporters to embrace voting early. Still, echoing some of Trump's misgivings about the method, Musk raised his own doubts about the process. He called mail ballots "a strange anomaly that got popularized during COVID," and he went on to say of mail voting that "really, you have an obvious recipe for fraud and inability to prove fraud."
