Elon Musk’s Town Hall Was 2 1/2 Hours On Aliens, Elections And Chick-Fil-A

The event was, in theory, about voting in this election for Donald Trump. But Musk delivered a one-man show that was part Q&A, part stream of consciousness.
LANCASTER, Pa. — For 2 1/2 hours, in a Marriott ballroom transformed into a moody red, blue and black town hall space, no question was off-limits for Elon Musk, the man who brought the world Tesla and who wants to colonize Mars — and who’s latest project is bankrolling one of the biggest get-out-the-vote operations for Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
And for 2 1/2 hours on Saturday night, Musk delivered a one-man show that was part Q&A from random audience members, part stream of consciousness, and part self-styled stand-up routine.
“We will be illegal aliens on Mars,” mused Musk, the world’s richest man, talking about space and his desire for humans to eventually inhabit another planet, moments after doing a starfish jump in black cowboy boots.
The SpaceX and Tesla founder was the headliner for the event put on by his political action committee, America PAC, which has sunk at least $75 million of Musk’s personal fortune into electing Donald Trump in key swing states. The bulk of Musk’s efforts appear to be in Pennsylvania, where Musk just hosted his second town of the election cycle that featured ― despite a warning from the Department of Justice ― the latest installment of America PAC’s daily million-dollar giveaway for people who sign his petition in support of the Constitution. (Musk argued this wasn’t an illegal bribe to vote. “You don’t even have to vote. It would be nice if you voted, but you don’t have to,” Musk said after handing a woman a gigantic prop check.)
The event was, in theory, about voting in this election for Donald Trump. After subjecting the audience to 45 minutes of college football on jumbo screens, Musk finally hopped, literally, onstage and encouraged people to vote in any way possible, including early in-person and via absentee ballot.
