The event was more notable for moments like when Musk pulled a young member of the audience up on stage for a selfie.

Not to mention his repeating of debunked claims about Dominion voting systems and the 2020 vote. (The electronic voting company was paid $787 million by Fox News in 2023 after the channel made similar claims that were called defamatory).

Musk's event, which was a town hall format, delved into more topics in part because of the audience questions.

But even Musk's 15-minute opening commentary was largely focused on issues like crime and immigration, though the world's richest man touched on the national debt briefly.

He said of the Biden/Harris administration "if we get four more years of this, we're going to be fully Mad Max" — a reference to the post-apocalyptic "Mad Max" movie franchise.

He focused on US immigration and crime for about 40% of that opening speech, an analysis of the transcript found, with less than 10% devoted to inflation and the national debt.

The remainder of Musk's opening remarks before he opened the floor to questions was largely focused on the importance of Pennsylvania, the stakes of the election, and free speech issues.
