The sole vice presidential debate before the election occurred on Tuesday night in New York City between Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.
The two lawmakers wanted to introduce themselves to American voters before election day, which led to the event addressing a wide range of topics, from immigration to climate change to abortion.
During the debate, billionaire Elon Musk shared several critical posts on X, formerly known as Twitter. Musk sent out a tweet defending former President Donald Trump’s position on abortion, which the media continues to misrepresent.
“Could not be more clear that @realDonaldTrump WILL veto a national abortion ban. He has said it before many times, but this simple statement makes his position absolutely obvious and unequivocal,” Musk wrote.
In another tweet after the debate, Musk joked about the idea of Kamala Harris and Walz winning the White House.
“Trump/Vance MUST win. I can’t handle 4 years of seeing and hearing Kamala/Walz. That would be cruel and unusual punishment!” Musk tweeted.
Musk appeared to be referencing the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, which was signed into law, surprisingly, by Republican President Ronald Reagan. The law granted amnesty to undocumented immigrants who had arrived in the United States before January 1, 1984. It also made it illegal for U.S. companies to knowingly hire illegal aliens, established penalties for those companies, and established the General Accounting Office (GAO) to investigate employer discrimination against authorized immigrant workers, among other things.
Musk publicly endorsed Trump following the first assassination attempt against him in July during a rally in Butler, Pa.
