Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and SpaceX, took center stage in Week 5 of the NFL season by being seen at Sunday Night Football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys. Fans expressed mixed reaction to the tech mogul, who was seen waving a Terrible Towel and standing at eye level with some fans while in the stands at Acrisure Stadium.
Shortly after participating in a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, where Musk appeared. The rally happened at the same venue where Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt back in July. A vocal Trump supporter and constant free speech advocate, Musk joined former President Trump on stage to express his concern that democracy won’t survive if Trump doesn’t win the November election.
Musk would lead a government efficiency commission if Trump were to win in November. Presumably to cut reckless government spending and help drain the swamp of unregulate bureaucrats. Even though Musk is from South Africa he still wants to help Trump keep the constitution intact and limit the government’s power on the people and keep us a free nation.
Elon Musk is in attendance for the #Cowboys vs. #Steelers game. Waiving the terrible towel.
Such an electric atmosphere!

From Trump Rally to Steelers Game: Elon Musk’s Eventful Weekend in Pennsylvania
Musk’s appearance at the football game had fans going wild. Some Steelers fans on social media were clearly wondering why he was there at all, while others saw it as somewhat of a distraction rather than something to cheer. With its combination of trolls, techies, and football fans, the polarizing persona that is Elon Musk added to an already intense game between two historic NFL teams.
But this isn’t the first time Elon Musk has made headlines with his political views — and his presence at both the rally and the game speaks to how that line keeps getting blurred between business, politics, and sports. With election season now in gear, Elon Musk having this kind of involvement seems likely to keep him in the spotlight. As always, there are those who welcome him and those who do not.
