WASHINGTON, Oct 18, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Elon Musk warned Thursday that the "fate of Western civilization" depends on Donald Trump returning to office as the tech billionaire launched five nights of campaign events for the White House candidate in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. "And this election, I think, is going to decide the fate of America and, along with the fate of America, the fate of Western civilization." Trump is in a knife-edge election against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, less than three weeks ahead of Election Day. Musk, who endorsed Trump in July, is one of the Biden administration's fiercest critics and frequently spreads far-right misinformation about undocumented immigrants and voter fraud. Trump has largely handed off his grassroots "get-out-the-vote" push to Musk's America PAC in Pennsylvania and the other swing states expected to determine the election.
