主持人：本期节目讨论了埃隆·马斯克对唐纳德·特朗普的支持以及他对即将到来的美国大选的看法。马斯克认为这是他一生中最重要的选举，并通过他的政治行动委员会（PAC）America PAC，以每小时30美元的高薪招聘人员进行选民外联工作，以提高选民登记和投票率，尤其是在关键战场州。America PAC 已投入大量资金用于竞选活动，马斯克承诺每月向其提供约4500万美元的资金。马斯克在特朗普的集会上公开支持特朗普，并呼吁支持者积极参与选举。
马斯克的政治立场发生了转变，从温和的民主党人转向支持共和党事业。他与特朗普的关系日益密切，并在其社交媒体平台X上与特朗普进行了长时间的讨论。马斯克直接批评了民主党政策，并反对加州禁止选民身份证的要求。他认为民主党议程旨在压制言论自由、限制枪支拥有和限制有效的投票权。马斯克在集会上身穿“让美国再次伟大”帽子和“占领火星”T恤，积极为特朗普竞选，并警告说如果特朗普没有当选，这可能是最后一次选举。社交媒体对马斯克选民外联工作的反应褒贬不一，但人们注意到了高薪。America PAC 与其他保守派组织合作，以巩固共和党的努力。马斯克的倡议也引起了人们对在政治运动中使用经济激励措施的更广泛影响的关注。
在宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒举行的集会上，马斯克与其他共和党重要人物一起露面，显示了集会的重要性。马斯克对特朗普竞选的贡献，特别是通过他的超级政治行动委员会，揭示了一种战略联盟，利用马斯克的影响力和财力来支持特朗普竞选总统。特朗普暗示马斯克将在未来的政府中担任角色。
马斯克：我支持唐纳德·特朗普，我认为这次选举关系到美国的未来。我通过America PAC投入大量资金和人力资源，以确保特朗普的支持者能够参与投票。民主党政策压制言论自由、限制枪支拥有和限制有效的投票权，这与我的价值观相悖。我相信特朗普的经济政策将使美国更加强大和繁荣。
特朗普：我感谢马斯克的支持。他的参与对我们的竞选至关重要。我们正在努力让美国再次伟大，马斯克的专业知识和资源将有助于实现这一目标。
