Telsa CEO Elon Musk took to X to blast ABC moderators following last night’s debate between former president Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, adding to mounting criticisms of the network’s ‘bias’.
Musk, who acknowledged that Harris performed far better than expected, said, “While I don’t think the debate hosts were fair to [Trump], [Harris] exceeded most people’s expectations tonight.”
“That said,” he added, “when it comes to getting things done, not just saying nice-sounding words, I strongly believe that Trump will do a far better job.”
“If Kamala can do great things, why hasn’t she? Biden rarely shows up for work, so she’s basically in charge already,” Musk continued, reiterating the former president’s closing statement in the ABC debate.
“The question comes down to this: do you want current trends to continue for 4 more years or do you want change?”
During the debate, Harris attempted to rattle Trump by referencing the size of his rallies and highlighting his ongoing legal battles.
Trump fired back with accusations about Harris’s immigration policies and sounded the alarm about the millions of illegal migrants entering the country under her watch.
Harris maintained a somewhat composed demeanor while shaking her head and grinning in response to Trump’s assertions.
Harris, at one point, could be seen mouthing “that’s not true” when Trump labeled her a “Marxist.”
The debate took a viral turn when Trump highlighted reports about illegal migrants in Ohio eating pets and local wildlife.
“They’re eating the pets of the people that live there,” he stated.
“If she becomes president… we’ll end up being Venezuela on steroids.”
Harris dismissed the comment as “extreme” and even laughed.
Critics, including RFK JR., pointed out that ABC News moderators fact-checked Trump’s statements while allowing Harris to make unchallenged claims.
The glaringly obvious bias did not go unnoticed by conservative viewers.
Josh Bronitsky, former chief speechwriter for Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr, acknowledged that Harris performed better than expected, but Trump’s “standout” moments and “cracker-barrel wit” highlighted.
Alfredo Ortiz of the Job Creators Network criticized Harris for relying on “cliched talking points, accusing her of ducking her “failed liberal record.”
