Governor Josh Shapiro confirmed on Thursday that he spoke with Elon Musk about potential investments in Pennsylvania after the billionaire executive spoke at the rally held by former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Shapiro explained to NBC News that Musk was attending a Pittsburgh Steelers game with entrepreneur Thomas Tull, who called the governor to connect him with the world’s richest man.
“Thomas and Elon were at the Steelers game together and called me about some ideas that Elon Musk has about investing in Pennsylvania, creating jobs, and economic opportunity, and was pleased to hear him talk about it,” said Shapiro.
