Vice Presidential Nominee Tim Walz called Musk Trump's \"running mate\" at a recent stop.\nOf course, many opinions are mixed on Musk's influence.\nPennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman, who supports Harris and won a hard fought contest in the commonwealth two years ago, underlines that Musk has a lot of appeal.\n\"I mean, to a lot of people, that's Tony Stark,\" he recently told the New York Times in reference to the “Iron Man” protagonist. \"That's going to really matter.\"\nAn overall focus on billionaires\nAnd the focus in the home stretch on the campaign trail extends beyond Musk to a wide array of billionaires.\nTrump at recent stops has brought up other prominent CEOs, saying Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook and Alphabet (GOOG) CEO Sundar Pichai have called him separately in recent days.\n\"Tim, I've got to get elected first,\" Trump said he told the Apple head about his concerns during a podcast interview with Patrick Bet-David.\nIt's unclear if those two tech CEOs are well-known enough to impact voters but Smith notes that his polling has found that, while billionaire name checks can be a negative for Republicans among independents, they can be a positive for Democrats like Kamala Harris who Trump constantly attacks as anti-business.\n\"Democrats highlighting the support of people like Mark Cuban and other business leaders helps assuage some of those fears,\" he said.\n\n\n\n  Mark Cuban after speaking at a campaign rally for Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris in La Crosse, Wis. on Oct. 17. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)\n \n\n  ASSOCIATED PRESS\n \n\nIndeed, his group's polling provides some evidence of that. One October poll asked voters about a potential message from Trump that began with \"Elon Musk is a fantastic guy.\"\nIt was the least popular among 14 messages they tested.\nBy contrast, a more recent poll released just this week brought up another billionaire, Mark Cuban, and his argument that Donald Trump would be bad for the economy and Harris would be good for it.\nIt was much more popular among the swing state voters who will decide the election next week.\nBen Werschkul is Washington correspondent for Yahoo Finance.\nEvery Friday, Yahoo Finance's Rachelle Akuffo, Rick Newman, and Ben Werschkul bring you a unique look at how U.S. policy and government affects your bottom line on Capitol Gains.

Musk has become a central player in Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, and Democrats hope to turn that into a weakness for the GOP nominee.\nThe top super PAC supporting Kamala Harris, Future Forward USA Action, produced the two ads that were in the heaviest rotation among all ads on swing state screens in the first three weeks of October, according to the ad trackers at AdImpact. \nThey both highlight Trump's links to Musk and other rich donors.\nOne of the ads features a shot of Musk in a tuxedo as a Pennsylvania voter says \"the 1% don't serve anybody but themselves.\"\nThe anti-Musk campaign also appears to be ramping up amid some evidence that the Tesla (TSLA) CEO's popularity has notable limits among undecided voters. \nThe group has produced an even more Musk-centric ad that ran during a Pittsburgh Steelers game on Monday night and is part of a reported $100 million final ad blitz by the outside group.\n\n\n\n  An image from a recently released ad produced by Future Forward PAC, which is allied with Vice President Kamala Harris\n \n\nOn Tuesday afternoon, the formal Harris campaign jumped in after Musk posted on X in agreement with a controversial idea: That it's possible \"markets will tumble\" if Trump wins as a result partly of Musk cutting government (before things equalize and the country emerges on a more solid footing). \n\"Sounds about right,\" Musk posted.\nHarris-Walz 2024 rapid response director Ammar Moussa responded with a statement saying in part \"listen to Trump’s billionaire backer and top surrogate Elon Musk [Trump would] tank our economy if he wins a second term.\"\n\"The Trump campaign has given Democrats a bit of a gift by highlighting Elon Musk,\" said Evan Roth Smith, a left-leaning pollster at Blueprint Interactive who has looked at the billionaire's impact.\nHe said the idea of Trump being \"a stooge for the wealthy and corporate America\" is a top performing message for Democrats among swing voters and it's a potential issue that “dislodges some of these [Nikki] Haley Republicans who are skeptical of his tax policy.”\nSmith has also polled on perceptions of Musk personally, focused on young male voters, and found that even this group's views of Musk were decidedly mixed.\nThe poll asked whether Musk's endorsement makes \"you more or less likely to support Trump?\" 24% of respondents answered more likely but slightly more, 28%, said less. A plurality of 45% said it would have no impact.\nThe results were even more stark among independent men of all ages, with 18% saying Musk moved them to Trump and 27% saying it moved them the other way.\nA non-scientific survey of Yahoo Finance users last week came to a similar overall result; 25% of respondents said Musk made them more likely to vote for Trump while almost 28% said he made them less likely.\nA focus on Musk in the home stretch\nFor Trump's part, he doesn't appear to be ratcheting down his Musk mentions at all.\nPraise for the CEO is a staple of rally appearances, and Musk was the final speaker Sunday before Trump's wife Melania took the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City.\nThat was an appearance where Musk spoke about his plans for a \"Department of Government Efficiency\" if Trump wins and claimed the effort could save the US $2 trillion. He offered no details about how he would find such savings, which would represent more than all discretionary spending in the US budget.\n\n\n\n  Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk exults as he steps on stage during a rally for Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden in New York on October 27. (ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images)\n \n\n  ANGELA WEISS via Getty Images\n \n\nIn addition to a possible role with Trump, Musk has been center stage on multiple other fronts in recent weeks in ways that could raise questions with voters.\nThere is growing evidence, in reports from both The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post released Tuesday, that the algorithm on Musk’s social media site X, formerly Twitter, is being tilted towards conservative voices.\nMusk also still faces questions about another WSJ report that he is \"in regular contact\" with Russian President Vladimir Putin.\nYet Musk has continued to command the spotlight with a steady stream of pro-Trump media posts and daily million dollar daily giveaways to registered swing state voters that is now the subject of a lawsuit from Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner.\nRead more: What the 2024 campaign means for your wallet: The Yahoo Finance guide to the presidential election\nThe mix of issues has led the Harris campaign to go out of its way in recent weeks to highlight Musk's role.
