Elon Musk speaks as part of a campaign town hall in support of Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump in Folsom, Pa., on Thursday, Oct. 17.
"I think it’s something that law enforcement should take a look at," Shapiro said on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday."I’m not the attorney general anymore of Pennsylvania, I’m the governor, but it does raise serious questions."Musk announced the $1 million giveaway at an event in Harrisburg, Pa., on Saturday.
