He urged voters to consider whether they wanted\u2062 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/byron-york-most-americans-dont-know-how-bad-the-border-crisis-is\/\" title=\"Byron York: Most Americans Don\u2019t Know How Bad the Border Crisis Is\">continue current policies<\/a> or seek change.<\/p>\n<p>Musk also responded humorously to a \u200crecent \u2062endorsement of Harris by Taylor Swift, joking about offering Swift a child and playfully referencing a controversial \u2064claim\u2063 made by Trump. The debate&#8217;s moderation faced criticism from others, including\u2064 billionaire Bill Ackman and Rep. Elise Stefanik,\u200c who highlighted perceived bias in how \u200dfacts were checked.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump supporter Elon Musk says Harris &lsquo;exceeded most people&rsquo;s expectations&rsquo; in debate<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1758438\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Billionaire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elon-musk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Elon Musk<\/a> contended that Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> &ldquo;exceeded most people&rsquo;s expectations&rdquo; during Tuesday night&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/debates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>debate<\/a>, though questioned why she would not enact the change she is campaigning on.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Similar to many others who watched the debate, Musk argued the moderators, ABC News&rsquo;s David Muir and Linsey Davis, were unfair toward former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a>.

Like many viewers, Musk criticized the moderators from ABC News, David Muir and Linsey Davis, for being biased against Trump.
