Musk was waving a “terrible towel” to cheer on the Steelers at Acresure Stadium. He was in Butler, Pennsylvania, as former President Donald Trump returned to the town where he survived an assassination attempt over the summer. At one point, Musk joined President Trump on stage.

But if fans weren't near Musk's booth or the X during the game, they might have missed it. The broadcast primarily focused on the match, which had already been delayed by more than an hour due to local thunderstorms.
Brown wrote to X that it had a purpose.

“NBC has chosen not to have[Elon Musk]appear in the Cowboys-Steelers game,” he wrote. “Another reason not to vote. Media censorship is real and will only get worse unless it changes.”
He added, “This is not an accusation, it's the truth. Every time Taylor Swift appears in a game, it's on the air, but it's never even mentioned that she's in the game.”
NBC Sports did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
