"I mean, [Musk] is incredibly successful, and, you know, I think some people would see him as, like, a Tony Stark," said Fetterman, referencing the popular Marvel Comics character.

In an interview with CNN, Fetterman added, "Endorsements, they’re really not meaningful often, but this one is, I think. That has me concerned."
