This year’s election will be America’s last, if Donald Trump loses, Elon Musk has claimed
Elon Musk, the tech mogul, has argued that the Democratic Party could transform the United States into a one-party state if they successfully increase their voter base in swing states by granting citizenship to illegal immigrants at an accelerated pace.
This statement comes just over a month before the US election, with escalating rhetoric from both sides. Democratic nominee and current Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly labeled her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, a threat to democracy.
Musk, who endorsed Trump in July, asserted the opposite on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.
“Very few Americans realize that if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!” he stated.
“Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year – something the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible – that would be about 2 million new legal voters in four years,” Musk said in response to a post claiming that 9 million illegal immigrants are eligible for citizenship under the current US administration.
“Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying ‘asylum seekers,’ who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election,” he added.
With swing states often deciding US elections by a margin of fewer than 20,000 votes, Musk claimed that if the Democrats succeed in using immigration to expand their electorate, there will be no more swing states. He predicted that subsequent elections would be solely Democratic primaries, mirroring the situation in California during the late 1980s.
“America then becomes a one-party state, and democracy is over,” Musk concluded.
Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.
Musk announced in July that he would be shutting down the X offices in San Francisco, stating that he’s “had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building.” X’s relocation to Texas coincided with numerous prominent business departures amid the city’s well-documented homelessness, drug, and crime epidemic.
Illegal immigration and the border situation have become major points of contention between Democrats and Republicans in this election cycle. Trump has criticized his Democratic opponents on immigration issues, condemning President Joe Biden’s reinstatement of the Obama-era ‘catch and release’ policy, which he claims enables the release of convicted criminals among illegal immigrants into the US.
