In a mix of humor and concern, Musk joked about the potential consequences for his outspoken support of Trump, asking, “How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be? Will I see my children? I don’t know.” The world’s richest man seemed to be suggesting that his political involvement, specifically his endorsement of Trump, could result in serious repercussions if the current administration prevails.

 

Musk’s endorsement of Trump became particularly prominent after the assassination attempt on the former president on July 13. He was seen alongside Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, just days after the attempt. The tech mogul has also reportedly invested millions into a super PAC supporting Trump’s candidacy, signaling a deepening involvement in the 2024 election. In addition, Musk has consistently attacked Harris on X, the social media platform he bought for $44 billion in 2022, further illustrating his loyalty to the Republican candidate. 

 

“I have no plausible deniability,” Musk admitted during the interview, addressing his unreserved support for Trump. He made it clear that he had been relentless in his criticisms, saying, “I’ve been trashing Kamala nonstop.” However, he later clarified that his anger was not so much directed at Harris herself but at the political system she represents. “The machine that the Kamala puppet represents,” Musk said, positioning his attacks within a broader context of dissatisfaction with the Democratic establishment.

 

When asked by Carlson about how his life has changed since he became more actively involved in presidential politics, Musk’s initial response was lighthearted: “It’s pretty fun.” But as the conversation turned more serious, the South African-born entrepreneur explained why he had decided to go "all in" for Trump. Musk shared his belief that if Trump does not win this election, it could mark the end of meaningful elections in the United States. 

 

"My view is that if Trump doesn’t win this election, it’s the last election we are going to have,” Musk warned, expressing concerns that the Harris-Biden administration's immigration policies could permanently alter the political landscape. He fears that millions of migrants who have entered the country during this administration could eventually be granted citizenship, which would significantly affect future elections. 

 

Musk argued that this influx of new citizens could turn crucial swing states solidly Democratic, leading to what he fears would be "single-party rule." To support his point, Musk referenced the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, which granted amnesty to millions of undocumented migrants. “Thereafter, California turned very strongly Dem,” Musk said, noting that the state, once a Republican stronghold, has consistently voted for Democratic candidates since the 1990s.

 

“You just need enough [new citizens] for there to not be swing states,” Musk continued, predicting a future where the Democratic Party has an unshakable hold on power. “I think we want to remain a democracy and we don’t want to become a one-party state,” he said, arguing that those who view Trump as a threat to democracy are, in his opinion, actually contributing to that very threat. 

 

"One-party rule is not democracy," Musk concluded, warning of the dangers of a political system where one party holds overwhelming power. As the election draws closer, Musk’s comments highlight his deep anxieties about the future political direction of the country and his belief that the outcome of this election could have lasting consequences for American democracy.

What hogwash …..now if he’s broken some laws he’s liable last I heard it’s leagle to support your candidate of choice.

The Republican party needs to get back on track if they want to be a significant power against the Dems. Get rid of toxic Trump and rebuild the Grand Old Party.

Don't worry Elon keep cozying up to Trump, and supporting him as much as you can, he really loves fealty, and you are doing a good job expressing it. If Harris is elected you might be subject to the ravages of the law, if indeed you're breaking the law.

The Republican party have presented their presidential candidate for amost a decade as Donald Trump.  'The grand old party' is in a rut. Perhaps someone like Elon Musk can shake it up. 

Anyone else see the hypocrisy of an immigrant trashing other immigrants? Maybe some native born US nationals resent the extremism and bigotry of a white male South African who led a comfortable and sheltered life in Canada.

Well, watching the "programme" presented by Trump, you get a fairly good impression of what it will involve.

Rounding up and deportation, ( starting on day 1) and based soundly on suspicions raised by colour and ethnicity, "legal" sanctions against non acquiescent media outlets, a highly politicised judicial system, mass dismissal of civil servants who fail to show loyalty to the leader, or whose loyalty is suspect (and very likely whose accusers fancy their jobs). The whole package under a Presidency relying on running out the deadlines under the electoral system to put him in power through a contingent election and or the courts.

 

It's all there in his admittedly garbled burblings!

Edited October 9, 20241 yr by herfiehandbag

“How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be? Will I see my children? I don’t know.” 

 

This is how newspaper articles can be misleading. These are all valid questions Elon is asking. They just have nothing to do with each other. I would ask him these back.

 

"Did you break the law?"

"Have you been seeing your children (the ones that haven't already expressed that they want nothing to do with him)?"

"With the misinformation you've been spouting and re-tweeting, do you understand much of what you write?"

 

Elon Musk might be the worlds first trillionaire, if he isn't already.

 

He is involved in some of the most important projects in the world.

 

And people believe this fake news.

 

People claim that conspiracies are crazy, when crazy fake news like this gets put out. 

 

 

He's right. The Dems have no morals and no policies so they always resort to lawfare against political opponents.

 

Fortunately he hasn't got to worry. Harris is a disaster and people are starting to see it.

That speaks loudly negative for the GOP. In other words, they're all desperate lunatics.

Elon Musk Fear of Jail if Kamala Harris Defeats Trump: "If He Loses, I’m F—ed!"

I'd be in favor of that, but I don't think that is going to happen. I do hope Trump will be put in jail or prison for his convictions. 

Can a naturalized U.S. citizen have their citizenship revoked?

 

 

Somebody tell Elon it’s not about him.

Yes, he is involved in some large and important projects. However, a large part of his success is owed to other people, particularly the people who have come up with the innovations that he makes his money on. Take Tesla for example. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning  created Tesla in 2003. Elon Musk provided fund raising and oversight, but did not create the innovation. That is not to detract from his accomplishments, but to point out that he is often credited for the visions of others. He is successful at the assumption of other people's genius and the execution of the details. In terms of making money he is one of the best. Unfortunately, as a human being he is not particularly nice. The man is obnoxiously arrogant and lacks the humility of people like Warren Buffet or Jamsetji Tata.

So do you have any comments on the economic plans that have been put forth by the Democrats? That's called "policy". It's well documented. Here's the link.

https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/building-a-stronger-fairer-economy/

 

https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/the-issues/jobs-and-the-economy/ 

 

Can you provide a link to the Republican's economic policy proposals, or are we still at the ol' "concept of a plan" stage?

But why look at the parties who are campaigning, why not get some sober non-partisan economic analysis of the plans put forth? Here:

 

https://www.crfb.org/papers/fiscal-impact-harris-and-trump-campaign-plans

 

Guess who adds an additional $4 Trillion dollars to the deficit with his plans compared to hers? How about how this affects the American taxpayers?

 

https://qz.com/donald-trump-tax-cuts-wealthiest-americans-tarrifs-1851667005

 

So it basically raises taxes on 95% of the populations while cutting taxes on the wealthiest 5%. That would benefit whom? Oh, DJT and his wealthy buddies like Elon. What a surprise.

 

Now tell us about how tariffs are an effective and fair tax measure.
