Elon Musk claimed Sunday that electing former President Donald Trump in November is the “only way” to save the country from the tyranny of Democrats and illegal migrants.

The billionaire SpaceX, Tesla, and X CEO claimed the Democratic Party would naturalize enough non-citizens as voters during a Kamala Harris presidency to turn the US into a “one-party state.”

    The only person you can trust with your car is the same person that tried to steal it from you.

      I remember the whole cave rescue and calling the rescue guy a pedophile. I feel like that was the moment people realized he was insane and not some real life Tony Stark

        That was the moment I realized he was either going to be Tony Stark or Lex Luther.

        And then he goes and proves me wrong by being worse than ever imaginable.

      When all else fails, just tell flat out lies.

      It’s the Roy Cohen way. He “educated” the weak, weird, old orange felon.

    This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.

    The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America.

    There are some other eye opening parts but this one jumped out at me. He really does see the world from only his viewpoint. He thinks California changed for the worse but he could leave to Texas and still influence California using money even though people chose a different form of government than what he wanted.

    For him, the collective choosing to change the system is very dangerous and it has to be forever in a status quo so rich people can play both sides.

    I honestly wish he was smarter than this.

    If you still bought a Tesla after Musk has shown his true self you are as much of a fascist as he is.

      Thank you for qualifying this. I bought one 6 years ago, back when he said he voted for Hillary and was a dick but not maliciously evil yet. I have the car and will never buy another from him. I never thought it would end up like this.

    This is a prime example of how big business can cozy up to authoritarianism. Of course in the name of offering a service to the nation or saving something precious to all, I guess it’s “democracy” in this instance. Deep down I think it’s about asking a simple question: which regime will be most accommodating to fulfilling my ambitions, i.e. sustaining and growing my business empire with the least amount of oversight or regulation? Who is more likely to be anti-union? Who is more likely to employ migrants without granting them political rights? Who is less likely to tax the rich? Who is more likely to give me more power to influence public opinion and public policy? Elon is, in some respects, correctly betting on Trump. Of course it is a risky bet, and a marriage of convenience; one will sooner or later lose favor with the other. It would probably be wiser of Musk to stay out of the limelight and play Democrats against Republicans whenever and however it suits him. But I guess he can’t help himself. To be honest I don’t even know whether it’s possible for a major business figure to remain neutral in a country where perhaps the best predictor of a presidential candidate’s success is the amount of donations their campaign receives.

      Someone didn’t learn from history, every fascist government to date, be it the Nazis, the Fascisti or even Franco have shown that the capitalist and the fascist work well together, after all the standard corporate structure already shares a model with fascist power structures (surprising how many people fail to realize that a top-down authoritarian structure with stark consequences for disobedience and that cultivate collective ignorance as to what you are doing and how it impacts people, that you systematically dehumanize), not just because the fascist power structure was literary built on the idea of the company structure of the time

    Man eel on musk is just so far down the rabbit hole these days it’s insane. It’d be fascinating to watch if it weren’t for the fact that he runs Twitter and is trying to use it to swing the election to Trump.
