Tech trillionaire Elon Musk on Friday baselessly warned that American democracy will come to an “end” if Democrats win back the House and Senate and elect a president in 2028, making a final fear-laden midterms push for President Donald Trump and the GOP.
“This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word,” Musk wrote Friday on X. “All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029.”
He continued, “That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election.”
Musk has quietly become the biggest known donor in the midterms, spending more than $446 million to save Republican majorities in Congress, and tried hard Friday to argue that voting for Democrats in the democratic process of elections would destroy democracy.
The X owner claimed Friday that his “biggest concern” is three-fold, arguing Democrats would turn Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., into U.S. states, expand the Supreme Court and “legalize everyone living in America illegally” to “gain a strong majority” of voters.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO wrote in another post, “It would be game over for America.”
Musk notably became a special government employee under Trump last year and oversaw the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (or DOGE), helping gut key agencies such as the Department of Education — in a stated effort to slash wasteful public spending.
Musk, whose companies receive billions in federal contracts, has been accused of gutting regulatory agencies that were investigating his businesses — and seemed concerned earlier this month that lawmakers could investigate him should Democrats sweep the midterms.
The trillionaire tech CEO previously claimed ahead of the 2024 election that U.S. democracy would end if Trump didn’t win. Musk notably spent more than $250 million to help reelect the MAGA leader, who later paraded his line of Tesla vehicles on White House grounds.
The duo briefly broke last year when Musk announced Trump is featured in government files related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but has since returned to his good graces and is providing the Trump administration with access to his Starlink network of satellites.
Those services were mysteriously slowed recently in Ukraine amid Russia’s ongoing invasion, with Musk’s eventual confession that he was behind it only adding to the litany of scandals from the administration ahead of the midterms — which could spell disaster for Trump.
The president is facing dire approval ratings amid a nationwide affordability crisis he has frequently dismissed and exacerbated with his war on Iran. Former Trump supporter Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), however, suggested on X that the GOP deserves its likely drubbing.
The former MAGA Republican, who was ousted alongside former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) by Trump and his loyalist supporters over their steadfast calls for transparency in the Epstein case, made sure to argue as much in a direct comment to Musk.
“What’s coming was avoidable, but Republicans in Congress let Trump start a war, increase spending, arm a genocide, betray MAHA, and cover up for Epstein’s coconspirators,” he wrote. “I was ousted with over $30 million of foreign lobby money for refusing to go along, and here we are.”
