Billionaire Tesla and X boss Elon Musk suggested Monday that he will end up behind bars if Vice President Kamala Harris beats former President Donald Trump in next month’s election.
“If he loses, I’m f—ed,” Musk told Tucker Carlson of the Republican nominee in an interview broadcast on X.
“How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be?” the world’s richest man quipped. “Will I see my children? I don’t know.”
Musk endorsed Trump in the wake of the July 13 assassination attempt against the former president, and appeared alongside the GOP nominee Saturday at his rally in Butler, Pa., – the site of the attempt on his life.
The 53-year-old has also reportedly poured millions into a super PAC backing Trump’s candidacy, while hammering Harris on X – the platform Musk purchased for $44 billion in 2022.
“I have no plausible deniability,” Musk said of his vehement backing of the 45th president.
“I’ve been trashing Kamala nonstop,” he added, later clarifying that his criticism is actually directed at ““the machine that the Kamala puppet represents.”
When asked by Carlson what his life has been like since wading into the world of presidential politics, Musk said, “It’s pretty fun.”
However, the South Africa-born billionaire turned serious when asked why he decided to go “all in” for Trump.
“My view is that if Trump doesn’t win this election it’s the last election we are going to have,” Musk said, explaining that he fears millions of migrants that the Harris-Biden administration “has been importing” will eventually be granted citizenship and tip future votes permanently.
“My prediction is, if there is another four years of a Democratic administration, they will legalize so many illegals that the next election, there will be no swing states,” he predicted, forecasting that will lead to “single-party rule.”
To back his stance, Musk cited the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, which granted amnesty to millions of migrants in the country illegally.
“Thereafter, California turned very strongly Dem,” he said.
The Golden State voted for Republican presidential candidates in every election between 1968 and 1988 – and has backed none since.
“You just need enough [new citizens] for there to not be swing states,” Musk said.
“I think we want to remain a democracy and we don’t want to become a one-party state,” he continued. “The people who are saying Trump is a threat to democracy are themselves a threat to democracy.
“One party-rule is not democracy.”
