Elon Musk is stepping up his public endorsement of Donald Trump, declaring during a Monday chat that he is “all in” on the Republican nominee for president.
The wealthiest person in the world utilized a pleasant two-hour conversation with Carlson to promote right-wing talking points, such as the danger to democracy if Democrat Kamala Harris wins in November, after joining Trump at a rally over the weekend.
“I think this is the last election we’ll have if Trump doesn’t win,” the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla told former Fox News anchor Carlson.
Musk, who has increasingly courted controversy in recent years, said he believed “illegals” — migrants — were being deliberately transported to a handful of key states, where if they are eventually granted citizenship, they would become Democrat voters.
“Now these swing-state margins are sometimes ten- twenty-thousand votes. So what happens if you put hundreds of thousands of people into each swing state?
“So my prediction is, if there’s another four years of a Dem administration, they will legalize so many illegals that… the next election there won’t be any swing states, and this will be a single-party country.”
The claims made by Musk, a South African, are typical fare on the right, which suggests that Democrats and immigrants are plotting together.
On the campaign trail, Musk is progressively taking on the role of a spokesperson for Trump, and it is said that he will be visiting several battleground states in the upcoming weeks.
He introduced a scheme over the weekend that pays people $47 for registering votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona, and Michigan.
The plan aims to imitate the prosperous referral networks that the South African-born businessman employed previously with his Tesla electric vehicles.
In his nearly two-hour chat with Carlson, in which the two men chuckled repeatedly at each other’s pronouncements, Musk said he had thrown his full backing behind fellow billionaire Trump.
“If he loses, it’s going to be hard for you to pretend you never supported him,” said Carlson.
“I’m like, all in, baby,” replied Musk.
“How long do you think my prison sentence is gonna be?” he chortled, laughing at the idea that the tables would turn against him under a Democratic administration. “Will I see my children? I don’t know.”
