After appearing with Mr. Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on October 5, billionaire shared his views on the upcoming US presidential election, including what he considered a threat to democracy in the event of a victory by US Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a nearly two-hour conversation with a Fox News host on October 7 (US time), Mr. Musk affirmed that he fully supports Mr. Trump.
Responding to the host’s point that in the event of Mr. Trump’s loss, it would be difficult to deny what Mr. Musk had done to support the 78-year-old former president, the Tesla CEO affirmed that he was betting completely on Mr. Trump’s victory with great confidence.
In addition, Mr. Musk also joked about the possibility that he could get into trouble or even go to jail if wins after the election.
âIf Trump loses, Iâm done. How long do you think my prison sentence will be? Will I get to see my kids? I donât know,â Musk jokingly asked on television.
Regarding the US election issue, Mr. Musk believes that illegal immigrants are being intentionally brought to key states, where they will be granted citizenship and become Democratic voters.
Mr. Musk affirmed that if Mr. Trump does not win this election, this will be the last election in America.
âThe difference between the two candidates in the battleground states is currently around 10,000 – 20,000 votes. So what happens if you put hundreds of thousands of people in each battleground state?â Mr. Musk questioned.
According to Mr. Musk’s prediction, if the Democrats stay in power for another four years, they will grant citizenship to so many illegal immigrants that there will be no battleground states left in the next election.
Mr Musk, otherwise Mr Trumpâs running mate in the final days of the campaign, may be planning stops in several other battleground states next week.
