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.”

        If that’s true, it’s more than money. If you take money from the mafia and don’t deliver, it’s about your life. That could be one of the many reasons he tried to back away from the purchase. I don’t get why CIA isn’t all over this.

        And it’s not just about the election. They’re trying to destabilize everything in the west.

          Yep, every single right-wing party gaining traction in Europe, every single one, has connections to Russia. Im the case of Germany, left- and right-wing.

        I think before then he had a good PR team. That was the moment when he thought ‘What am I paying these guys for, I could do this just fine myself.’

        Yup I feel the same way, like that was the moment he snapped or the crazy finally came out. Before I was a big fan, but it went downhill from there pretty fast. Though I’ve heard him on the Lex Friedman podcast like a year ago, and then he came across pretty sane - he just acts insane a lot of other times as well.

        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.

        Well ackschuallllly what he meant was that no other party will stand a chance so it will effectively be a one party system as so many “liberal” immigrants will become citizens that they’ll outnumber Republicans everywhere.

          Even if that were true, which is truly ridiculous, new factions would pop up. If it swayed so far left that the Democrats always won, all the further left people would demand all the things they’ve been left without just to keep fascists from winning.

          Basically, it would just be a leftward shift of the Overton window, which is LONNNG overdue. But it certainly wouldn’t be the end of elections, that’s stupid.

            And that right there is why we need a sweeping blue victory. Kill off the crazy GOP of today, and let the left split into true left, and more traditional conservatives, or even center.

      Sweet Jesus, I wish that Democratic voters and politicians were unified enough that if we had a solid majority in this country that we could be considered a one-party state. Even if we somehow did manage to finagle things such that we won the next election 60-40 or more, it’s obvious to anyone with a brain that we would immediately celebrate by turning on each other like dogs. The neolibs can’t stand the hippies. The hippies can’t stand the tech liberals. Most of the people pushed left by identifying with one oppressed minority group or another are in a coalition approximately as stable as the Balkans in 1913.

      Democrats’ favorite activity is infighting. We like it more than winning elections. The times when we actually manage to get our shit together enough to win are the exception to the rule.

    Fascists like elon musk don’t just lie, they exactly invert the truth.

    He knows that trump winning ends democracy, so he goes into fascist mode and says the opposite. They do it all the time.

        Projection. Goes great (puts on monocle) Pairs well with obstruction and gaslighting.

    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.

    Every GOP accusation is projection. If Trump is elected, this will be the last election. Trump says so himself:

    “Speaking to the faithful, the Republican nominee repeated his ominous prediction, promising, “You know what, It’ll be fixed! It will be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians,” he said as he shook his head and placed his hand on the pledge position on the left side of his chest.” source
