Tech billionaire Elon Musk predicted that if Kamala Harris wins the 2024 election, the Democrats’ plan to grant illegal immigrants “a pathway to citizenship” will secure a permanent “one-party rule.” The Tesla CEO warned his followers of the grim reality if Harris were to defeat former President Donald Trump.
“My prediction is that if Kamala wins, the Dems will import and legalize enough migrants to ensure a permanent one-party rule that is increasingly socialist (to a confiscatory level) and repressive,” Musk claimed. He added, “Everywhere will be California, but worse.”
“The one thing that gives California pause is that people can move to other states. What would happen if all states were ruled like California? Nowhere to move,” Musk continued.
Musk’s prediction followed an online exchange with the X account Whole Mars Catalog (WMC), during which he also warned that America would “fall to tyranny” if Trump is not reelected.
However, Paul Graham challenged Musk’s statement, writing, “If the Democrats controlling the White House will enable tyranny, why don’t they just do it now?” WMC responded by sharing a screenshot and stating, “Saying that Trump needs to be elected or it’s the end of the world just elicits eye rolls. Similarly, Democrats saying Kamala needs to be elected or it’s the end of the world also sounds silly.”
Musk replied with his prediction, and WMC followed up, saying, “They have said that they support a path to legalization, so you’re not wrong there.”
Musk also pointed to recent comments by Tim Walz, where he stated that there is “no guarantee” to “free speech” when it comes to “misinformation or hate speech.” Additionally, Musk criticized Hillary Clinton after she suggested that Americans should be jailed for spreading “misinformation.”
The SpaceX CEO is also reportedly under investigation by the Secret Service for a now-deleted post questioning the assassination attempt against Trump. “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala,” Musk wrote on X. He later followed up with another post, saying, “Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on X.”
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates responded to Musk’s comments, stating, “As President Biden and Vice President Harris said after yesterday’s disturbing news.”
