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.”

      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.

    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

    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.

        …and when you’re rich, they let you do it 🧐

      I remember the whole cave rescue and calling the rescue guy a pedophile. I feel like that was the moment people realized he was insane and not some real life Tony Stark

        This right here. This was the turning point for me.

        I used to view him as a slightly eccentric billionaire using his funds towards positive progress… Boy howdy was I wrong.

        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.

        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.

        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.’

    Can we have that man forcibly removed from our country please? He’s already proven to be threat to our democracy. If he wants to say dumb shit like this, he can do so from far away where our taxes aren’t paying for the services he’s using to circumvent it.

      (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠メ⁠) Please, no! I don’t think anyone else wants him… we only have one Tesla factory in this country and it’s on the news on a regular base. And it’s never good news.

      Maybe we can try to make him want to sit in the next bar he sends to space himself

      When all else fails, just tell flat out lies.

      It’s the Roy Cohen way. He “educated” the weak, weird, old orange felon.

    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.

    Sounds like he is starting to panic, realizing that Donnies chances are slipping since the debate and his inability to gain traction since then
