Billionaire Elon Musk issued a stark warning to voters if Democrats sweep the chambers of Congress and the presidency in 2028, saying it could lead to the "end of democracy." Musk's message comes just four days ahead of the midterm elections, where Democrats are favored to take the House and face a competitive battle to flip the Senate. In his post to X early Friday morning, Musk laid out his three concerns. The first, he says, Democrats will make Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia states, in an effort to achieve a strong majority in the Senate.
Secondly, Musk warned that Democrats would open the borders and "legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority." Lastly, Musk said Democrats would increase the size of the Supreme Court in an effort to gain an immediate majority. "This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word. All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029.
That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one," Musk concluded in his post. Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban reacted to Musk's post on X saying: "I’m against all of these.
The new force in politics and elections is independents. The fact independents are NOT an organized party, means we can individually do what we think is right, without regard to party politics. That is a force we have not seen before.
And it is only growing as we all become increasingly disgusted by party politics. Pushing these would backfire on Democrats," Cuban said. This is not the first time the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has made a fourth quarter election warning.
During the 2024 presidential election, Musk said that if President Donald Trump lost his race to then Vice President Kamala Harris, it would have been the last election for Americans due to immigration that would have turned the U.S. into a "single party country." Midterm elections are commonly viewed as a test of the political environment facing the party in power, and the president's party has historically lost seats during them. Trump's overall approval rating and ranking on specific policy issues like the economy, immigration, jobs and the ongoing war in Iran have recently slipped as households across America are consistently flagging affordability concerns. The polling lows come as Trump has crisscrossed the country in the lead-up to November 3, to rally for potentially vulnerable GOP candidates.
