Musk warns Democratic sweep could end US democracy
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 30 Oct, 20:32 · Archive
Elon Musk has warned that a Democratic sweep of Washington in 2028 could create a permanent one-party state.
Elon Musk has warned that a Democratic sweep of the White House and Congress in 2028 could result in the 'end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word'. The billionaire, who is pouring money into Republican campaigns, outlined three moves he fears Democrats would make to cement lasting political power.
Musk's concerns centre on Democratic statehood for Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico, which he argues would boost the party's Senate majority; legalising immigrants living in the country illegally, which he says would secure electoral advantage; and expanding the Supreme Court to secure an immediate majority. He described these outcomes as leading to 'America becoming a permanent one-party state'.
Musk argued that Republicans need to hold at least 51 Senate seats following the 2028 elections to prevent what he called these outcomes. His warning comes ahead of midterm elections as he continues to fund Republican campaigns.
