“If (Donald) Trump loses, this is the last election,” warned billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, ramping up his support for the former US President.

In an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, streamed on Tuesday (October 8), Musk said he is “all in” on the Republican Presidential candidate for the 2024 US elections.

Musk’s nearly two-hour chat with Carlson came after the former appeared alongside Trump at a weekend rally in Pennsylvania. During the chat, the two men chuckled repeatedly at each other’s pronouncements.

Musk said he had thrown his full backing behind Trump.

“My view is that if Trump doesn’t win this election, it’s the last election we’re going to have,” he said.

“If he loses, it’s going to be hard for you to pretend you never supported him,” Carlson said.

“I’m like, all in, baby,” replied Musk.

Expressing his concerns about a potential Trump defeated in the November 5 elections, Musk said, “If (Trump) loses, I am f**ked. How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be?” poking fun at the idea of how the tables would turn against him under a Democratic administration.  

“Will I see my children? I don’t know,” Musk said.

Elon Musk is all in.

Also, at Trump’s recent Pennsylvania rally, Musk had expressed his support for the former president. The Tesla CEO got on the stage amid loud cheers, joking he is “not just MAGA, I’m dark MAGA.”  

‘Democrats will be single-party if…’ 

During the conversation with Carlson, Musk said he believes “illegals” or migrants were being deliberately transported to some of key States, where if they are eventually granted citizenship, they would become Democrat voters.

“Now these swing-state margins are sometimes ten- twenty-thousand votes. So what happens if you put hundreds of thousands of people into each swing State?” Musk said.

“So my prediction is, if there’s another four years of a Dem administration, they will legalise so many illegals that… the next election there won’t be any swing states, and this will be a single-party country,” Musk further said.

Will Musk support Trump if he wins?

When asked if he would continue to support Trump if he wins, Musk affirmed, “Yeah, absolutely.”

Over the weekend, Musk offered $47 to every registered voter in the US who refers others to sign a petition supporting free speech and the right to bear arms. The programme is exclusively for registered voters living in swing states.

“For every person you refer who is a swing state voter, you get $47! Easy money,” Musk said in a post on X.
