The billionaire SpaceX, Tesla, and X CEO claimed the Democratic Party would naturalize enough non-citizens as voters
Naturalized non-citizens like... Elon Musk?
And why would the Democratic Party need new voters if there won’t be any more elections?
Hey hey no logic allowed here
Well ackschuallllly what he meant was that no other party will stand a chance so it will effectively be a one party system as so many "liberal" immigrants will become citizens that they'll outnumber Republicans everywhere.
Even if that were true, which is truly ridiculous, new factions would pop up. If it swayed so far left that the Democrats always won, all the further left people would demand all the things they've been left without just to keep fascists from winning.
Basically, it would just be a leftward shift of the Overton window, which is LONNNG overdue. But it certainly wouldn't be the end of elections, that's stupid.
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.
Can we deport this shit stain to Mars yet?
These fucking people, nothing but projection.
"no u" declares world's most mature man.
“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Voting Trump is the only way to save democracy”

Says the emerald mine nepo-baby from Apartheidland.
Can we just banish this South African immigrant? He can enjoy his home country and fuck right off with his authoritarian bs.
Elon getting so insane that if you simply do the opposite of what he says you will make the world better.
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.
Paging Pepperridge ~~mint~~ Farms.
Remember when trump said if he won they'd never have to vote again?
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.
Put Space-X into a form of receivership first though. National interests must be protected.
When all else fails, just tell flat out lies. It's the Republican Way!
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
Oh no you guys, Ketamine Karen is speaking, we should all listen to the 'genius'. LOL! Fuck off elon!
funny. he also said if he wins there wont be anymore elections. so in the vision of the maga tards no more elections. did the simpsons have that?
He realizes his whole business is government contracts and he's backed a loser.
He doesn't actually believe this nonsense he spews, just like all the other conservative propagandists.
The problem is all the people that believe this idiocy. One of progressives biggest hurdles should be to drastically improve education to teach logic and critical thinking skills at a young age. This would be a cure to a lot of this dumbest of dumb propaganda. It's just so stupid it's obvious. But many people will actually believe it, and spread it.
Unfortunately, we're losing. Public education is not getting better, funding is being cut, and tax money is in some places starting to go to religious private schools. This is all being pushed by conservatives. Keeping the populace stupid is how they stay in power, and wealth.
If you still bought a Tesla after Musk has shown his true self you are as much of a fascist as he is.
Thank you for qualifying this. I bought one 6 years ago, back when he said he voted for Hillary and was a dick but not maliciously evil yet. I have the car and will never buy another from him. I never thought it would end up like this.
And here I didn't think I could hate this guy any more. Truly a vile piece of shit. I'm glad I never bought one of his cars and well he's at that company, I never will.
African Immigrant says what now?
This is a prime example of how big business can cozy up to authoritarianism. Of course in the name of offering a service to the nation or saving something precious to all, I guess it’s “democracy” in this instance. Deep down I think it’s about asking a simple question: which regime will be most accommodating to fulfilling my ambitions, i.e. sustaining and growing my business empire with the least amount of oversight or regulation? Who is more likely to be anti-union? Who is more likely to employ migrants without granting them political rights? Who is less likely to tax the rich? Who is more likely to give me more power to influence public opinion and public policy? Elon is, in some respects, correctly betting on Trump. Of course it is a risky bet, and a marriage of convenience; one will sooner or later lose favor with the other. It would probably be wiser of Musk to stay out of the limelight and play Democrats against Republicans whenever and however it suits him. But I guess he can’t help himself. To be honest I don’t even know whether it’s possible for a major business figure to remain neutral in a country where perhaps the best predictor of a presidential candidate’s success is the amount of donations their campaign receives.
I love this petty fatalism, like more immigrants voting is the apocalypse and the Republic Party can't possibly just... accommodate that? And adapt?
Same with a 51st state.
If they don't like it, well, they can lose more elections.
i don't understand why he is doing this
Money.
His twitter money is from Russia, they make him say this shit to destabilise the election
Techno fascist says what?
Why aren't those clowns laughed out of the room as soon as they open their mouths?
.... so he wants to avoid creating a "one party state" ... by electing someone who openly wants to develop a one party state
Lol. This guy is probably also upset that people pay more attention to taylor swift than to him.
Man eel on musk is just so far down the rabbit hole these days it’s insane. It’d be fascinating to watch if it weren’t for the fact that he runs Twitter and is trying to use it to swing the election to Trump.
Lolol. For HIS ass. Watch all these worms try to expatriate their money and businesses to Russia before the "librals terx my sterks".
Fuck you, Elon. I hope all the bad shit you're bringing upon yourself ends up being the worst outcome it could possibly be.
I honestly can't figure out if he's drinking the kool aid or trying to pour it.
