Billionaire Elon Musk warned on X that a Democratic clean sweep of the House, Senate and presidency in 2028 would end democracy in any meaningful sense, calling the outcome game over for America.
Musk listed three moves he said Democrats would make if they won all three: admit Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico as states to gain a strong majority in the Senate; open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority; and increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
He wrote that the result would be America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word. He added that all that is needed to prevent it is 51 Republican senators in 2029, and urged voters to back Republican Senate candidates in the November 3 midterm elections.
Musk also told followers on X that he had cast an early ballot in Texas, and his warning landed days before the midterms, which will decide control of Congress for the final two years of President Donald Trump's term.
The warning comes as Musk has become the largest individual political donor in modern American history, spending more than $442 million backing Republican candidates and groups this cycle, including $158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, the super PAC supporting Republican Senate candidates.
A CBS News poll published October 25 projected Democrats could win 229 seats in the House, potentially regaining control of the chamber, while a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted through October 26 put Democrats ahead of Republicans by 53 percent to 44 percent on the generic congressional ballot.
Musk's claims are his own predictions, not confirmed Democratic plans: reporting on his posts noted he offered no evidence that Democratic leaders have committed to the steps he listed. Statehood bills for Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico have passed the House in earlier Congresses but never cleared the Senate, and the Supreme Court's nine seats are set by statute, which Congress can change.
