Tech mogul Elon Musk is taking a big gamble by throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump for the 2024 election. In a revealing conversation with Tucker Carlson, Musk humorously acknowledged just how much he has riding on this political bet by suggesting he’d be ‘f***ed’ if Trump fails to win. With an exaggerated laugh, he indicated that the stakes couldn’t be higher, as he regarded this election as potentially the last bastion for conservative values in America.
In the back-and-forth interview, Musk didn’t mince words about his disdain for Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he described as something of a puppet—a mere stand-in for a deeper, entrenched Democratic machine. He jested that no one attempts to “assassinate a puppet,” underscoring his belief that Harris is just a figurehead manipulated by more powerful political interests. It’s hard not to appreciate the wit in Musk’s observation, especially when considering the Vice President’s often criticized performance in office.

Musk’s endorsement of Trump comes amid rising concerns about the Democratic Party’s approach to immigration and local elections. He pointedly remarked on how the Dems have been bringing in large numbers of immigrants to swing states, potentially altering the electoral landscape in a way that could doom Republican prospects. According to Musk, when states that previously swayed either way suddenly receive an influx of new voters—many of whom are likely to vote Democrat due to liberal policies—Republicans could find themselves in a real pickle. The numbers he cited are staggering, claiming increases of up to 700% in certain areas, pointing to a calculated strategy to undermine the very foundation of American democracy.
Musk, suggesting that another four years of a Democratic administration could lead to a complete lack of competitive swing states, is striking a nerve among conservatives. The vision of a future where red states turn blue due to waves of new voters is enough to make any Republican’s blood run cold. If Musk is to be taken seriously, Trump’s 2024 campaign isn’t just about winning; it’s about preserving a political landscape where conservative values can thrive.
While Musk may have his sights set on the future, he also took a moment to commend Biden’s Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, for his cooperation in addressing issues with Starlink’s deployment in disaster-stricken areas. This rare olive branch to an opponent might jolt some conservatives, but it also shows Musk’s pragmatic side—he’s not above giving credit where it’s due, even if it’s from the other side of the aisle.
The Carlson interview ran the gamut from serious political strategy to lighthearted banter, suggesting Musk is willing to engage in various important issues, including the absurdities of the “woke mind virus” and even matters like declining birth rates. With less than a year until pivotal elections that could define America’s trajectory, Musk’s take on the current political landscape could serve as a rallying cry for Republicans who feel the urgency to act before it’s too late.
