(Dan Tri) - Tech billionaire Elon Musk believes that the 2024 election will be "America's last election" if former President Donald Trump does not win.

"Few Americans realize that if Trump is not elected, this will be the last election. He is not a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!", billionaire Elon Musk commented on social network X on September 28. The tech tycoon's statement came just over a month before the US election. Democratic presidential candidate and incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly called her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, a threat to democracy. "Let me explain: If 1 in 20 illegal immigrants became US citizens every year - which the Democrats are pushing as fast as possible - then there would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years," Musk said in response to a post claiming that 9 million illegal immigrants are eligible for citizenship under the current US administration's policies. “Furthermore, the Biden/Harris administration has sent asylum seekers, who are granted fast-track citizenship, directly to swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Arizona. This is how they are guaranteed to win every election,” he added. Given that swing states often decide the outcome of US presidential elections by less than 20,000 votes, Musk said that if Democrats succeed in using immigration to motivate their voters, there will be no more swing states. At that point, he said, the only election will be the Democratic primary, similar to what happened in California in the late 1980s. In recent months, Musk has repeatedly expressed his desire to serve on a government commission in a potential Trump administration. However, Trump has been skeptical that the billionaire will be part of his administration. He said the SpaceX and Tesla founder would likely be too busy to serve in his cabinet. Instead, he suggested that Musk could serve as an adviser in his administration if he wins the November election. Illegal immigration and the situation at the border have become major issues between Democrats and Republicans in the presidential election. Trump has criticized his Democratic rivals on immigration issues, condemning President Joe Biden's rollback of Obama-era immigration policies. Polls show public frustration with Democrats after a surge in undocumented immigrants and homeless people in major cities, straining social services under President Joe Biden. Democratic mayors have voiced concerns that their cities are struggling to cope with the influx. Immigration policy remains a key issue in Trump’s re-election campaign. He has pledged to complete the construction of a wall along the entire border and launch the largest deportation drive in U.S. history. Polls show that a majority of Americans support restricting immigration. Trump has said that on his first day back in the Oval Office, he will “end any open border policies of the Joe Biden administration.”
