Elon Musk Warns of Democratic Sweep Risks and Urges Support for Republican Senate
Elon Musk expressed concerns that a Democratic sweep of the 2028 US elections could lead to a permanent one-party state, threatening the democratic system. He cited potential actions such as granting statehood to Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico, legalizing undocumented immigrants, and expanding the Supreme Court to secure Democratic dominance. Musk urged voters to support Republican senators to maintain at least 51 Senate seats and prevent this outcome. His statements were shared on his platform X ahead of the midterm elections.
