In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has thrown his support behind former US President Donald Trump. During the interview, Musk candidly expressed his concerns about a potential Trump loss in the upcoming elections, saying, “If [Trump] loses, I’m f*cked… How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be?”
Musk, who has been instrumental in providing Starlink satellite internet to disaster-hit regions like those affected by Hurricane Helene, voiced his belief that the outcome of the election could be a pivotal moment for the country.“If Trump loses, this is the last election,” Musk warned, claiming that the Democrats are bringing in illegal immigrants and relocating them to swing states.
When asked if he would continue supporting Trump if he wins, Musk affirmed, “Yeah, absolutely.”
The conversation also touched on US Vice President Kamala Harris. Musk recounted a moment when her teleprompter malfunctioned, leaving her to repeat words on a loop. “Kamala is gonna say whatever the teleprompter gonna say,” he said.
The discussion covered a wide range of topics, including vaccines, debates on anti-vaccination, and the deaths caused by diseases like smallpox. Musk emphasised that under a Trump administration, he believes they can “improve the liberty of Americans.”
Musk, despite being known as a physicist and engineer, addressed the role of religion in society, stating that the decline of religion has allowed what he termed the “woke mind virus” to take its place.
AI advancements were also on the agenda, with Musk highlighting how artificial intelligence is now capable of producing essays, music, and films with quality that surpasses most human creators.
