In an exclusive interview with Tucker Carlson on Monday, October 7, billionaire Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of social media platform X, expressed his deep concerns over the upcoming U.S. presidential elections. During the interview, Musk hinted that he could face imprisonment if former President Donald Trump loses to Vice President Kamala Harris next month.
“If he loses, I’m f—ed,” Musk stated, referencing his strong endorsement of Trump. The interview, which was broadcast on X, saw Musk voicing fears over the consequences of a Harris victory. “How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be? Will I see my children? I don’t know,” Musk added, highlighting the gravity of his concerns.
Musk’s vocal support for Trump was evident days earlier when he was seen enthusiastically cheering at a rally in Pennsylvania, the same venue where Trump survived an assassination attempt on July 13.

Musk’s Political Involvement and Concerns Over Harris
The 53-year-old billionaire has been a significant financial backer of Trump, contributing millions to a Super PAC that supported Trump’s candidacy while attacking Vice President Harris through his platform, X. “I have no plausible deniability,” Musk stated, acknowledging his direct involvement in the political landscape. He admitted to frequently criticizing Harris, saying, “I’ve been trashing Kamala nonstop,” though he clarified that his criticisms target “the machine that the Kamala puppet represents.”
When asked by Carlson how life has changed for him since stepping into the political spotlight, Musk simply responded, “It’s pretty fun.”
Musk Explains His Full Support for Trump
Delving into why he decided to fully back Trump, Musk warned that a Trump defeat could mark the end of U.S. democracy as we know it. “My view is that if Trump doesn’t win this election it’s the last election we are going to have,” Musk stated, expressing fear over the potential long-term consequences of continued Democratic leadership.
Musk specifically raised concerns about the current administration’s approach to immigration. He warned that the mass legalization of undocumented migrants would alter the electoral landscape permanently, erasing swing states and leading to one-party rule. Citing the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, Musk highlighted how California shifted to a Democratic stronghold after millions of migrants were granted amnesty.
Musk argued that such a shift could undermine the democratic system. “The people who are saying Trump is a threat to democracy are themselves a threat to democracy. One-party rule is not democracy,” he emphasized.
