The Democratic Party could turn the United States into a de facto one-party state if they succeed in boosting their electorate in swing states by increasingly providing citizenship to illegal immigrants, tech mogul Elon Musk has argued.
This statement comes as the US election is just over a month away, with rhetoric on both sides becoming more heated. Democratic nominee and incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly called her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, a threat to democracy.
Musk, who endorsed Trump in July, claimed that the opposite is true in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.
“Very few Americans realize that if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!” he stated.
“Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year – something the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible – that would be about 2 million new legal voters in four years,” Musk said in reply to a post claiming that 9 million illegal immigrants are eligible for citizenship under the current US administration.
“Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying ‘asylum seekers,’ who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election,” he added.
With swing states often determining US elections by a margin of fewer than 20,000 votes, Musk claimed that if the Democrats succeed in using immigration to boost their electorate, there will be no more swing states. The only elections thereafter would be Democratic primaries, similar to what occurred in California in the late 1980s, he said.
“America then becomes a one-party state, and democracy is over,” Musk concluded.
