Tech billionaire Elon Musk admits that he’s risking a lot in his support for former President Donald Trump and said that he is “f***ed” if the Republican nominee does not win in the 2024 election, which he says could be “the last election.”
“If he loses, I’m f***ed,” he said with a laugh in a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson on Monday.
“How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be?” he asked Carlson and the off-camera producers, adding, “Will I see my children? I don’t know.”
The billionaire admits that he has been “trashing Kamala nonstop” and “the machine that she represents” as he likened her to being the “Kamala puppet.”
“Nobody tries to assassinate a puppet,” Musk quipped, suggesting the vice president was a facade of a larger “machine” running the government and Democratic Party.
Then Carlson is heard telling his producers, “OK, we gotta tape this.”
A producer is heard yelling back, “Yeah, we’re good.”
Musk then calmly answered Carlson’s following questions without as many blunt jokes, making it unclear whether he knew he was being taped during his earlier comments.
Musk has been a vocal critic of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, and President Joe Biden. He came out with his endorsement of Trump in July following the first assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“In my view, if Trump doesn’t win this election, this is the last election we’re going to have,” Musk said.
He added, “The Dem machine has been importing so many people. … They’re transferring illegals to swing states. … In some cases, it’s 700% in the last three years.”
“Swing states margins are 10, maybe 20,000 votes. So what happens when you import hundreds of thousands of people into each swing state?” he said, noting that this leads to getting a green card and often them voting “overwhelmingly Democrat” because of social handouts and programs.
“If there are four more years of another Dem administration, they will legalize so many illegals that are there, the next election there won’t be any swing states,” he said to Carlson.
The SpaceX and Tesla CEO did praise Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who recently called Musk after the Starlink executive accused the Federal Aviation Administration of blocking pilots who were helping get Starlink equipment into storm-ravaged parts of North Carolina.
“How was Buttigieg?” Carlson asked Musk.

“I want to give Buttigieg some credit here,” Musk responded. “When I complained about it, he acted about it in a very levelheaded way and reached out to me. He called me. We discussed the issue, got to the bottom of it, and he fixed it. So credit to Buttigieg. … As soon as he was aware of the problem, then he fixed it.”
The Carlson interview went almost two hours on various topics including Jeffrey Epstein, P. Diddy, California, the declining birth rate, vaccines, religion, the “woke mind virus,” and his view of a Trump administration’s future agenda.
