In an exclusive interview with former Fox News hostTucker Carlson, billionaire Tesla and X owner Elon Musk on Monday (Oct 7) said that he would be thrown behind prison if former President Donald Trump loses to Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential elections next month.
"If he loses, I’m f—ed,” said Musk, as he spoke about the Republican nominee. The interview was broadcast on social media platform X.
“How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be? Will I see my children? I don’t know," said Musk.
Muskwas days back seen jumping in the air and endorsing Trump as the latter climbed the stage to address the rally in Pennsylvania, which was exactly the same place where he had survived the July 13 assassination attempt.
The 53-year-old is also known to have spent millions in a super PAC which backed the candidacy of Trump while constantly attacking Harris on X.
“I have no plausible deniability,” said Musk, as he spoke about the support he has extended to the 45th president.
“I’ve been trashing Kamala nonstop,” he stated, and later clarified that his criticism is aimed at “the machine that the Kamala puppet represents.”
While answering Carlson's question regarding how his life has been since he entered the world of presidential politics, Musk said, “It’s pretty fun.”
The billionaire, while speaking about why he decided to go “all in” for Trump, said, “My view is that if Trump doesn’t win this election it’s the last election we are going to have."
He further said that he is fearful that millions of migrants - who have been imported during the current administration - will be given citizenship eventually which will affect future votes permanently.

“My prediction is, if there is another four years of a Democratic administration, they will legalise so many illegals that the next election, there will be no swing states,” Musk predicted, and that there will be a “single-party rule.”
To support his statement, the owner of X cited the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act in which millions of migrants were granted amnesty in the country illegally.
“Thereafter, California turned very strongly Dem,” Musk said.
“You just need enough [new citizens] for there to not be swing states. I think we want to remain a democracy and we don’t want to become a one-party state,” he added.
“The people who are saying Trump is a threat to democracy are themselves a threat to democracy. One party-rule is not democracy," the billionaire emphasised.
