Tech billionaire Elon Musk, has claimed that the democracy and constitution of America might be on the line, saying this was why he delved into the country’s politics.
Musk added that America might no longer be America if he doesn’t step into the political scene.
The Tesla and X owner has publicly declared his support for the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the November 2024 America presidential election
Musk, in a video seen on Monday, said: “I would prefer not to be in politics at all. The reason that I stepped into the arena because I think the stakes are extremely fundamental, I think democracy is on the line, I think the constitution is on the line.
“I fear if Trump does not win, we are going to have a single-party state that is going to be worse than California.
“The one thing that keeps California from going even further is that people can move out of California and still be in America.
“But if you’ve got no place to move, then it’s going to be much worse than California, and that’s the danger that we face.
“An oppressive totalitarian state that has extreme restrictions on freedom of speech that continues extreme over-regulation that makes government even bigger than it is today and takes away the liberty of the people.
“It’s not something I wanted to do, but I thought it was critical to do it, or America is not going to be America.”
