Elon Musk warns democracy 'could end' if Democrats win midterms

techOct 31, 202616914

Elon Musk warned that Democratic control of Congress and the White House would be "the end of democracy," while continuing to funnel heavy cash to Republican midterm efforts. Reporting says Musk has spent nearly $475 million to back Republicans in the midterms. His political vehicles include America PAC, which has run ads and spent millions against specific targets; one post notes the PAC spent nearly $28 million attacking Texas Democrat James Talarico. Commentary cited alongside the spending links Musk’s rhetoric to a frantic final push in the midterms and to broader concerns about private influence on critical infrastructure, given his control of Starlink. The combination of apocalyptic warnings and record-sized donations concentrates Musk’s influence in tight races and in public debate over election integrity and tech platforms.

"It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that Musk understands the stakes – that he has crossed the line, that there’s no going back, and that all that’s left is to pour hundreds of millions into the midterms in the hopes of staying out of jail."

Yes, it truly is Musk or Us.

Elon is the greatest welfare recipient ever. By far

Please for the love of god send that man to prison! Real prison. No internet for that fascist treasonous scumbag

Unless its state charges, any indictments will be put on hold until Jan 2028 due to the glaringly obvious guarantee of Trump pardons, paid for via crypto.

Elmo, a defense contractor, plays kissy face with Putin and the GOP doesn't see that as a problem

Musk today: Democratic control of Congress and the WH would be "the end of democracy". In 2024 America's biggest welfare queen revealed why he spent $290 million, and is now spending half a billion in midterms, to give Trump's GOP full control of Congress and the WH: "if he loses, I'm fucked."

Musk is such an arrogant asshat. Vote in record numbers and wipe that smug smile off his sorry-ass face.

Who said prison. It’s deportation

Not a joke. Deport this greedy asshole and tax his income. No more Musk subsidies in the billions.

The NYT keeps running a-critical headlines and stories like these. Despite Musk’s nonsense, there’s one party that has shown an aversion to democracy, and it’s not the Dems

elon is spending a healthy series B round worth of ducats on midterms. (aside: politicians are cheap & voters are awash in misinformation & disinformation…) www.cnn.com/2026/10/30/p...

Um... He's WAY deeper into this than a Series B. This is like a Series Z.

Given that these guys live on loans instead of selling shares (to avoid tax), it would interesting to know how he’s been financing these mega “donations”!

Elon Musk's super PAC, America PAC, is running an ad using the video of Trump directing RNC attendees to pledge allegiance to himself, "the greatest president in the history of the United States"

Dogshit ads all around. Musk is too dumb to realize consultants aren’t even trying at this point and just doing the cheapest ads they can make while pocketing his cash. He’s not quite as bad as the Uehliens but it’s close

Craig Cheslog2

Makes it easier to blame Trump for the outcome. Elon is not the political mastermind he believes he is.

“No one’s going to Ken Paxton’s rallies, so he’s canceling them and hoping Elon Musk will buy this seat for him,” Talarico said. “His only volunteers are AI robots. His only donor is Elon Musk. And his only rally attendees are reporters forced to cover an empty room.”

Some Republicans are completely finished with Trump too. Apparently, Elon Musk threatened death on Republican Steve Schmidt for his words. US Election Day can't come fast enough now. 😬 #Midterms

Elon Musk has now dumped about $446 million into the midterms, the most any individual donor has ever spent. His PAC alone has spent nearly $28 million attacking James Talarico. 💸 All that money and he still can't buy a country without trans people in it. Texas, you know what to do Tuesday.
