Elon Musk Warns of Risks From Democratic Victory in 2028

Elon Musk sees threats in the Democrats coming to power in the US

Elon Musk has stated that a Democratic victory in the 2028 US presidential and parliamentary elections could lead to the long-term consolidation of their political majority. The entrepreneur has called on Americans to support the Republicans in the current Senate elections, describing the retention of at least 51 seats by the party in 2029 as the key condition for preventing such a scenario.

In a post on social media platform X on 30 October, Musk listed three possible steps which, in his view, the Democrats could take should they gain control of the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate simultaneously in 2028.

First, he mentioned granting statehood to the District of Columbia, where Washington is located, and to Puerto Rico. According to Musk, this would give the Democrats an additional advantage in the Senate.

The second proposed step he mentioned was opening the borders and legalising the status of all immigrants currently in the US illegally. Musk believes this could strengthen the Democrats’ electoral position in the long term.

As a third point, the entrepreneur suggested increasing the number of US Supreme Court justices, which, in his view, would enable the Democrats to quickly secure a majority.

Musk called for measures to prevent one-party dominance

Musk warned that, in his view, such a scenario would turn the US into a state under the permanent dominance of a single party and would undermine the democratic system.

As a way of preventing this, he suggested that Republicans retain at least 51 seats in the Senate in 2029. The entrepreneur urged voters to support Republican candidates for the upper house of Congress in the current elections, stating that this issue is more important than other political matters.

However, the steps outlined by Musk are presented in the article as a possible scenario, rather than a confirmed plan by the Democratic Party.

The next US mid-term elections will take place in November 2026. All 435 members of the House of Representatives and some members of the Senate will stand for re-election. The presidential election is scheduled for 2028.
