Summary
Elon Musk said a Democratic sweep of the White House and Congress in 2028 could create a “permanent one-party state,” urging voters to back Republican Senate candidates in the midterms.
In an X post, he cited three risks: statehood for Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, legalization of immigrants in the country illegally, and expansion of the Supreme Court.
Musk argued Republicans need at least 51 Senate seats after 2028 to block those moves; Fox News Power Rankings still show six Senate races deciding control, with Democrats' ceiling at 54 seats and Republicans' at 52.
America PAC told Fox News Musk gave $276 million to Republican groups in the past three months, including $158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund and $10 million to a PAC backing Texas candidate Ken Paxton.
The warning adds to Musk's growing political role ahead of the midterms, drawing criticism from Hillary Clinton, who accused him of trying to use his fortune to tilt the elections toward Republicans.
