“I’m all in, baby!” the billionaire replied. “If he loses, I’m screwed…” he adds, laughing.
During the interview, Elon Musk also accused the Democratic camp of transporting, according to him, “illegal” migrants to a handful of key states so that they would eventually obtain American citizenship and vote Democratic.
“Today, these gaps in key states are sometimes 10,000, 20,000 votes. So what happens if you put hundreds of thousands of people in every key state? he said.
The billionaire’s allegations are a common leitmotif among the American conservative right, which tends to exaggerate the number of people who obtain political asylum in the United States.
Some 54,000 people were in this case in 2023, according to official figures, while the total population of the United States exceeds 330 million.
