Elon Musk warned on Thursday that a clean Democratic sweep of the House, Senate and presidency in 2028 would turn America into a “permanent one-party state,” urging voters to back Republican senators in next week’s midterms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In posts on X, Musk said Democrats would respond to a 2028 sweep by making Washington DC and Puerto Rico states, legalising undocumented immigrants and expanding the Supreme Court. He argued that 51 Republican senators in 2029 would prevent that outcome, and told voters the midterms were the firewall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The warning came with new campaign finance filings showing Musk gave a further $76.8 million to his America PAC over the past month, taking his spending on the midterm cycle past $442 million, according to The Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The figures vary by outlet and counting window. Other reporting has put his spending since July at more than $276 million, with an overall total near $445 million, a reminder that headline totals depend on what is counted and over which period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is confirmed is Musk’s Thursday warning posts and the new $76.8 million filing as reported by The Hill. Characterisations of Musk as the largest individual donor in US history are one outlet’s description, not a fact established by the filings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The intervention matters because Musk is now the most visible billionaire voice in the closing days of the midterms, pairing record spending with a stark claim about the future of American democracy itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
