U.S. is ‘toast if the radical left wins’ – Musk

Elon Musk has warned that the United States would face serious decline if Democrats regain control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections, while indicating he is prepared to heavily fund Republican candidates.

The billionaire made the comments in response to a post on X claiming he was backing Republicans to help President Donald Trump reassert control in Congress, saying the country would be “toast if the radical left wins.”

Musk claimed a Democratic victory would lead to unchecked illegal immigration and widespread fraud, arguing the country would no longer resemble America as it is today. His remarks follow reports from Axios that he has already written large cheques to Republican campaigns and plans to continue donating significant sums throughout 2026.



The comments come as Republicans have suffered a number of losses to Democrats in recent special elections, including in traditionally safe seats. Polling has also suggested a decline in support for Trump during his second term.

Musk was a key financial backer of Trump during the 2024 election, donating hundreds of millions of dollars and later taking on a senior role leading the federal Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). That relationship soured last year after Musk publicly criticised Trump’s major spending legislation, stepping down from the role and exchanging sharp personal attacks with the president.

Relations between the two appear to have improved in recent months. Trump and Musk have been seen together publicly, and US media reports say they now speak occasionally by phone.

  1. Its toast of they keep voting for globalists, on the fake left or right, sunshine. Now go back to making electric cars and shut your trap.

    Isn’t that nice. He gets rich through government loans and subsidies, and he donates back to their election campaigns.

    How many dumb dumb New Zealanders use his starlink, therefore endorsing his fascistic operations.

    • Those dumb New Zealanders use his Starlink because there is not anything else to use in many regions because this country is dumb and not New Zealanders. Go buy some Mandy’s.

      • No. You use it because you dont give a f.
        Get some balls.

        Slow internet getting you down? No worries, just prop up the guy who is a major part of the technocratic control grid.

        Good thinking. Who doesn’t love their servitude
