In a grave warning, billionaire tech executive Elon Musk joined forces with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, stating that the upcoming election will be the “last election” if Trump does not win. During a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Musk, clad in a black-on-black cap bearing the “Make America Great Again” slogan, painted a bleak picture of a future where democracy in America is at stake. He warned that if Trump does not secure the presidency, the country will face dire consequences.
Musk’s comments were a stark contrast to his typical calm and calculated tone, and his use of the phrase “Dark MAGA” seemed to acknowledge the foreboding nature of his remarks. The SpaceX founder and CEO of Tesla expressed his support for Trump, stating that the former president is the only candidate who can effectively preserve democracy in America. Musk also praised Trump’s stance on free speech, accusing Democrats of seeking to take away individuals’ rights, including their freedom of speech, right to bear arms, and right to vote.
Musk’s comments come on the heels of a recent surge in his support for Trump, with the billionaire tech executive creating a super political action group supporting the Republican nominee. The group has been actively engaged in get-out-the-vote efforts in key battleground states, a move seen as a significant boost to Trump’s campaign. Furthermore, Trump has publicly expressed his admiration for Musk, stating that he would tap the billionaire to lead a government efficiency commission if he regains the White House.

The rally, which took place at the same property where Trump was the target of an assassination attempt in July, drew a massive crowd of supporters. The event featured a rare public appearance by Trump, who has largely focused on his plans to cut government regulations and address illegal immigration in recent months. The rally also included appearances by Trump’s running mate, Republican Ohio senator JD Vance, and other high-profile members of the Trump campaign team, including son Eric Trump, daughter-in-law Lara Trump, and co-chair of the Republican National Convention.
Musk’s ominous warning of a potential “last election” serves as a stark reminder of the high stakes involved in the upcoming presidential election. As the campaign continues to heat up, Musk’s endorsement of Trump and his warning of dire consequences if Trump loses serve as a powerful endorsement for the former president’s campaign.
