Tucker Carlson Warns Elon Musk 'Will Be Destroyed' if Kamala Harris Wins

Elon Musk "will be destroyed" if Kamala Harris wins the 2024 election, according to Tucker Carlson.

Speaking with former President Donald Trump's White House strategist, Steve Bannon, on War Room on November 4, the day before the presidential election, the former Fox News host said that given Musk's position as a federal contractor, he has "the most to lose" by backing Trump.

"I mean, Elon Musk joked to me, and he has, I think, many times, that he's going to go to prison if Trump loses," Carlson said.

"I don't know if he's going to prison but he'll be destroyed for sure, and he's doing it anyway, so that gives a lot of different people heart."

Musk holds over $3 billion in government contracts from his companies, SpaceX and Tesla. During this election, he has been an active Trump supporter, surrogate, and strategist.

He has spoken at Trump rallies and actively posted to his X (formerly Twitter) platform in favor of Trump. He also initiated a lottery prize for registered voters in swing states, monetarily rewarding them for signing a petition on the First and Second Amendments. The Justice Department is investigating this lottery.

Carlson spoke to Bannon about what Trump will do and who will rally around him if either side contests the 2024 election results.

Carlson said he believes that if the election is contested, Trump will have more people supporting him in 2024 than he did in 2020 because people like Elon Musk have a lot on the line and will, therefore, work harder to ensure a Trump victory.

"You see people with a lot to lose on Trump's side, and they've said so publicly, and they're marked for destruction if this doesn't work, so they will be at Trump's side in the aftermath if this is contested," he said.

He added, "I'll pray that it isn't [contested], you know. I think all of us do, on both sides, pray that it's not contested, but if it is it's not going to be Trump out alone..."

Bannon was released from prison last week after serving a four-month sentence for two counts of contempt of Congress after not responding to a House Select Committee-issued subpoena investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Since returning from prison, Bannon has spoken to Newsweek about his election predictions, saying he is 100 percent certain of a Trump win.

    Elon Musk would be on Kamala Harris’ cabinet, amongst a coalition of rivals. Because the most important thing to do with power is give it to the people you say are ideologically opposed to you. This is why they’re throwing the election to Trump as the most efficient application of this methodology

    heartbreaking

    The single biggest lie Donald Trump has exposed is that this is a functional democracy

    Its a country oppressed by a small group of it’s citizens

    Donald Trump will return this country to it’s owners

    I wonder if Musk is earnestly this stupid, or if he's just trying to win people over to Trump.

    Yes, Kamala Harris, who loves her rich douchebags the same as every other Democrat, is very definitely going to lock up Elon Musk, the richest man on planet Earth.

      The fact that fucking nothing has happened to him yet means either he knows that or he's really fucking ignorant and is afraid of even the idea of consequences.

    Musk is underwater on Twitter loans, so he has to turn that into influence in this election. SpaceX makes a few billion a year, and they've burned up almost all the Artemis money without hitting any milestones from the original Starship bid proposal, but that's nothing compared to Tesla...

    Tesla, which has been looking pretty ill lately... Cybertruck, headcut reductions, the as yet undelivered Roadster, obvious BS like telling people the 30K robotaxi will generate 100K yearly, trying to get his 50B$ compensation package (5 year's worth of payroll IIRC, and more than all profit the firm has ever generated). He should by all rights be at the center of a massive fraud case... And he might, if Tesla's overvalued stock craters.

      The Democrats will just bail him out, won't they. He's too big to fail at this point. As much as I loathe that obnoxious pos, it fits with the bipartisan consensus of socializing the losses of this kind of speculation.

        It would be very Democrat of the Democrats to let the hopping dipshit that's been heiling for Trump for some time now continue to receive billions in subsidies in the name of @Civility@hexbear.net joker-amerikkklap

      I did say "unintentional" in the title; I was being a bit cheeky there. He was trying to warn that King Bazinga would be destroyed if Trump didn't win, which is like an unintentional endorsement of Kamala Harris because who the fuck likes King Bazinga now except the most-locked-in cultists and maybe some chanlord groypers?

      I did say unintentional, and that's one hell of a promise he made, even if he framed it like a bad thing.
