After The Washington Post alleged that Elon Musk had worked illegally in the US, citing former business associates, court records, and company documents, Musk responded sharply on Saturday. He claimed that Democrats would go to great lengths, including attempting to deport him, if they win the upcoming US presidential election. Musk’s statement adds to the rising tensions between the billionaire entrepreneur and political figures, particularly on the Democratic side, amid broader debates over his support for former US president and Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Taking to X, Musk said, “A lot of people still don’t believe me when I say that the Dems will do everything in their power to destroy me if they win on Nov 5th.”
