Elon Musk Is Back on the Trump Train for 2026 Midterms: 'America Is Toast if the Radical Left Wins'

Source: Mediaite

Elon Musk seemingly confirmed he has resumed funding Republican politicians heading into the 2026 midterm elections, with the Tesla boss saying the USA is a lost cause if Democrats win.

“America is toast if the radical left wins,” Musk posted on X — the social platform he owns — on Thursday. “They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud. Won’t be America anymore.”




His response comes after Musk and President Trump have had an up-and-down relationship over the last year.

We have to be point blank, for a change. The right isn't afraid to overstate the case. In this case, we aren't exaggerating.

There isn't enough money to propagandize all the people who have become disaffected with Trump. MAGA, Trumpism, and Musk.

The real issue is what Musk did to tamper with elections in 2024. Democrats seem completely disinterested in learning what happened, and why Trump said repeatedly that "We have plenty of votes" and "Nobody knows more about the 'vote counting computers' than Musk".

He did something before, and nobody has done anything to prevent him from doing it again.

Correcting it for him:

'America Is Toast if the Radical Left DOESN'T Win.'

I believe his Starlink program stole the race for president and this signals he's going to do that in the midterms as well. Look at how the results swung hard left when he wasn't actively "fixing" the results!!

They know that the seeming negativity which is mostly fake makes their unpopularity slightly tolerable bc it gives hope to the people they hurt,
