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.
