Democrats threatened to expropriate Musk's companies if they win the elections, and Trump does not rule out pardoning him

The president Donald Trump promised to protect Elon Musk and does not rule out issuing preemptive pardons if the Democrats win the midterm elections and move against the South African entrepreneur's empire.

Although the president dismissed the Democrats' threats against Musk, he did not miss the opportunity to make it clear that he would intervene if the situation escalates. "It’s not going to happen. They are just words. But if they stop being just words, we will have to protect him," Trump stated.

Trump also stated that he would consider preemptive pardons for officials and allies of his administration if the Democrats attempt to pursue them legally after he leaves office in January 2029. These statements come after the American left threatened to expropriate Musk's companies, Tesla -SpaceX, Starlink, and the artificial intelligence giant xAI-.

In fact, the Democrats are already preparing large-scale investigations against the CEO of SpaceX and his businesses if they gain control of Congress in this Tuesday's midterm elections. This is a direct request from various leftist figures such as Keynesian Paul Krugman and former Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton, Robert Reich, who have suggested that a future Democratic government confiscate Musk's companies.

"One way or another, Elon Musk must be stripped of control of Starlink. It’s a matter of national security: we cannot allow private individuals to dictate foreign and defense policy, and it would be totally irresponsible to leave a crucial military asset in the hands of a racist, authoritarian, and conspiracy theorist," Krugman stated in an interview.

Musk has become the main enemy of the left after helping Trump launch the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), along with being one of the businesspeople who donates the most money to the Republican Party.
