Tesla CEO Elon Musk sounded the alarm during a town hall event, warning that if Vice President Kamala Harris gets another four years in office, the United States might find itself living in a dystopian nightmare reminiscent of Mad Max. In his typical no-holds-barred style, Musk didn’t mince words while addressing a crowd in Pennsylvania. It’s clear he feels this election isn’t just about who gets the Oval Office—it’s about the fate of the nation and, in his view, the entire Western world.
Musk laid it out plainly, pointing to the issues that really matter: secure borders, safe cities, and sensible government spending that doesn’t leave the country spiraling into “crazy inflation.” Sounds like common sense, right? Musk seemed baffled that such basic ideas could somehow be branded as right-wing. He called it out for what it is, saying if anyone’s opposed to these fundamental values, they’re not just wrong—they’re un-American. And his message to those people was equally blunt: “The hell with them.”
He didn’t stop there, either. When someone in the crowd threw out George Soros’s name, Musk wasted no time in taking aim at the billionaire, accusing him of tearing apart the very fabric of society. Musk’s frustration with the current state of American cities was clear, too. He shared a personal anecdote, saying his own mother had three of her friends assaulted on the streets this year alone. And according to him, things are only getting worse.
The tech mogul went on to predict a grim future under Harris, claiming that another four years with her at the helm would lead to a “Mad Max” scenario. Sure, it’s entertaining to watch a Mad Max movie, Musk quipped, but nobody wants to actually live in one. The bleak vision of lawless chaos was Musk’s way of driving home the point: this election is a tipping point, and getting it wrong could mean disaster.
Musk’s remarks followed his public endorsement of Donald Trump, a move that rattled the establishment. Earlier in the month, Musk made headlines by appearing with Trump in Pennsylvania, standing firmly behind the former president and telling the crowd that, plain and simple, “Trump must win.” Whether his warning about a Mad Max future comes to pass or not, one thing’s for sure: Musk is convinced that four more years of Kamala Harris would send America hurtling toward that cliff.
