WASHINGTON: If Donald Trump is not elected, it will be the last election in the United States, says Twitter owner Elon Musk. If Donald Trump is elected, he will cause lasting damage to American democracy, says New York Times. The two conflicting views of social media and traditional media executives respectively underpin a volatile election campaign that polls currently show is a tie and experts agree will determine the future of America, with profound repercussions on the rest of the world.
In a lengthy editorial supporting Kamala Harris for president that was as much a scathing critique of Trump, the New York Times editorial board said Monday that Kamala Harris is “the only patriotic choice for president,” calling Donald Trump a “unworthy” and “unfit”. for the office. Frequently dubbed by Trump as the “failed New York Times,” his own hometown’s traditional media sentinel has trashed the former president, who has long feuded with the newspaper, saying he lacks wisdom, honesty , empathy and courage. , restraint, humility, discipline and other qualities required for the White House.
The newspaper cited “his operational incompetence, changeable temperament and sheer recklessness” among the reasons for his rejection. The disqualifying characteristics, the New York Times board said, “are compounded by…his numerous criminal charges, his advanced age, his fundamental lack of interest in politics, and his increasingly bizarre associates.” .
Among the characters is Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and frequent critic of mainstream media, who has used his toxic bully pulpit democracy” and elect him. “It’s the only way to save it” from Democrats who, he says, are seeking to change the country’s electoral demographics by speeding up illegal immigrants’ access to citizenship that will allow them to vote.
“Let me explain: If only 1 in 20 illegal immigrants became citizens each year, which Democrats are accelerating as fast as possible, that would amount to about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years. The voting margin in swing states is often less than 20,000 votes This means that if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!” Musk claimed, alleging that the Biden/Harris administration sent “asylum seekers” directly to swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona and fast-tracked them to citizenship as “a surefire way to win every election.”
“America then becomes a one-party state and democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, after the 1986 amnesty ” said Musk, who is himself an immigrant with single-party status. a piecemeal path to citizenship, as revealed by his brother, said.
Musk’s argument was repudiated by many analysts who said he was being drawn into an environment in which a possible Trump administration would revoke the citizenship of anyone who was not born in the United States. “You could get kicked out, Elon, if you cross that psychopath Trump. Vote Harris before Trump decides he’s got everything he’s going to get from you,” warned Keith Olberman, a liberal political commentator. Many of Trump’s associates favor birthright citizenship that confers voting rights only on U.S.-born citizens.
Musk has used his social media platform to pressure Trump, including relaying lies and misinformation, sometimes under the guise of humor, to counter the largely left-liberal orientation of America’s mainstream media. Not that mainstream media support means much: In 2016, Hillary Clinton was endorsed by more than 100 newspapers, including the New York Times, compared to only about a half-dozen for Trump. He still won.
