The world's richest man Elon Musk announced his bet on Mr. Trump in the US election

Washington [US], October 8: Billionaire Elon Musk has increased his support for former US President Donald Trump and announced that he is betting all his money on the Republican candidate in the November 5 election.
After appearing alongside Mr. Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on October 5, the world's richest man Elon Musk had a conversation with host Tucker Carlson, who used to work for Fox News.
"In my opinion, if Mr. Trump does not win this election, it will be our last election," Reuters quoted the Tesla and SpaceX owner.
Billionaire Musk, whose total assets are estimated by Forbes to be more than $258 billion , believes that illegal immigrants are brought to certain states and, after being granted US citizenship in those states, will support the Democratic Party.
"Right now the margins in battleground states are sometimes only 10,000 to 20,000 votes. So what happens if you send hundreds of thousands of immigrants to each battleground state?", Mr. Musk analyzed.
"So I predict that if the Democrats succeed in leading the United States for the next four years, they will legalize more illegal immigrants, and by the next election there will be no more battleground states," the American billionaire predicted, adding that the two-party system of controlling the government in the United States will be broken and only one party will be in power.
That's why Mr. Musk said he bet all his money on candidate Trump in this year's election.
Last weekend, Mr. Musk announced a plan promising to pay $47 to anyone who registers to vote in the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina , Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and Michigan.
