Musk has posted about an impending civil war on his social media platform X at least eight times in the past 10 months. Some warn it’s dangerous rhetoric.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has repeatedly prophesied a future civil war related to immigration.
Musk has posted about the subject on his social media platform X at least eight times in the past 10 months, according to a review of his posts by NBC News. And his posts usually include a specific prediction: He thinks that Europe in particular is headed toward a “civil war” due to the arrival of refugees from other continents.
Musk’s interest in the subject of a civil war poked into public view earlier this month when he weighed in on anti-immigration street riots happening across Great Britain. “Civil war is inevitable,” he wrote on X.

Musk’s rhetoric is unheard-of for a corporate executive speaking in public, but the prediction of a civil war has become a frequent talking point among some far-right activists who view a civil war in Europe or the U.S. as not only unavoidable but also as something to be welcomed.
“What you’re seeing in these calls for civil war is a white supremacist clarion call. It is a dog whistle,” said Jon Lewis, a research fellow at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism.
He’s going to try to run after Trump, isn’t he? Would be shocked if he didn’t. He’s already setting up his confederate pivot
I don’t think he’s actually eligible. He was born in South Africa.
In the land for the rich, I doubt that technicality is going to be a problem
Exactly what I’m thinking. We’re letting trump run in spite of his felonies, i don’t see why the richest prick in the world wouldn’t try to inject himself into our countries politics. He could drop 10 billion on the endeavor and be no worse off whether he succeeds or fails at the gambit
the constitution has a specific rule that presidents have to be natural born citizens. the only other limit is minimum age of 35. there are no rules that say a felon can’t be president. well, no rules yet.
Yep, absolutely right. Kinda crazy but it’s for good reasons, though i don’t think trump should be allowed to run again for other reasons than simply the felonies… but that’s another discussion
I will laugh my ass off watching him faceplant.
Id join you in chuckling but I’ll never forget the feeling of election night 2016 when every poll has trump losing and Dems had broken their arms patting each other on the back and had spent the cycle scoring Trump and his voter’s chances. Anything is possible when half of people don’t vote, and even those who want to have to face a gauntlet of deliberate obstacles.
