In an interview on the Tucker Carlson Network, X owner Elon Musk warned that one particular outcome this election cycle could spell doom for his X platform.
Musk sat down with independent commentator Tucker Carlson, and the pair discussed the upcoming 2024 election. Carlson questioned Musk about how a potential Harris/Walz administration could impact the X platform. “If she wins, how can they let X continue in its current form, in its current role in American Society?” Carlson asked. Musk responded frankly, warning, “They’ll try to prosecute the company, prosecute me. I mean, the amount of lawfare we’re seeing taking place is outrageous.”

Musk added that should Harris win the 2024 presidential election, “[Democrats] will try to shut it down, by any means possible.” He also noted, “All the X platform does is adhere to freedom of speech within the bounds of the law. And if people want to change the laws, they can change the laws.”
Musk’s reaction is unsurprising considering the recent chorus of calls for censorship against Musk by prominent Democrats and world leaders. For example, just in the last couple of weeks, former Secretary of State John Kerry (D), Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) have each called for the government to impose tight regulations on social media.
Musk went on to reiterate the calls for censorship, and his imprisonment, by leaders in the Democratic establishment and across the world. “X in different countries, X does censor in countries where censorship is the law,” he said, referring to Brazilian lawmakers who have also pushed for censorship and shutting down his platform in their country, while other notable social media executives have faced persecution in Europe.
“If they get a majority in the Senate and House, and the presidency, then they can simply pass a law and delete Section 230,” Musk warned. This came after Clinton suggested Section 230 was “overly simple” and called for its repeal. Section 230 holds that, under certain circumstances, a tech platform is not liable as a publisher for content posted by its users.
