Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday (Nov 4) warned that if Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris comes to power she will shut down social media platform X by all means.

“There’s no way that the Kamala Harris puppet regime would allow X to exist,” said the billionaire, while speaking at ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast.

Speaking about Musk’s acquisition of X for billions of dollars, podcaster Joe Rogan said, “If you didn’t do it, no one would have. And here’s the hilarious narrative that I keep hearing from idiots. ‘Elon’s a bad businessman. Twitter is worth, you know, 400% less than when he bought it.’ No, it wasn’t worth that in the first place. It wasn’t worth $44 billion, you f—ing morons. Wrong. And also, you’re not taking into account the advertiser boycott. That’s total bulls—.”

Musk said that he agrees that the Orwellian-named Center for Countering Digital Hate was a “total scam organisation” and called the group a “censorship organisation” that “pushed the advertisers to boycott.”

Musk’s X Corp last year sued the Centre for Countering Digital Hate for publishing “misleading claims” and exaggerating the harmful content’s prevalence on X to thwart investment from advertisers.

The X owner stated that they have lessened some aspects of the boycott, however, the US presidential election will be decisive in the battle between freedom of speech and government censorship.

Musk says ‘If Kamala wins…’

“I think if Trump wins, we’ll see, you know, probably most of the boycott will lift. But if Kamala wins, we’ll see that boycott gets stronger and they’ll friggin’ shut [it] down. There’s no way that a Kamala puppet regime would allow X to exist,” said Musk.

“You really think that they’ll be able to shut it down, though? Is there a pathway to that?” quizzed the podcast host and later inquired, “What would they do?”
