Elon Musk has found himself the recipient of the kind of unhinged leftist wrath that is usually reserved for Donald Trump. Whether Musk relishes the hatred isn't exactly clear, but he's certainly not backing down in the face of the heat.
Musk's first mistake, in the view of the left, was his purchase of Twitter, which he renamed X. Twitter had previously been the playground of the left, where they were free to bully conservatives and get their opponents (see: Donald Trump) banned. All the fun stopped when Musk came along and evened out the playing field; his allowing free speech to flourish on the site was unforgivable, and the left will never, ever forgive him.
Next, Musk was elevated to "public enemy no. 2" due to his support of Donald Trump.

He was placed right in the crosshairs along with Donald Trump. The question was: Why?
'I'm like, enemy number two of what? Uh, democracy? I mean I'm pro-democracy. I'm literally trying to uphold the Constitution and ensure we have a free and fair election,' Musk said.
After two assassination attempts against Trump, Musk was left shocked at the left's vitriol.
'I'm definitely upgrading my security,' he added with a laugh. 'I guess I better cancel my open car parade.'
'Sometimes I'm a little shook by the things that I see,' he admitted, citing the 'intolerant' radical left.
Musk said his decision to back and campaign for Trump was 'dramatically increasing my risk of being assassinated,' but said did not have a 'death wish' by getting into politics.
'That stakes are so high that I feel that I have no choice not to do it,' he said.
The stakes are incredibly high for Elon Musk, something he expounded on when he made a surprise pre-election appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast on Monday.
JUST IN - Elon Musk says X will be forced to shut down if Kamala Harris wins

Musk fears that a Kamala Harris win on Tuesday would mean the end of Twitter/X as we've come to know it. If Trump were to win, Musk would expect to see advertising on the platform return to robust numbers, but a Kamala win would mean
They'll freaking shut [it] down. There's no way that the ... Kamala regime would allow X to exist.
When asked by Rogan if there was a "pathway" for the Democrats to shut X down, Musk responded, "Yes, um well I mean they can just they can sick the DOJ on [us], you know, and say like ... they've had this whole thing about hate speech, misinformation, whatever. Except they're the ones pushing the misinformation but that doesn't stop them from filing massive you know lawsuits and using the DOJ."
And that's not all; a Kamala Harris administration might come after SpaceX, too. According to Musk:
The DOJ has been attacking SpaceX, for example, for not hiring asylum seekers even though it isn't legal for SpaceX to hire anyone who is not a permanent resident of the US. So we're damed if we do and damned if we don't.
Elon Musk has become a great surrogate for Donald Trump, and his appearance on Rogan just one day before Election Day allowed Musk one last chance to lay out what's on the line for America, the Constitution, and those who cherish free speech.
NEW: Elon Musk and Joe Rogan rip the Democratic party for spreading hoax after hoax, call out President Barack Obama.

The pair also called out YouTube for the apparent suppression of the Trump-Rogan interview.

Joe Rogan agrees with Elon Musk that if Trump does not win, it will be the last election due to illegal immigrants:
