Evidently many Lemmy users don’t understand that this a threat, not a promise to leave. Direct quote from Trump:

“If something happens with this election, which would be a horror show, we’ll meet the next time in Venezuela, because it’ll be a far safer place to meet than our country,” Trump said to Musk. “OK, so we’ll go. You and I will go, and we’ll have a meeting and dinner in Venezuela.”

He’s implying the violence that will be unleashed on the US by his followers if he looses will make Venezuela (a country that is currently in revolt because of contested elections) seem safe in comparison to what his people will do here.

This is a classic “mobster” threat against anyone who opposes him that he just threw out.
