On Friday, Elon Musk, X owner who also serves as the CEO at Tesla and SpaceX, slammed President Biden for the illegal immigration crisis, suggesting that he intentionally allowed for the border to be overrun with millions of illegal immigrants because he wants to turn the U.S. into a one-party state that Democrats control.
Musk’s remarks come after border officials encountered more than 302,000 illegal immigrants attempting to cross the U.S. southern border in December, the highest one-month total in history.
Musk made his comments in a post on X in which he shared a screenshot of a 2021 news article from the Associated Press that showed how Biden incentivized illegal immigration. “Biden to prioritize legal status for millions of immigrants,” the title said.
“Biden’s strategy is very simple: 1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible,” Musk posted. “2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state. That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple, yet effective.”
“This explains why there are so few deportations, as every deportation is a lost vote,” he added. “As happened this week, you can literally assault police officers in broad daylight in New York, be released with no bail, give everyone the finger and *still* not be deported!! Outrageous.”

Musk continued: “In the ‘bet-you-didn’t-know’ category, Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas issued written guidance making it clear that: 1. Illegal presence alone is not grounds for deportation. 2. Criminal charges, convictions or gang membership alone are not enough for deportation. You basically have to be a convicted axe murderer to be deported! That’s because every deportation is a lost vote.”
Musk added that he supported “significantly” increasing legal immigration to the United States but that he is “against a massive number of unvetted people flooding into America, which any rational person should be.”
