Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk accused the Biden administration Thursday of “facilitating” illegal immigrants’ entrance into the U.S., saying the massive increase in unlawful border crossings since President Joe Biden took office “speak for themselves.”
Musk, the owner of social media platform X, reposted a graph on the site that showed a rise in border encounters and apprehensions and a decrease in expulsions of illegal immigrants since Biden took over.
“At this point, there is no question that this administration is actively facilitating illegal immigration,” Must said. “The numbers speak for themselves.”
