Tesla founder and X owner Elon Musk criticized US immigration policy on Thursday (local time). “Why do so many American politicians from both parties care a hundred times more about the Ukrainian border than the American border?” he asked on X (formerly Twitter). A new approach to immigration law is needed.
“I believe we need a greatly expanded legal immigration system and allow quick entry to anyone who works hard and is honest,” Musk said in a video. At the same time, access should also be denied to those who break the law. Musk visited the US border between Texas and Mexico on Thursday (local time) and met with politicians and employees of various authorities. He filmed himself and streamed the video live on his own social media platform X.

The South African native pointed to his own status as an immigrant in the United States, describing himself as “extremely pro-immigrant.” leads to a collapse of social services,” the entrepreneur is convinced.
Musk’s company Tesla operates a factory in Texas, and there is also a large test and launch facility for his Space X on the Gulf Coast. The American is a strong supporter of the Republicans; in May, for example, he moderated the launch of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ campaign against X.
Shared AfD-related post
Elon Musk has been getting involved in political issues lately. A week before the state elections in Bavaria and Hesse, he shared a video clip of a migration-critical X user called “Radio Genoa”, in which he called on people to vote for the right-wing AfD party. The article criticizes the fact that eight German ships belonging to non-governmental organizations are currently bringing in migrants from the Mediterranean to take them to Italy.
The background is the Italian government’s criticism that the German Foreign Ministry is supporting rescue organizations at sea this year with up to two million euros. The co-chairman of the green-affiliated Heinrich Böll Foundation, Jan Phillip Albrecht, called on the European Commission to stop Musk’s “election propaganda”.
