Elon Musk met with Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday, according to a new report from CNN. New York Times. While it’s unclear what the two discussed, news of the meeting comes as Musk steps up his campaign against illegal immigration and Trump looks for new solutions. Source of cash.
this era The report did not name sources for the meeting, but cited “three people who were briefed on the meeting.”Accounts tracking Musk’s planes on the social media platform BlueSky show that he landing in west palm beach Saturday, March 2, leaving tomorrow.
Musk previously claimed he never voted for a Republican Before 2022, which largely suggests he never voted for Trump in 2016 or 2020. But Musk has fully embraced Republican politics in recent years, even as he has sometimes distanced himself from Trump.
Musk was an early advocate for Vivek Ramaswamy as the Republican presidential nominee, although Ramaswamy dropped out of the race in mid-January. Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and long-shot candidate who never had a serious confrontation with Trump, has since backed the former president.
The billionaire SpaceX CEO may not like Trump personally, but the two have many common interests.For example, Trump wants to free U.S. troops on the streets of America Rounding up anyone who appears to be in the country illegally is a plan that Musk might agree to.
In recent months, Musk has been spouting xenophobic rhetoric on X, insisting that illegal immigration is the biggest problem facing the country – an overwhelming potential threat that has become Musk’s focus. Oddly, just judging from Musk’s tweets and public comments, it seems like he didn’t care much about immigration until around 2023. Musk’s new pet issue puts him at odds with President Joe Biden, who is not entirely dovish on immigration policy.
“This administration is both importing voters and creating a national security threat from unvetted illegal immigration,” Musk wrote on Twitter. late monday Typical billionaire tone.
To be clear, non-citizens are not allowed to vote in the United States, so Musk’s insistence that Biden is “importing” voters is completely wrong. But Musk went on to say that immigrants could pose a threat as serious as the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
“It’s very possible that the seeds for something worse than 9/11 are being laid. It’s just a matter of time,” Musk continued.
It is worth noting that none of the terrorists who attacked the Pentagon and the World Trade Center in New York were in the country illegally.they all entered perfectly legal visa.
Biden said he wants to “close” the border if Republicans can get him to pass a bill that addresses the issue.Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford spent months negotiating bipartisan bill It’s widely considered the toughest immigration reform in a generation. But the legislation was blocked by Republicans after Trump made clear he wanted the border to be an issue he could campaign on ahead of the November presidential election.
This is the problem America is facing now. Trump, who currently leads Biden in multiple national polls, thrives in a chaotic world. If Musk starts supporting Trump financially, he might sign up for such a chaotic mission.
