Twitter/X owner Elon Musk was busy posting to the social media platform that he owns Friday and Saturday, interspersing stories of SpaceX rockets taking off with searing political commentary about the state of our nation under Joe Biden and the Democrats.
His outlook was anything but positive should things continue as they have under the current administration:
One of his main concerns is illegal immigration, where under the Biden administration, as many as 10 million people have slipped into the country. Biden has made no effort to secure the border and casts blame everywhere he can think of – except on his own disastrous policies.
Musk calls the president’s approach “insane” as he reacts to the awful story of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley's murder at the hands of a Venezuelan illegal:
The billionaire and current holder of the number three spot on the list of the world's wealthiest humans is not known as a conservative firebrand; in fact, he himself has revealed that he's voted plenty of times for Dems in the past:
“To be clear, my historical party affiliation has been Independent, with an actual voting history of entirely Democrat until this year,” he wrote on Twitter the day before the midterm election. “And I’m open to the idea of voting Democrat again in the future.”
In recent years, however, much of his commentary veers sharply from today's progressive orthodoxy, and he's also been an outspoken supporter of free speech.
As we reported, Musk visited with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in early March, sparking speculation that he's going to go all in on Republicans. But at the time, he posted to X that it wouldn't be the case: "Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President."
He warns that although the predicted red wave never materialized in the 2022 midterm elections, we're in real trouble if voters keep Biden and the Dems in power this time around:
Musk makes it clear he's not anti-immigrant, writing Friday, "I say as an immigrant who is proud to have become a citizen and who supports vastly expanded *legal* immigration."
Musk is a fascinating person who is confounding to some, inspiring to others. His ominous warnings highlight the dangers that Biden's outrageous border policies present to our future and reiterate that if we get four more years of this administration, the country may not be recognizable anymore.
"Imagine four more years of this getting worse." I can barely stomach the thought.
