> Here, you have an illegal immigrant

He immigrated legally. The issue is that he did some work while he was on a student visa, which is a dumb minor technicality if it is even true. It’s not the outright illegal immigration that is enabled by one party, which is a far bigger influence on US politics.

> who has built multiple companies on the backs of billions of dollars of taxpayer money

Taxpayers got way more than they expected. Obviously.

> and uses it to spread misinformation

Musk has done more to restore free speech than anyone else in years and that is a threat to you. So now come labels like “misinformation”.

> It's basically terrorism

Get a grip.

“Republicans kill border bill in a sign of Trump's strength and McConnell's waning influence”: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna137477

Calling that a border bill is a bit dishonest. It was a $118 billion bill with only $20B in funding for border security, with restrictions on immigration that wouldn't even trigger until 5000 people each day (i.e. most border crossers) had been processed the same way they are processed now.

In short, it would have changed very little.
