Musk Visits Texas-Mexico Border, Weighing In on Migration Issue

Elon Musk visited the border between Texas and Mexico late Thursday, briefly live-streaming as he entered another US political debate, this one about migration.

“As an immigrant to the United States I’m extremely pro immigrant,” said Musk, who was born in South Africa. “By the same token, we should not be allowing people into the country if they are breaking the law.”

The billionaire chief executive officer of Tesla Inc. and Space X wore a black cowboy hat, black T-shirt and dark glasses. He streamed the visit to Eagle Pass on X, the social media platform, formerly known as Twitter that he bought for $44 billion last fall.

He was accompanied by Representative Tony Gonzales, a Texas Republican. The live stream lasted for about four minutes before it appeared to stop working.
