Musk Claims Democrats Bought Votes of Illegal Immigrants

March 17, 2025 · 12:52 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Elon Musk claims he found evidence that Democrats spent up to $200 billion on government contracts to “buy” the votes of illegal immigrants to create “one socialist state,” the Washington Examiner reports.

Said Musk: “The fraud we’re seeing is overwhelmingly on the left. I mean, it’s not zero on the right, but these NGOs are almost all left-wing NGOs that are being funded, for example. So, they hate me because DOGE is being effective.”

He added: “The single biggest thing that they’re worried about is that DOGE is going to turn off fraudulent payments of entitlements. I mean, everything from Social Security, Medicare, you know, unemployment, disability, small business administration loans, turn them off to illegals. This is the crux of the matter. Okay, this is the thing, why they really hate my guts and want me to die.”
