Tech bozo Elon Musk was publicly shamed on his own social media platform after he attacked Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and she dismantled his laughable allegation against her for everyone to see.
Musk shared a graphic on X suggesting Democrats support illegal immigration in order to recruit non-citizens into their party as loyal voters. Musk accused Somalian-born Omar of benefiting from this supposed scheme. Musk wrote, “This has been happening for years. Ilhan Omar is the most obvious example. A large number of relatively recently arrived Somalis will elect only a Somali to Congress in that Minnesota district. This is much more subtle, but just as bad, in many other parts of America.”
Musk, who helped elect Trump last year with a quarter-billion-dollar campaign infusion, appeared not to have done his homework — as Omar easily debunked his theory with one simple fact about her congressional district in Minnesota. “You are one of the dumbest people on earth, my district is literally a majority white district,” Omar wrote in response while resharing Musk’s post. “Your conspiracy theories are laughable and should have no place in a society that cares about facts.”
Musk’s own AI chatbot Grok backed her up: When a user asked about Omar’s constituency, it cited census data from 2023 to 2024 to note the 5th Congressional District she represents is approximately 60% white. Even though Musk fans tried to argue that Omar didn’t debunk his claim (as she could still ostensibly benefit from the supposed influx of undocumented workers) it’s illegal for undocumented workers to vote in state elections and criminal voting by non-citizens is almost nonexistent.
Musk has regularly shared lies and misrepresentations on X. Last year, Musk amplified the false claim that millions of new voters had registered in swing states without proof of citizenship and reshared a fake “affidavit” from a supposed “whistleblower” claiming ABC News had rigged the presidential debate it hosted against Trump. Musk has also amplified the “replacement theory” accusing Democratic elites of “importing” undocumented workers to replace white people, and recently reshared a post warning white men in the U.S. “will be slaughtered” if they ever become a minority.
Meanwhile, Omar's slam dunk against Musk did not go unnoticed by his critics on social media.
