Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), has been super vocal about the 2024 US Election, and some of his claims need a fact-check. One of his main themes? That Democrats are "importing" illegal immigrants to vote for them. Whoa there, Elon! One main idea he continuously repeats states how democrats continuously illegally allow those “without papers into america also.” Its pretty intense claim if accurate which obviously isn't too.
BBC Verify teamed up with data experts to analyze over 8,000 of Musk's posts since July!. And they are all easily seen publicly since Musk very active sharing also which means these claims aren't hidden nor too hard gather oneself other than simply requiring lot effort sorting many thousand tweets alone across period!. Even though "misinformation." Is clearly Musk’s main talking point this time rather than anything about how those across democrat presidential campaigns try managing the problem that “Musk talks upon either. Instead we see Democrats focusing around specific legislative work-proposals across US regions also instead by “using laws.
Musk has shared posts suggesting illegal immigrants are already Voting in this election. There is none though. Which he even retweeted questions for others on this one specific unsubstantiated voter-fraud story in local Pennsylvania, with ballots that do not meet legal mail in specifications!. despite “official public explanations by election administration in stating clearly also regarding how each invalid postal voter ballot requires reporting back towards proper election authorities also despite this narrative pushed regarding how easy one person could possibly illegally submit ballot under mail-in also, regardless the true reason it seems like rather in actuality Musk uses opportunities rather in reinforcing an already false popular sentiment regarding postal “voter security to cast further voter uncertainty onto democrat campaigns instead across that platform during election. Pretty “sus if you are thinking in similar ways as my investigation uncovered regarding this entire ordeal, or perhaps only if similar conclusions exist even for unrelated purposes around other news across that event!. As many seem now starting “digging further rather also from this newly uncovered “tweet digging” too.. Its absolutely not something positive rather than purely seeming something that was just another weird “Elon thing also” because these do not occur amidst empty space without ripple effects across that platform with how those algorithms tend functioning and thus Musk is absolutely aware all this during those tweets rather than this whole “mail-in” story emerging solely to help answer any of his followers questions truthfully or transparently.
Its straight-up illegal for non-citizens in federal elections with various big consequences!.
Musk suggests “illegals.” will sway the results of all major elections by favoring their main support (the “democratic challenger”). Not quite either!, since not each “legal resident or any immigrant at all regardless automatically votes Democrat, from initial polling data itself suggests a split favoring one other incumbent challenger instead during this 2024 cycle where each presidential side continues campaigning around “immigrant or Immigration” as their main voter narrative across those states they “already lost last previous major election” also!. Regardless here too, though, Musks tweets contain completely unsubstantiated “immigrant importation" claims in which "hundreds of thousand or potentially even more were illegally granted citizen papers illegally!”. With that amount if fully real that is almost certainly big enough either for deciding certain swing “states themselves completely if those individuals cast together within similar “geographic population clump locations within that electorate and also IF each also would necessarily even cast ballot in the presidential candidate who Musk thinks that most immigrant votes lean for too and obviously there is even far more nuances to be fully examined there during further discourse as any who examine closely political processes knows themselves!.
His main talking points center how easily those currently without lawful residency would achieve it eventually, thus swinging things toward the opposing team, thus also ensuring “republican doom across those regions either because many similar political analysts “project demographic-shift data either also rather than relying solely only ever toward specific voter “swing data” or similar statistical election projection forms in “justifying ones assumptions rather around those narratives either rather! Which are still ongoing also to date by time investigation commenced since last major election. Experts immediately refuted his main argument regarding “ease for gaining residency. Despite mentioning 1986 (during then sitting incumbent “republican Ronald Regan leadership.”) as some specific proof this was relatively easy thing across recent history where millions, during one previous "path toward citizen ship." event. The Cato’s voter expert (rather, "The Cato institute is voter expert.”) said how even amidst such similar past legal acts its absolutely nothing “close to easy or guaranteed that similar paths occur quickly nor necessarily in similar manners ever as every voter circumstance different now from others too!.
Musk makes yet another dramatic voter-fraud allegation. "Democrats flying voters secretly across country!" complete with dubious charts and unverified sources in which “an X user without verification from several prior inaccurate tweets and also several claims being formally publically discredited on community notes attached across the related X accounts also!” is included despite Musk himself being extremely public proponent about new Twitter, later X platform, that is supposedly all “fact-checked through crowd sourced correction. How convenient to suddenly “forget”. those processes Musk himself talks-up so openly across other similar topics!?. Although more probably since platform ultimately controlled only purely via whoever in Musks own, small, highly specific group as final decision makers even in what remains public across those crowd notes within the final X layout after enough users reach sufficient levels of “correctness across “unverified postings” either rather as some “fully decentralized open-access correction-style truth system.
It seems what he actually meant (even then, still without context!) was current migrant scheme (in actuality that humanitarian type.). in current sitting incumbent Kamala leadership where those having prior checks allow “temporary American two-year residency as sponsors” for the people immigrating now to be sponsors “sponsoring those who just moved.” However even here it only means legal "temporary work” residency across those periods not citizenship. And even then “after such duration many, including the experts and analysts on migrant movement suggest there are paths to permanent residency and subsequently the requirements needed in allowing Voting eligibility, via standard methods too and despite requiring similar extensive lengths “like each other immigrant at similar time-horizons where each must pass sufficient time living prior.
Getting American citizen papers can often involve an extremely long multi-year Immigration process or simply via any various “other requirements for getting legal citizen paperwork and all subsequent abilities too regarding how that specific immigrant legally also abides too within America depending that new paperwork acquired even. Here also too it must pass several further, very strict criteria including five years in US residency otherwise ineligibility exists regardless which prevents immediately using, despite also technically possessing American citizen papers!
Lastly even immigrants aren't guaranteed Democrat supporters even too!, since people “vary themselves within each choice.
