The owner of X was responding to reports that 320,000 illegal immigrants have been flown into the United States.
Elon Musk warned that the sheer number of illegal immigrants entering the United States in recent months could trigger “something far worse” than the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
“Unvetted illegal immigrants” coming into the United States is a “national security threat,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “It is highly probable that the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11. Just a matter of time,” Mr. Musk said, while suggesting that some of those individuals will illegally vote in elections.
This administration is both importing voters and creating a national security threat from unvetted illegal immigrants.

The Tesla CEO was referring to an article from The Daily Mail and other reports that said the federal government has flown 320,000 illegal immigrants into the United States.
According to a report published on March 4 by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), a Washington-based think tank, the Biden administration “is responsible for almost invisibly importing by air 320,000 aliens with no legal right to enter the United States” since late 2022.
The effort is part of the administration’s “lawful pathways” strategy to reduce the number of illegal crossings at the southern border, according to the report penned by Todd Bensman, a senior national security fellow at the CIS. That information was obtained by CIS under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees federal immigration efforts.
“The countries whose citizens are eligible are Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, and Ecuador,” he wrote.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) told CIS that revealing information about the airports that were used would disclose “operational vulnerabilities that could be exploited by bad actors altering their patterns of conduct, adopting new methods of operation, and taking other countermeasures, thereby undermining CBP’s law enforcement efforts to secure the United States borders,” according to the organization.
In recent years, Mr. Musk has been outspoken against the Biden administration’s border policies, namely after he visited the southern border in September and revealed he saw “pretty extreme” numbers of people illegally entering the U.S. In a live stream from the Texas town of Eagle Pass, he told viewers that he saw a man entering the United States with teardrop tattoos on his face.
