Wearing a cowboy hat, Musk said on Thursday (local time) that he wanted to get an unfiltered view of the situation at the border and called for a new approach to US immigration laws.

The South African native also referred to his own status as an immigrant to the United States, describing himself as “extremely pro-immigrant.” “We want to achieve both – smooth legal immigration and stop a flow of people that is reaching such a level that it is leading to a collapse of social services,” said the entrepreneur.

Musk and politics
Elon Musk has recently become increasingly involved in political issues. In May, he hosted the launch of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Republican presidential campaign on Twitter, causing the service to crash.

His company Tesla operates a Gigafactory in Austin, and there is also a large Space X test and launch facility on the Texas Gulf Coast in Boca Chica near Brownsville.
