Ilhan Omar Rips Elon Musk Over ‘Laughable’ Error | EUROtoday

Elon Musk was publicly shamed on his personal social media platform Monday after he attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) — and he or she dismantled his “laughable” allegation in opposition to her for everybody to see.

The tech billionaire and world’s richest man reshared a graphic on X suggesting Democrats assist unlawful immigration to be able to take in noncitizens into their get together as loyal voters. Musk accused Omar, who was born in Somalia, of benefiting from this supposed scheme.

He 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 famously helped elect President Donald Trump final 12 months with a quarter-billion-dollar marketing campaign infusion, appeared to not have executed his homework — as Omar simply debunked his concept with one easy truth 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 whereas resharing Musk’s put up. “Your conspiracy theories are laughable and should have no place in a society that cares about facts.”

Grok did add that it holds America’s largest Somali inhabitants — however solely “at about 3%.”

Musk followers had been fast to argue that Omar didn’t debunk his declare, as she may nonetheless ostensibly profit from the supposed inflow of undocumented staff — although it’s unlawful for them to vote in state elections and legal voting by noncitizens is nearly nonexistent.

Originally posted by a self-described “unapologetic believer in American exceptionalism,” the graphic accuses Democrats of participating in a quid professional quo with undocumented staff by serving to them “flood” the nation in alternate for serving to the get together “Win elections.”

Musk, a soon-to-be trillionaire, has commonly shared lies and misrepresentations on X.

Last 12 months, Musk amplified the false declare that hundreds of thousands of latest voters had registered in swing states with out proof of citizenship and reshared a faux “affidavit” from a supposed “whistleblower” claiming ABC News had rigged the presidential debate it hosted in opposition to Trump.

Musk has additionally amplified the “replacement theory” accusing Democratic elites of “importing” undocumented staff to exchange white folks, and not too long ago reshared a put up warning white males within the U.S. “will be slaughtered” in the event that they ever change into a minority.

Omar’s district is roiling since final week’s deadly taking pictures of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mom killed by a U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement officer. Omar herself has endured untold threats of deportation from Trump and his loyalists.

Her dunk in opposition to Musk, in the meantime, didn’t go unnoticed by his critics on social media.
