Overview
- Elon Musk alleged on X that Democrats are importing illegal immigrants to sway elections and named Rep. Ilhan Omar as the “most obvious example.”
- Responding on X, Omar called Musk “one of the dumbest people on earth” and pointed out that her Minneapolis-area district is majority white.
- Data reported by outlets show the 5th District is about 60% white with roughly 14% foreign-born residents, and Musk’s Grok chatbot described it as around 60% white.
- Reporters note no evidence has been presented to support Musk’s claim, which aligns with his recent anti-immigration and replacement-themed posts.
- The exchange unfolds as Minneapolis faces heightened scrutiny of Somali communities, federal immigration deployments, and the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good last week.
