X chief Elon Musk is supporting Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s declaration of an invasion at the southern border stating that there is “no other choice.”
Abbott’s move comes as multiple shocking videos have emerged in recent days showing tens of thousands of illegal immigrants crossing near the small town of Eagle Pass, Texas.
Eagle Pass has been a hotbed of illegal border activity for some time now.
Earlier this year, security footage showed a United States Army soldier opening a gate in that location, allowing a large crowd of illegal aliens onto private property in Texas.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, whose reporting has been practically the lone source of information about the ongoing surge of illegal immigrants, posted numerous videos this week showing “a total free-for-all in Eagle Pass.”
It’s a total free for all in Eagle Pass right now. Mass illegal crossing taking place for over an hour and a half. Almost 2 years to the day we saw 15,000+ Haitians under the bridge in Del Rio, we now have thousands of predominantly Venezuelans gathering under Eagle Pass bridge. pic.twitter.com/VkfUQnexGZ

Abbott Declares An Invasion
The massive influx of new illegal immigrants prompted Governor Abbott to declare that an “invasion” was taking place at the southern border.
Abbott initially accused the Biden administration of cutting his state’s razor wire barrier at the location in Eagle Pass.
He posted a video stating such actions were taken “opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants,” and said that he had deployed the Texas National Guard to reinstall it.
Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings.
Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants.

Just a couple of hours later, Abbott announced on X that he had officially “declared an invasion.”
“Two years of inaction on your part now leave Texas with no choice but to escalate our efforts to secure our State,” Abbott wrote in a letter to President Joe Biden.
“Your open-border policies, which have catalyzed an unprecedented crisis of illegal immigration, are the sole cause of Texas having to invoke our constitutional authority to defend ourselves,” he continued.
I officially declared an invasion at our border because of Biden’s policies.
We deployed the Texas National Guard, DPS & local law enforcement.
We are building a border wall, razor wire & marine barriers.
We are also repelling migrants.

Elon Musk Agrees
Elon Musk, CEO of X (formerly known as Twitter) responded to Abbott’s declaration of a border invasion by agreeing that it was a necessary step.
“No other choice,” he wrote. “The influx is so gigantic that it is overwhelming even major cities like New York.”

Musk is referencing the fact that Texas, in an attempt to alleviate pressure from those suffering at the hands of the border invasion, has been bussing illegal immigrants to so-called sanctuaries like New York City.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) has stated the surge was going to “destroy” the city.
“Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this,” fretted Adams.
“I don’t see an ending to this,” he repeated. “This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City.”

Imagine what it would be like if New York City was a border location and you saw videos like this of illegal immigrants marching into the streets.
Then they might declare an actual invasion.

Musk also blasted the media for remaining missing in action on the border invasion, something that they covered extensively when former President Donald Trump was trying to build a wall and enforce the nation’s laws.
“Strange that there is almost no legacy media coverage of this,” he wrote. “About 2 million people – from every country on Earth – are entering through the US southern border every year. The number is rising rapidly, yet no preventive action is taken by the current administration.”

In another post to X, Musk commented on Melugin’s tweet that every local media outlet in Eagle Pass is covering the border invasion extensively while “national networks were MIA.”
“This gets no coverage because the media NPCs are instructed not to cover it,” Musk replied.

“NPC” stands for “Non-Player Character,” a metaphor to describe somebody perceived as lacking independent thought or blindly following trends.
Independent thought, much like media integrity, is relegated to a bygone era. And there is nothing strange about their lack of coverage.
The border invasion is intentionally happening at the behest of the Biden administration. The media aren’t covering it because they don’t want you to know the man in the White House is purposefully allowing the destruction of America.
