Billionaire entrepreneurs Mark Cuban and Elon Musk got into a dispute on social media over the issue of immigration. When the dust cleared, it turned out that Musk’s own AI technology exposed him and his lies.
The dispute between Cuban and Musk began when the Twitter CEO declared that the “only way to save” American democracy from immigrants, posting, “Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election.”
Musk added that Democrats are flying immigrants “directly into swing states” who are then “fast-tracked to citizenship” to help liberals win the 2024 election.
As HuffPost notes, the government’s immigration statistics prove that Musk is full of crap.
Noncitizens must first spend at least five years as a lawful permanent resident before they’re typically eligible for naturalization, meaning Musk’s conspiracy would have had to begin during the Trump administration to bear any meaningful fruit. (The median number of years in the U.S. for citizens naturalized in 2023 was actually longer: seven years.)
And according to the Department of Homeland Security, the top 10 states where people who were naturalized last year reside are: California (not a swing state), Texas (not a swing state), Florida (not really), New York (absolutely not), New Jersey (also solidly blue), Illinois (nuh-uh), Washington (try again), Pennsylvania (the only one), Massachusetts (blue) and Virginia (debatable).
Cuban saw Musk’s disgusting post and decided he’d employ Musk’s supposedly “anti-woke” AI chatbot, Grok, to take him to school on the issue of immigration.
“Hey [Elon Musk], truly appreciate the work you have done with [Grok].” Cuban replied to Musk It’s a great way to factcheck you.”
According to Grok, Musk’s claim “contains exaggerated claims and speculative fears rather than factual analysis,” and was “presented in an alarmist and overly deterministic manner.”
Cuban also had a warning for Musk regarding his support of Donald Trump.
“Elon, there will come a time when you need something from Donald Trump,” he wrote. “You will think you will have earned the right to ask and receive. You have been a loyal, faithful soldier for him. You have supported him politically with 10s of millions of dollars.
“Then, at the point you need him the most, you will find out what so many before you have learned, his loyalty is only to himself.”
Game, set, and match Mark Cuban. Thank you for proving that Elon Musk is the one who needs to be deported back to his home country of South Africa. That would go a long way to making America great again.
