Elon Musk says it’s ‘insane’ that Americans can vote without ID, cast ballots by mail

"In the USA, you don’t need government issued ID to vote and you can mail in your ballot," Musk posted on X, "This is insane."

The tech mogul has in recent times made numerous other comments about controversial processes facilitated by the US government, especially regarding the crisis at the US southern border. Last Thursday he declared that "At this point, there is no question that this administration is actively facilitating illegal immigration," and noted that the "numbers speak for themselves."

A few months prior, Musk revealed in September that he would take a trip to Eagle Pass, Texas after a conversation he had about the illegal immigration issue with Texas GOP Representative Tony Gonzales.

Data from US Customs and Border Protection has revealed that there have been over 2 million illegal crossings within the past year, with more than 6 million encounters since Joe Biden first assumed office in 2021.

In December, Border Patrol agents observed over 300,000 encounters with illegal immigrants, topping the previous monthly record of 269,735, which was set just a couple of months prior in September.
