Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has revealed that he plans to visit Eagle Pass, Texas to assess the “severe” crisis of illegal crossings at the Southern Border.
In a post on Twitter/X, Musk said he will visit the Maverick County border city “later this week.”
Musk said he wants to witness the crisis for himself after speaking with Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) and confirming the record number of illegal crossings happening at the border.
“I spoke with Rep Tony Gonzales tonight – he confirmed that it is a serious issue,” Musk wrote in the early hours of Tuesday.
“They are being overwhelmed by unprecedented numbers – just hit an all-time high and still growing!
“Am going to visit Eagle Pass later this week to see what’s going on for myself.”
