The Left’s hate for Elon Musk seems to be increasing rapidly every day. In congress, certain Democrat politicians question Musk’s intentions since he is an immigrant. By normal leftist standards, that would make one “xenophobic” and “nativist” to think this way, but that logic doesn’t apply to Musk argues Victor Davis Hanson in this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“ We had a congresswoman from Ohio, I think her name was Marcy Kaptur, she recently said that she wasn’t sure where Elon Musk’s loyalties lay because he’d only been a citizen for 22 years. … Remember, the Left says that people who are here illegally, and not citizens, should gain all of the protections and rights of citizens. They should be de facto citizens.

“ We have turned someone who has saved the U.S. space program and will probably save two astronauts, who otherwise would perish in space if it was left to the government program; who reinvented the entire auto industry; who opened up all of social media with X—we have turned this person into a demon.”
