NBC Outraged that Elon Musk Didn't Tell Border Patrol He Would Visit; No Word on Whether Illegals Warned Them

Newsflash NBC: US citizens needn’t inform the government about their movements.

NBC had no comment on whether the illegal immigrants who cross the border day and night–8 million so far under Joe Biden–gave prior warning of their “visit” to the United States.

Can the MSM be more of a parody of itself? It seems so.

U.S. Border Patrol officials received no official requests and little warning ahead of Elon Musk’s highly publicized Sept. 28 visit to the U.S.-Mexico border, according to emails obtained by NBC News.

The emails, acquired through a Freedom of Information Act request, show government officials discussing and briefing each other on the visit, in which Musk appeared in a cowboy hat at the border site near Eagle Pass, Texas, with Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas. The two discussed immigration as Musk broadcast live video to the social platform X of a scene that included dozens of detained migrants.

Why NBC would put in a FOIA request about Elon Musk’s visit to the border is a bit of a mystery, until you realize that the MSM suddenly became obsessed with the guy once he announced that he would vote Republican in 2024.

Musk went from hero to zero in a day. Ever since the intelligentsia has been on a Jihad against the guy. The electric car/solar power guy betrayed his class!

Musk has become increasingly outspoken about U.S. political issues, and has repeatedly discussed immigration online. He has also become an outsize figure in Texas, where his companies have made major investments and purchased large swaths of land.

The incident garnered significant attention at the time, bringing in over 22 million views on X and generating headlines.

Even as Musk posted publicly about the potential of a visit to the site, border officials said in emails that they had not received any official requests from Musk or Gonzales.

Do NBC reporters inform the government–or make “requests”–when they legally travel around the country? Should I FOIA the records related to NBC’s travel notifications to the US government? Perhaps I should, since the MSM has become such an advocate for the US to become a police state.

It is bizarre that NBC would even think to investigate this, no less publish a story implying that Musk did something wrong visiting the border and highlighting the obvious illegal immigration crisis. Then to label their story an “EXCLUSIVE” as if it had uncovered a scandal was just the icing on the cake.

NBC employs the most pro-censorship reporter in America, Ben Collins, who spends an inordinate amount of time obsessing about how evil Musk is. I wonder if he notifies the Biden Administration of his every movement.

Perhaps Rachel Maddow kept the Trump Administration informed of her trips?

Boca Chica, Texas, where SpaceX is based, is right along the Texas-Mexico border. Did NBC discover whether Musk informs the government about his commutes to and from work along the border?

Our media is trash.
