Notable Quotes
“I love that this is the, look how silly this looks, this is ridiculous. Elon Musk went to Eagle Pass and started live streaming at the border during the immigration crisis. I'm glad he's doing it.

“In the past month, Eagle Pass is averaging around 2000 illegal crossings per day. And that's one location, right? One location. It has been the hotspot pretty much for the entire Biden border crisis. But recently it's gotten even worse. We hit a day record of about 2200, and two days later it was 4000.”
— Dan Lyman · border crisis statistics
“The people in Staten Island are the ones who are getting all of these people dumped in their neighborhoods. And now the police are beating and arresting the locals. So, yeah, it matters. And Elon Musk parachuting in is good because it highlights the problem.”
— Tim Pool · community impact discussion
“The winner of last night's GOP debate was Donald Trump. For real, a poll was put out. They found Donald Trump won, even though he was not there. Vivek came in second place.”
— Tim Pool · GOP debate analysis
“Elon's done a really good job lately of paying attention to this issue. Months ago, we were covering the fact that he was doing his exclamation point tweet response to people, which is not him saying anything. He's just calling attention to it with this massive magnifying glass that he has.”
