Billionaire X owner Elon Musk has thrown his support behind mass deportations and declared that anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor.
The world’s richest man made the comment while responding to a post on his social media platform by Spanish right-wing activist Ada Lluch on Sunday.
“Nothing makes me happier than seeing young people stand up for remigration,” Ms Lluch wrote.
“The fact that mass migration poses a threat to our nation’s identity and our cultural heritage is no longer a debate. The only debate that we should be having is how are we going to make it happen.”
Musk, who briefly became the world’s first trillionaire last month, responded: “Anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor.”

Ms Lluch replied: “Indeed. You can’t love your country and oppose remigration. They are mutually exclusive.”
Musk has spoken out in favour of remigration previously, and has backed Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe’s calls for mass deportations from the UK and “millions must go” catchphrase.
In an interview with The Economist published on Thursday Musk warned immigration-related issues will result in civil war in the UK within 20 years, and hit back at interviewer Zanny Minton Beddoes when asked if he was anti-Muslim.
“I’m against rape and murder. I’m against the imposition of rules and laws that are contrary to what we’ve come to accept in the West,” he said.
“It’s a crying shame that traditional media, like you, don’t recognise this.”
He later wrote on X that Ms Minton Beddoes “is a traitor to the West, plain and simple” after his comments sparked debate.
