Elon Musk, who is overseeing the President Donald Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, has accused California of encouraging an influx of illegal immigrants.
The tech billionaire, who stated this in an interview with Joe Rogan, said healthcare services are free for illegals in California with a whopping $9 billion tax burden.
According to Musk, what happens in California “is that you simply have more patients than a doctor can see”.
Musk described the healthcare policy in the state as “a gigantic magnet for more illegals” to come into the United States.
He claimed that the elite in California are doing fine because they can afford private doctors, “but your average citizen in California is not doing fine”.
“So then the average citizen in California suffers as a result. Now, the elite in California are fine ’cause they have private doctors, they can just pay, pay for the best doctors.
“The tax burden for healthcare for legals was supposed to be $3 billion. I think they now estimate it’s $9 billion. But that number will scale to infinity”, Musk added.
