X owner Elon Musk dunked on former CNN host Don Lemon during an
interview that aired this week after Lemon claimed that illegal
aliens did not impact elections in the U.S.
 
The interview aired on Lemon’s new show “The Don Lemon Show,” which
has struggled to gain any traction — many of his videos on YouTube
have struggled to gain a few thousand views.
 
Musk noted that illegal aliens have a “very strong bias toward
Democrat” and he believes that Democrats are intentionally allowing
illegal immigration to help their electoral power.
 
“When the census is done, the census is based on all people in an
area, whether they are citizens or not,” Musk said. “So if there are
a concentration of people who came here illegally in a particular
state that state will actually then get an increased number of House
seats. So the House seat apportionment is proportional to number of
people, not the number of citizens. So the illegals overwhelmingly go
to places like California, New York.”
 
“And if you just look at that the math, if you look at the
apportionment, with or without illegals … I believe the blue states,
there would be a net loss of blue states of approximately 20 seats in
the House,” he added. “This also applies to the the Electoral
College. This also applies to electing the president. Because the
same, the electoral votes are also done by apportionment the same way
that House seats are done.”
 
Lemon claimed that Musk did not know what he was talking about and,
in fact, that reality was “the exact opposite” of what Musk said.
 
“If as is the case, a disproportionate number of illegal immigrants
go to blue states, they amplify the effect of a blue state vote,”
Musk explained. “And the math as I understand it, you can research
this obviously, very easily. It’s pretty straightforward to research
this. But my understanding is that the Democrats would lose
approximately 20 seats in the House if illegals were not counted in
the census, and that’s also 20 Less electoral votes for president.. So
illegals absolutely do affect the who controls the House and who
controls the presidency. It does not affect the Senate.”

Elon Musk debating Don Lemon on *anything* always reminds me of a line
from the Partridge Family where Danny Bonaduce says he would gladly
have a battle of wits with the guy he's talking to but he "never does
battle with an unarmed man".

A brilliant visionary like Musk taking on a halfwit like Lemon is pure
entertainment gold.
