Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann has called for Tesla mogul Elon Musk to be deported, suggesting President Biden use presidential immunity to "get the F out of our country."
Elon Musk's outspoken support for former President Donald Trump has drawn the ire of former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, who has demanded that Musk be deported from the United States.
Olbermann, a staunch Trump critic, accused Musk of spreading misinformation and disinformation about FEMA's recovery efforts after Hurricane Ian. He also criticized Musk for turning Twitter into a "Trump advertising campaign."

"It's time to cancel all the contracts and re-assess his immigration status, and hopefully deport him the hell out of the country," Olbermann said in a video posted to social media.
Musk's appearance at Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, just 12 weeks after he faced an assassination attempt at the same location, was a catalyst for Olbermann's outburst.

"We had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist pumping after getting shot," Musk said, referring to Biden and Trump, respectively.
Olbermann, who has a history of criticizing Trump, has been particularly outspoken since Musk acquired Twitter. He even moved out of his luxury New York City apartment building because it was owned by Trump.

Olbermann's call for Musk's deportation has been met with mixed reactions. Some have expressed support for his stance, while others have accused him of exaggerating the situation.
The White House has stated that FEMA funds spent on the migrant crisis came from a different funding stream and did not impact disaster relief. However, this issue has raised concerns about FEMA's ability to respond to future disasters effectively.

Musk's critics have also accused him of censorship on Twitter, claiming he has allowed hate speech and other offensive content to proliferate on the platform. However, Musk has defended his approach, arguing that he is merely protecting free speech.
The debate over Musk's influence and the future of Twitter is likely to continue in the coming weeks and months. As the platform becomes increasingly polarized, it remains to be seen whether Musk can maintain his commitment to free speech while also ensuring that Twitter is a safe and welcoming space for all users.
