Elon Musk on the assault on Ceuta and the comparison between migrants and zombies: the attack with images from a film and the eulogy to Trump The video

Elon Musk has commented on the migration crisis in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta by comparing the situation to scenes from the horror movie 'World War Z,' where zombies overrun a city. He shared a clip from the film alongside a real video showing migrants entering Ceuta, calling the real situation 'folly.' Musk also posted a video of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border during former President Donald Trump’s administration, suggesting a comparison to current European policies. His posts align with criticism of the Biden administration’s immigration policies and support for stricter border controls, echoing arguments made by figures like Stephen Miller and Steven Cheung from the Trump administration.

Musk compares the migrants of Ceuta to an invasion of zombies on X

He shared a clip from the movie 'World War Z,' showing zombies breaching a wall and invading a city, then added a real-time video of migrants gathering at Ceuta's coast. Musk later clarified that he was joking and posted another video showing migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border under the Biden administration, suggesting a comparison between the two situations.
