Phil Mickelson has backed Elon Musk’s outrage over the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) spending $59 million on luxury hotels to shelter illegal migrants. He wrote that the country needs to prioritize its citizens’ interests first.
On Monday, February 10, Elon Musk took to X to slam FEMA.
“The DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants,” he wrote. “Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order.”
Musk added that the money was intended for American disaster relief but was wrongly being spent on luxury hotels for illegal immigrants.
“A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds,” he added.
Phil Mickelson reposted Musk’s comments and endorsed his views.
“Thank you for pointing this out Elon,” he wrote. “How about we take care of Americans first? Maybe we can start by helping our Veterans or fellow Americans in need before we misallocate funds from their intended purpose.
A couple of weeks ago, President Donald Trump had also called for the dissolving of the FEMA.
“FEMA has been a very big disappointment,” the Republican President said as per the Hindu. “It’s very bureaucratic. And it’s very slow.”
