Elon Musk is the prime example of what happens when one starts consuming nonsensical claims and conspiracy theories on social media on a daily basis because they think it makes them look cool and smart, while lacking the instinct to check if what they consume is actually true.

“Still no surge” says CNN as they show a surge on their graphic.
How stupid do they think the American people are?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the image, there is no surge in “US Border Encounters”. The days on the bottom happened before the days on the top.
Using outside sources, it can be confirmed that border encounters have fallen in the last week.
