In addition to Musk’s praise, others have expressed strong support for Homan’s leadership.

Now compare him with Biden’s border czar.” Sharma’s comment underscores Homan’s reputation as a no-nonsense leader who has earned respect for his tough stance on immigration and deportation, contrasting him with other figures in the ongoing debate over border policy.

The Twitter CEO’s support is especially noteworthy because it comes from a well-known business figure who is renowned for voicing his opinions on a wide range of social and political matters. Musk has frequently expressed his views on anything from technology to international politics using his platform, and this most recent tweet further demonstrates his support for initiatives to strengthen border security.

A policy area that has received a lot of attention recently, Homan has pushed for the employment of cutting-edge technology, additional personnel, and more rules to handle the issues at the U.S. southern border.
