Elon Musk indirectly criticized Gov. Maura Healey’s handling of immigration in Massachusetts, saying “now they want your homes too” in a repost of an August news story on the administration’s efforts to find more housing for homeless families.

The eccentric billionaire posted a message Tuesday night highlighting Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll’s call in August to those with an extra room in their home to consider hosting a homeless family as state-run shelters started to overcrowd amid an influx of migrants and crushing housing costs in Massachusetts.

“They’ve run out of hotel rooms, are kicking kids out of school for illegal housing and now they want your homes too,” Musk said in a social media post that garnered more than 24 million impressions as of Wednesday morning.

Massachusetts is not removing students from school to create more shelter space nor are migrants living in state-run shelters considered illegal as they have been lawfully allowed into the United States by the federal government.

Healey spokesperson Karissa Hand said Massachusetts is “continuing to come together to address this situation.”
