Billionaire Elon Musk marked the grand return of Donald Trump, of whom he is a staunch supporter, into the White House as the 47th President of the United States with a special post on X. He shared a side-by-side collage of when Trump’s account was suspended on then Twitter in 2021 and the return of Trump’s POTUS (President of the United States) account as the 45th and 47th US President.

Coming in heavily to deliver his promise of restricting immigration into the US, Donald Trump banned the CBP One app that facilitated the legal entry of nearly 1 million people into the United States by granting them work eligibility. The decision was announced just minutes after Trump was sworn-in as the 47th President of the United States.

The impact of this move was immediate, as people in Mexico, who were waiting for their CBP One parole appointments, were reportedly left devastated upon hearing the news. According to a post shared on X by Arelis R. Hernández, a journalist with The Washington Post, some migrants in Mexico were seen crying when they learned that their appointments were no longer valid.
