Suffice to say, no, the kids are not ok -- just as some of his followers pointed out. They're very much not alright.
In another tweet in the exchange, Musk -- who was born in South Africa and came to the U.S. during college -- says he's "enquiring on many channels" about the detainment camps. What exactly he plans to do, if anything, though isn't detailed.

The ACLU confirmed that Musk is, indeed, a "top donor" but didn't offer any other details.
