"I spent 30 hours at LAX immigration trying to explain that my s--- posts were just a joke and that I didn't actually plan to personally move into her mansion," he continued.

Pavlou added that most of the agents he encountered were "nice" and "laughed at the idea," but there was "nothing [he] could do" to escape the situation.

"Maybe evil leftists are still in charge of sections of the bureaucracy. I guess some people are in fact actually illegal on stolen land, and I guess I am just a BAD GUY…. 

"Honestly I am legitimately one of the most misunderstood theorists/artists of the 21st century," he added.

"Bad Guy," which is stylized in lower-case, is the name of one of Eilish's songs.

"The agents were asking me about my entire history as an activist opposed to the Chinese government, whether I had ever plotted to assassinate Chinese Communist Party officials; it was legitimately insane," he recalled.

"I suffered for my art as an online s---poster," he added.

"They didn't ban me from the US but they said I have to apply with a different visa next time," he elaborated.

He also replied to a community note that said he wasn't deported but rather "denied entry" because of visa issues. 

"Community note is wrong, customs officials told me that I was denied entry because of the Billie Eilish posts," he wrote.
