Because the annexation of Texas occurred in a different time period than when Malcolm X lived, we have to speculate on what his thoughts might have been. By looking at some of the things Malcolm X believed, we can speculate what he might have thought.
Malcolm X would have been against slavery. Since he was fighting racial segregation in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, it is fair to conclude he would have been against slavery. Since Texas was going to be a slave state, it is reasonable to conclude Malcolm X would be against the annexation of Texas. Malcolm X wanted African-Americans to be treated equally to white people. That was not going to happen in Texas with the existence of slavery.
Malcolm X would probably have been a very strong voice against the annexation of Texas as a state.
