Elon Musk Was an Illegal Migrant Worker Who Abused his Student Visa When He Founded First Company (www.thedailybeast.com)

Elon Musk worked illegally on a student visa and faced concerns he would be “deported” when he started life in the United States, a bombshell report revealed Saturday.

The billionaire South African-born immigrant also admitted in an email that he “had no legal right to stay in the country” when he ditched his studies and founded a company which he later sold for more than $300 million, The Washington Post reported. His brother was also here illegally, committing what one expert called “fraud upon entry.”

The revelation comes after Musk, the Tesla, X, SpaceX and Starlink CEO went all-in on supporting Donald Trump and repeatedly accused Democrats of trying to flood the country with immigrants who cross the border illegally, a conspiracy theory which has become mainstream in the Republican party. Bloomberg called him “X’s biggest promote of anti-immigrant conspiracies.”

The frustrating thing about reading these things is always the lack of empathy from those who have a first hand understanding on the matter.

My personal conspiracy theory is Elon is a Russian spy. If that turns out to be true then he wouldn't really have a first hand understanding since the FSB would find a way to fix his papers if needed.

Bruh Russia has trouble keeping the lights on and is turning to North Korea for help. I doubt its any kind of kompromat because he clearly has no shame, and seems to revel in evading consequences. To me he’s the type of clown who needs to be in the mix (mixie as the kids say), and he’s getting it, cause look how many people are talking about him. He is just a rich dipshit with stunted growth because he rarely hears no, while people will generally accept his commands. This is just a Kick streamer from the VCR era with substantially more funding.
