Was Elon Musk an Illegal Immigrant

[media=https://youtu.be/PXwtnEHsjyk?si=hwBIk9xHevGdi8rK]

Was he an illegal immigrant - after dropping out of the foreign student program from South Africa! How much time lapsed?? He who now stands against illegal immigrants after he's made his billions. Exact time unknown but one week, one month, one year illegal is illegal.
He came to the US via Canada for college (a Ph.D program) and delayed it for 6 months. In that time he got a EB-5 investor green card, and could legally work. What was illegal was working on the side. He is a US citizen now and most he can get is fined for illegal work, as he didn't apply for citizenship off his student visa but rather his residency via his EB-5 investor green card. His EB-5 investor green card was aquired legitimately, as was his naturalization, both without fraud. Most the courts could revoke is a long expired student visa.

@Motzu

Thank you for that history illegal is still illegal.

I'm quite sure he is a citizen now and most likely has been for quite some time - the rich wouldn't allow him not to be and support him.

The courts are not thinking of him.

But I am curious how long was he doing his illegal working activities Washington Post or Reuters indicates four or five years.

Seemingly the point would be he worked here in the states illegally intentionally and he stands against illegal immigrants......

And I am not saying immigrants legal or illegal should be admitted to the states.

Open border means immigrants trying to enter into the United States to become residents and legal citizens and Musk from what I hear is against open borders that's why I asked the questions?
@Learninglife9 The investors in his first company realized he wasn't in the US legally and got him a investors greencard.

US tends not to deport the top paying illegals who PAY TAXES. Carlos Mencia the Comedian used to joke about that alot. The Greencard Elon had bought for him costed between $500,000 to $1,000,000 dollars. It wasn't fradulant.

The situation you are looking for is when it is lying to become a US Citizen (Musk is legalized). That's the only circumstance that a immigration judge can strip US citizenship from someone and deport them, otherwise it is illegal. Musk didn't do that. So most he faces is a fine. A act of congress can strip Musk of his citizenship as well (they control it constitutionally, not the President).

And I agree with you, Musk did bad, I am tired of Canadians sneaking down here and doing illegal work. I'm sure the fine costs a few grand and he should face his day in arbitration with immigration lawyers and pay up, and apologize on twitter.
I think South Africa is at least half one of the good countries, the ones we dont mind immigrants from.

Or did that change?

@BohemianBabe I find it strange too as most conservatives hate the thought of EV’s. Just goes to show most would sell their soul to the devil if it suits them.
@Handfull1 It's because the Right just needs an enemy, regardless of consistency. Republicans have downplayed their anti-environmentalism in recent years, now the big threats are migrants and trans people.
Of course, that's just propaganda, the actual agenda never changes. That's why they were able to ignore abortion rights, but then ban abortion the moment it became an option.

He has also engineered the greatest space achievement in the history of mankind. @MistyCee

Is that they new line of lib propaganda? ( aka LIE) Good luck with that one. If he voted Democrat, would you have still lied about his immigration status?
TexChik · F
@Learninglife9 clearly you do ... spread your lib propaganda.
craig7 · 70-79, M
@TexChik Yes,looking on from outside the U.S.,it's pretty clear that desperation - perhaps panic - has taken hold,ahead of Tuesday next week.
Learninglife9 · 61-69, F
@craig7

Now tell me what is Elon running for - president _ senator _ Governor _ mayor? That would make panic set in or even desperation.

And if you're truly are outside of the US maybe you don't know the Democrats has raised three times more than Trump if you think the post is about Elon supporting of trump which it is not.

Not all post are about the presidential race and when I post one concerning Elon and Trump I indicate it on my post --- outside of the United States.

Truth generally comes out - this article says he never enrolled in the University.
He started immediately on his own project and that was over a 4-year span of time.

If only they could get documents showing when he actually became a citizen.

And when you look at what he supporting he too is crooked - and crooks lie, cheat, and steal.
Elon Musk is an illegal human!

While he was born in South Africa and was a citizen. He subsequently became a Canadian Citizen ( through his Mother) and it was as a Canadian he entered the USA . 😂😂😂😂

@Anniedlr us Canadians really like to get around and stir things up
Northwest · M
@Anniedlr Funny story, Trump's first initially married a Canadian guy to escape Eastern Europe, but that was a fake marriage, because she was hoping to hook up with some other guy. Eventually she was her Canadian credentials to enter the US and hook up with Trump.

Funny watching democrats grasping at straws. 😅

@carpediem

naturally - after all with that post you really wouldn't have nothing negative to say about other people. Oh maybe you would against Christians and their theology.

@wildbill83

You have to be talking about Trump - former president Obama did no such thing.

@wildbill83 no I'm not are you and if you believe Trump and the Republicans what else can I say
atlantic59 · 61-69, M
all I know is he might be my only internet provider to my Nova Scotia rurals after my other one has suddenly given notice after Government Incentives dried up. I think it's called Starlink, and requires a 300 dollar upfront deposit, but who needs internet anyway. We never had it when I was a kid
He's not against legal immigration.
@BohemianBabe I don't obsess over it either but there were some calls made and weird happenings and some people jumped to conclusions. I think you're overthinking it in the same way you think conservatives overthink immigration. I think it's normal to be wary of people you know.
There was a girl from here that said she ate dog so it happens. I forget now what country she said she was from. @BohemianBabe
@Spoiledbrat I'm not saying you're racist. I'm talking about people like Trump, Vance, and Musk who are knowingly spreading these lies.
At one point, Vance even acknowledged that there's no evidence for any of those claims, but said he's still going to talk about Haitians eating pets in order to get the media's attention. Basically just admitting that he's lying.

I'm sure there are plenty of normies who believe this story because they're just gullible and don't fact-check anything. But the Republicans are knowingly spreading lies.
Im guessing you're voting Harris cause they are the only ones complaining about his status..

@SStarfish it’s because Republicans are complaining about the rest of illegal immigration! Go figure!
Strictmichael75 · 61-69, M
And has been having secret phone call with Putin, orange man’s boss!
What information has he been peddling ?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
He followed the rules and is a US citizen.
Learninglife9 · 61-69, F
@jackjjackson

According to reports he was illegal.
According to his brother they were both illegal. According to reports it wasn't until he started his company in 1996 when his investors found out he was illegal at some point later they helped with a certain type of work visa. According to reports he came in 1992 and did not acquire his citizenship until 2002.

@Northwest

I was trying to ask how did you get links you posted to work.

I post links and they never work!

And I see you have your own post about Elon From The Washington Post who released this information in the present year.

Great work!
Northwest · M
@Learninglife9 I have paid subscription to the WaPo, NYT, Seattle Times and Haaretz (an Israeli paper).

Similar World will allow you to link to a thread on SW, but will not allow you to link to an article from another web site, this is why I paste entire articles.

@Northwest
Okay thanks, you're the second person that's said they pasted links so I guess that's what you have to do.
