Elon Musk, enemy of "open borders," launched his career working illegally

I don't think that anyone's mad at him, we're just commenting on the hypocrisy... a former undocumented immigrant complaining about undocumented immigrants.

You'll remember that Musk hated Trump until Trump offered to put him in charge of a "government efficiency commission" that would give him the authority to unilaterally oversee his own companies AND give him tax cuts that would put millions in his own pocket. That's when Musk's tone changed...

When did the democrats and liberals get mad at Elon Musk? He leaned politically left, was the leader in their electric cars, saving NASA, and living in California. Elon even said he was remaining neutral in the presidential race. Why would the democrat party that is the party of the Constitution and save the United States from the evil Donald Trump? Why would the democrat party that is so critical of Trump making fun of handicapped people allow their Vice President nominee and other members make fun of Elon that has Asperger syndrome? I wonder what happen. Could it be that he bought Twitter and the democrat party no longer had the monopoly over social media? Surely not because the democrat party would not restrict free speech. They wouldn't send the FBI to social media before a story broke and tell them the democrat nominee for president's son had a computer that was Russian disinformation even though they had the computer for ten months and knew the truth. No, the democrat party can't have their propaganda machine messed with and find out the unemployment rate had to be revised 15 out of 17 months, the border is not secured, the economy is not what they say it is, the tough sanctions on Russia is not working and all the numerous lies we have heard. How dare Elon Musk allow the truth be told?

Elon wants to put brain chips in people, something yall said the COVID vaccine was doing and you were against it....and now he was doing illegal immigration. Almost makes me wonder what it is about him that makes yall turn a blind eye to that....

Thanks for bringing up the rights hate for EVs and Elons love for them Albert.

Trump really does have all yall out here by the hairs. Some of yall have dropped everything you once said was your "moral obligation."

Suckers always fall for the gimmicks.

Hey antZtok, this reportage says your sources are full of 5hit AND your boy, demented pedo joe, was disingenuous AND lying when he spewed this disinformation attack.


Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa, to Maye (née Haldeman), a model, and Errol Musk, a businessman and engineer. Musk briefly attended the University of Pretoria before immigrating to Canada at the age of 18, acquiring citizenship through his Canadian-born mother. Two years later he matriculated at Queen's University at Kingston in Canada. Musk later transferred to the University of Pennsylvania and received bachelor's degrees in economics and physics. He moved to California in 1995 to attend Stanford University, but dropped out after two days and, with his brother Kimbal, co-founded the online city guide software company Zip2.

President Joe Biden called out Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, now a Republican megadonor and Trump campaign surrogate, for hypocrisy on immigration on Saturday, saying Musk launched his long career in the U.S. as an "illegal worker" before becoming the world's wealthiest man.


...


Labeling Musk as former President Donald Trump's wealthy new "ally," Biden said, "That wealthiest man in the world turned out to be an illegal worker here when he was here," referring to Musk.


"He was supposed to be in school when he came on a student visa. He wasn't in school. He was violating the law. He's talking about all these 'illegals' coming our way," Biden added.


...


Biden's comments about Musk, his Trump alliance and hypocrisy on immigration followed a Washington Post report that cites correspondence, legal records and multiple people who helped Musk attain a work visa in 1996 after he had already been working here without one.


Musk had arrived in the U.S. and moved to California with the stated intention of attending grad school at Stanford in the mid-90s. He did not enroll in the program to which he said he was accepted and instead began to build a venture-backed startup called Zip2 with his brother.


The Washington Post wrote that investors in Musk's first company worried about their "'founder being deported' and gave him a deadline for obtaining a work visa."
