Washington Post contrasts the episode with the South African multibillionaire’s anti-immigration views
Elon Musk briefly worked illegally in the US after abandoning a graduate studies program in California, according to a Washington Post report that contrasted the episode with the South African multibillionaire’s anti-immigration views.
The boss of Tesla and SpaceX, who has in recent weeks supported Donald Trump’s campaign for a second presidency while promoting the Republican White House nominee’s opposition to “open borders” on his X social media site, has previously maintained that his transition from student to entrepreneur was a “legal grey area”.
But the Washington Post reported Saturday that the world’s wealthiest individual was almost certainly working in the US without correct authorization for a period in 1995 after he dropped out of Stanford University to work on his debut company, Zip2, which sold for about $300m four years later.
It’s okay for whites to do it. We are a white supremacist country after all. Before a bunch of liberal get their panties in a bunch we literally jail the most people on the planet. We practice de facto Jim Crow but just call it drug enforcement and other flimsy pretextes.
“You’re not supposed to go around saying that we’re ‘white supremacist’, it de-legitimises our white supremacy!”
