Elon Musk continues to oppose undocumented immigrants in the United States. A new report has found he once worked illegally in this country.
The polarizing entrepreneur has been openly critical about the country’s border control. As spotted on Raw Story the Tesla CEO seemingly started his career without having the proper paperwork in place. The Washington Post reports that Elon Musk had big dreams when he was attending Stanford University. In 1995 the South African native was in America on a student visa but during the fall semester he apparently informed the institution that he would no longer be taking classes.
According to the terms of the legal document he should have left the country but he continued to live in the United States attempting to jumpstart his company Zip2 (formerly known as Global Link Information Network). In 1996 a venture capital firm agreed to invest into Zip2 but quickly found out that both Elon Musk and his brother Kimbal Musk were here illegally thus the firm demanded the two siblings acquire their work visa in 45 days or the deal was off. “Their immigration status was not what it should be for them to be legally employed running a company in the U.S.,” Zip2 board member Derek Proudian said in an exclusive statement to The Post. “We don’t want our founder being deported.”
This is particularly ironic given Elon Musk has spreader anti-immigrant conspiracy theories through his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. Earlier this year he very critical of Joe Biden’s reelection campaign tactics and hinted that it immigrants would cause terrorist attacks. “This administration is both importing voters and creating a national security threat from unvetted illegal immigrants. It is highly probable that the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11. Just a matter of time.” he wrote.

Recently Musk attended Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, PA. and jumped around like a fanboy and went on to spread mistruths about Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz. Elon has yet to formally respond to The Washington Post‘s report.
