Note that I don't have a problem with anyone's immigration status except Musk's simply due to hypocrisy because he is railing against immigration when he himself is likely an illegal immigrant. I just think it's funny that conservatives always say that immigrants are ruining the country but they have the wrong people identified as the problem.

I recently found out Elon was potentially an undocumented worker while "interning" in Silicon Valley. He says he got his degree at UPenn in 1995 and was at Stanford for his Master's right after, but UPenn doesn't have him getting his degree until 1997, and Stanford has no record of him actually enrolling in the college in 95/96, even though he was accepted. If he was legitimately interning in Silicon Valley through UPenn, why not just say that?

Plus, there is footage of him and his brother Kimbal speaking in 2013 at the Milken Institute (I can't find the exact clip right now, unfortunately) where Kimbal admits word for word "We were illegal workers" while Elon hems and haws and says "It's a grey area" while the crowd laughs.

The hypocrisy is so maddening.

Yes, it's this one, thank you! Youtube search really failed me.
