Post whatever you want as long as it doesn't break any rules:

  1. Be civil. No trolling, flamebaiting, etc.

  2. No religion, no politics, and try to avoid posting anything too controversial.

  3. Have fun!

The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”

Musk is African-American, so he's an edge case.

Not really. He's rich, that supersedes all other things such as race.

Oh of course, silly me forgot to take that into account.

He's not African American and he's an illegal immigrant in the US.

If he were deported I’d laugh my ass off

The rules are not for the rich.

I know it’d never happen. But it’d be hilarious if it did

ELON MUSK IS AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.

Doesn’t matter now.

He thinks himself "one of the good ones". The dissonance is right up there with "the only moral abortion is my abortion".

Ha! What a coincidence.

I’m sure he has an E2 Visa, or probably an EB-5

The rules for immigration are different if you run a business
