Elon Musk Was an Illegal Immigrant

Musk was Illegally staying in the U.S. on a Student Visa, despite Dropping-Out of School.

While Musk, who is from South Africa, Emigrated to attend Stanford University, but called His Department Chair shortly after Fall 1995 Semester began to inform Him that He wouldn't be attending Classes.

At that point, Musk was Legally obligated to leave the U.S. But instead, He Illegally overstayed His Visa while building His First Company, Zip2, originally called the Global Link Information Network.

Venture Capital Firm Mohr Davidow Ventures made a $3 million Investment into Zip2 in 1996. Upon learning that both Musk and His Brother, Kimbal, didn't have Legal Status to be in the U.S., the Funding Agreement included a Clause that Stipulated Mohr could claw back its Investment. if the Two didn't obtain a Legal Work Visa within 45 days.

"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. “We don’t want our founder being deported."

Because U.S. Immigration Records aren't Public, determining when Musk's Immigration Status Changed is difficult to ascertain.

However, Two different Biographers who wrote that Mohr ultimately arranged for an Attorney to line up Visas for both Elon and Kimbal Musk in 1996.

This means both He and His Brother were Technically Illegal Immigrants for at lest the better part of a Year. This is particularly Noteworthy, as Elon Musk has used His Social Media Platform X to regularly launch Attacks against and spread Disinformation about Undocumented Immigrants.

"[I]llegals in America can get bank loans, mortgages, insurance, driver's licenses, free healthcare (California & New York) and in-state college tuition," Musk tweeted in February. "What's the point of being a citizen if an illegal gets all the benefits, but doesn't pay taxes or do jury duty?" Again not True. They pay Federal, Stte, and Local Taxes and puts Money into Social Security, that they will Not receive, unless they brcome Ciitizens.

Musk's Colleagues confirmed that He drove a Car during the Period in which He was in the U.S. Illegally, meaning Hhe would have needed both a Driver's License and Auto Insurance in order to do so.

The Report also Confirms what Kimbal Musk said in a 2013 Interview, when saying that He and His Brother "were illegal immigrants" when their Company landed the $3 million Investment from Mohr. Elon didn't use that exact Phrasing, but rather said that their Status "was a grey area."
