Elon Musk worked illegally on a student visa and faced concerns he would be “deported” when he started life in the United States, a bombshell report revealed Saturday.

The billionaire South African-born immigrant also admitted in an email that he “had no legal right to stay in the country” when he ditched his studies and founded a company which he later sold for more than $300 million, The Washington Post reported. His brother was also here illegally, committing what one expert called “fraud upon entry.”

The revelation comes after Musk, the Tesla, X, SpaceX and Starlink CEO went all-in on supporting Donald Trump and repeatedly accused Democrats of trying to flood the country with immigrants who cross the border illegally, a conspiracy theory which has become mainstream in the Republican party. Bloomberg called him “X’s biggest promote of anti-immigrant conspiracies.”

      Seize his ill gained assets to pay slave reparations against his blood emerald family history and holdings! Prove that the South has changed and Republicans and Conservatives are not Confederates still fighting for slavery! The bible says to pay back seven times for what has been stollen and to cut the hand off the thief! It says to stone the adulterer while this unmarried man has children with many women out of wedlock and advocates for others to do so. Who dares to follow a man that surrounds himself with a corporate drug culture. This is the leader you follow, marching to the beat of the hawker of Chinese bibles while claiming to support american jobs…

      I could do this for days…

      Hair transplants don’t come from other people. They just rearrange follicles the baldy already has.
