Elon Musk briefly worked illegally in the US after abandoning a graduate studies program in California, according to a Washington Post report that contrasted the episode with the South African multibillionaire’s anti-immigration views.
Legal experts said foreign students cannot drop out of school to build a company even if they are not getting paid.
Musk has previously said: “I was legally there, but I was meant to be doing student work.
Musk employs 121,000 people at Tesla, about 13,000 at SpaceX and nearly 3,000 at X.
Musk in turn has accused the vice-president and her fellow Democrats of “importing voters” through illegal and temporary protected status immigration.
“Musk posted more than 1,300 times about the topic overall, with more than 330 posts in the past 2 months alone.”.
That makes Musk “the most widely read person on the site today”, Bloomberg said. »
