i actually have no clue - but isnt musk a u.s. citizen? it would actually surprise me if he were not.

It’s a sketchy story, he was technically in violation of his J1 visa since he was skipping classes and picked up an H1B work visa for his own startup which J1 strictly requires prior authorization for. It would seem he had some strings pulled and got post-hoc pre-authorization, or otherwise took advantage of some grace period and applied for the new visa with a fib. It’s all water under the bridge now, from a brief g…

please avoid weasel words like "technically" - he immigrated illegally, and it was not prosecuted because he is white and wealthy. This is important, since he is now part of a very harsh crackdown against people who are much more vulnerable than he ever has been, and who committed less serious and more understandable infractions.

After he broke US immigration law.

It would be unfair to retroactively remove someone's citizenship for illegally overstaying their own visa... But if you're punishing the child for their parents doing it, then it's just common-sense justice! /S I'm really tired of all this Calvinball.

TIL the term Calvinball: so great and apropos.

And you honestly believe these "special" news sources are not spun to at least the same degree. I think you have a few nasty surprises coming up.

They aren't. You are showing your true colors. Fox news literally says in it's tos that it's a source of entertainment and not real news. There is no false equivalence here. Fox news is absolute trash. Don't even attempt to put it in the same conversation as othe news sources.

Good luck with that!

Nothing to see here. Just a massive conflict of interest from an unelected foreigner exacting power over your government.

Trump was elected, and he was born in the US, though he does have German ancestry. As an immigrant myself, I personally find it very worrying though that it becomes normal to use foreign descent as a slur in the American political debate. I thought at least the left is supportive of immigrants, but looks like it's conditional on political views and no person of foreign descent can feel safe from attack because of their origin.

She was born in Philadelphia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Fong

Elon Musk, however, was not.

Right. Because that's how presidential elections work - the president must do everything personally for the next 4 years and is not allowed to use other people to act on his behalf. That's what Biden did all 4 years for example.

He's naturalized an American for roughly 20 years.

After he broke US immigration law.

A lot of people who broke US immigration law are now naturalized citizens.

Our government is literally falling in a matter of weeks. It's being assaulted, and we're all just standing by.

The people spoke very clearly in November: they wanted this.

Where do you get that from? Huge numbers didn’t vote. Of those who did Trump squeaked by with a small lead but significantly less than 50% of the populace voted for him.

He has no mandate.
