  1. maybe those guys screaming illegals should do something about that student visa loophole

  2. Joe has that second semester of Senior year energy right now.

  3. Interesting- bit more complicated now that he’s a citizen, but if he was still on visas, this would be grounds to deport him. As a citizen, he may have actually lied on his application if he knew he was working illegally, so it actually might be able to be challenged

  6. Did he lie on any of his green card / citizenship applications?

  7. Immigration is an Executive Branch agency. Joe should deport him now. And strip his NASA contracts. After all, Joe would have immunity as this is an “official” function of his office.

  10. I love Musk’s carefully scripted response where Musk did not say when he transitioned from a student visa to the temporary work visa.

    *Upon learning that Musk lacked the legal status he needed, investors scrambled to help him secure a visa over concerns that the matter would have to be disclosed in a securities filing if the company were to go public.*

    *“We don’t want our founder being deported,” said Derek Proudian, the Zip2 board member, who later became chief executive.*

    *The White House and Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment.*

  11. Biden doesn’t need to say it, Mush was an illegal worker. Let’s stop phrasing things as up for debate.

  12. Illegal immigrants are only cool when they are white and their pockets are stuffed with daddy’s emeralds.

  13. Biden didn’t just “say it” — he related the contents of a thoroughly researched article that includes commentary from many people working with Musk at the time. With emails from Musk himself declaring he was not legally allowed to work and was trying to find ways to stay in the country.

    Trump just says stuff. For the most part, Biden (and Harris) relate what is well established evidence.

  14. Revoke his citizenship and deport him.

    Please. It would be so goddamn funny.

  15. It’s impressive that one illegal immigrant managed to steal thousands and thousands of American jobs all on his own

  17. This has been proven many times previously and Elons cult, sorry, followers downplay it because they believe all of musks propaganda, sorry, publicity that he has paid to put out to create his image.
    It’s why too many people believe the lie he founded Tesla or created the OG cars of Tesla. He bought it, first vehicle he made start to finish is the cyber truck, and his choices in owning Tesla have actually caused newer models to be less valuable than OG models (from cheaper parts to knowingly inaccurate software).

    Musk is not a Stark level genius billionaire philanthropist. He is the Hammer knock off version at best.

  18. Strip him of all ill-gotten gains and deport the idiot after he serves time in prison for falsifying government documents.

  19. Come on Dark Brandon! How epic would it be if Musk loses everything and gets deported? Sure it’s not that simple but a poor man can dream. Ha

  20. Seems like a nudge to Garland to get off his behind and address the threat he now poses.

  21. Mofo is an immigrant who got his citizenship in 2002.

    Over here talking short about illegal Mexicans like his white blood mattered in South Africa 🤔

  22. This plus the treason, I don’t see why they don’t send some jackboots to arrest him and try him for treason (talking to a hostile power while having defence contracts with their adversaries). Like yeah the visa stuff means he got his citizenship through fraud, so they could conceivably revoke it and deport him, however it would be easier to get him on treason.

  24. he was illegal, so still is i suppose,and his billions obtained illegally should be forfeit

  25. Let’s all repeat the GOP quiet part out loud:

    >We didn’t mean *white* immigrants.

  29. And? It’s going to change what? You’ve got a FELON running for president, America.

  30. Bidens right, if we can get rid of Elon we can get rid of them all

  31. You can be 100% sure that Trump will let him buy a pardon for that crime.

  33. love the biden flanking. a bit late but better late than never

  35. Someone should ask Trump if they should take the money from people who came here illegally… I suspect he’ll say yes. Which is super awkward for Elon.
