¡¡ Biden calls out Musk over a published report that the Tesla CEO once worked in the US illegally By America-Today OCT,28 2024
President Joe Biden slammed Elon Musk for hypocrisy on immigration after a published report that the Tesla CEO once worked illegally in the United States. The South Africa-born Musk denies the allegation. ¡°That wealthiest man in the world turned out to be an illegal worker here. No, I¡¯m serious. He was supposed to be in school when he came on a student visa. He wasn¡¯t in school. He was violating the law. And he¡¯s talking about all these illegals coming our way?¡± Biden said while campaigning on Saturday in Pittsburgh at a union hall. The Washington Post reported that Musk worked illegally in the country while on a student visa. The newspaper, citing company documents, former business associates and court documents, said Musk arrived in Palo Alto, California in 1995 for a graduate program at Stanford University ¡°but never enrolled in courses, working instead on his startup. ¡± Musk wrote on X in reply to a video post of Biden¡¯s comments: ¡°I was in fact allowed to work in the US.¡± Musk added, ¡°The Biden puppet is lying.¡± Investors in Musk¡¯s company, Zip2, were concerned about the possibility of their founder being deported, according to the report, and gave him a deadline for obtaining a work visa. The newspaper also cited a 2005 email from Musk to his Tesla co-founders acknowledging that he did not have authorization to be in the U.S. when he started Zip2. ¡¡ |
