A recent investigation by The Washington Post has revealed that South African-born billionaire Elon Musk may have violated U.S. immigration laws during his early entrepreneurial activities in the 1990s. Arriving in Palo Alto in 1995 with plans to attend Stanford University, Musk instead chose to start Zip2, a tech company that was sold for around $300 million in 1999.
The report, citing immigration law specialists, points out that Musk would have been required to be enrolled in a full course of study to legally work in the United States. Despite multiple attempts, neither Musk nor his companies—SpaceX, Tesla, X, and The Boring Company—have provided a comment on these findings.
In a podcast from 2020, Musk reportedly mentioned that he was in the U.S. legally and supposed to be performing student work. Additionally, Musk, who has publically supported Republican Donald Trump in the upcoming election, received his work authorization approximately two years after his initial arrival, according to former colleagues.
