    Filthy rich, white. He gets the wag of the finger treatment and nothing worse. Just like Trump.

      In this specific case? It comes down to a civil servant getting paid 80k a year. If they get his case file for review and they flag it then the government starts doing it’s thing. Of course it will end up in court but a normal court can’t do much about it. Which is how Elon’s bestest buddies set it up. And once it’s on his file that he lied in order to gain citizenship or residency he’s straight up barred.

      In other words, if he lied then it will take a literal act of congress to save his citizenship.

        I appreciate the wisdom of your words, but the past few years have planted me squarely in the camp of “I’ll see it when I believe it” when it comes to any sort of consequence for powerful, wealthy Republicans.

    Isn’t that cute? They think that laws apply to billionaires.

      Without straight up ignoring the law in this case, which State Department is more than capable of doing, it’s really not a different law.

      But liberty and justice is in the brainwash pledge that the kids have to do every day. It can’t be a lie can it?

    You guys understand that even the immigration system is pay-to-win, right? Regardless of what happens, I don’t think Elon will have any issues.

      While I don’t disagree at all, even in many of these instances lying to immigration officials is a fast track to being denied entry ever again.

      Obviously, Musk is going to get back in, but as a political pawn, kicking Musk out of the country being a legitimate option must be absolutely incredible.

      Exactly. He would just reapply under the category of “director of a company” or as “individual of extraordinary abilities”.

        No, you are not allowed to lie in immigration application forms, it says so right in the title!

    Yeah. Court couldn’t even issue a warrant today after he didn’t bother to show up. Wake me up when rich people face consequences.

    Remember all those headlines saying things like 'Trump could be found guilty of violating emoluments clause?" Yeah, put this in the same bucket.
