The richest man in the world appears to have worked in the US without authorization. According to experts, if he did so and lied about it as part of the immigration process, he could be denaturalized.

    If you think the US government is revoking the citizenship of a billionaire I have a bridge to sell you

      It wouldn’t happen, but theoretically if it did it could be hilarious.

      The US doesn’t look kindly on people who lied on official documents. Mostly this affects people who once came into the country illegally or overstayed their visas. That makes it nearly impossible for them to get citizenship later. So, if Musk had his citizenship stripped, he could be in a position where he could never get it back.

      Additionally, the US has an exit tax for citizens who want to renounce their citizenship. That includes taxes on “Assets that haven’t been taxed yet but would be in the future, such as capital gains on stocks or funds in retirement accounts”. So, if they hit him with that after stripping him of his citizenship, they could tax the hundreds of billions of unrealized gains in his various companies.

      I agree that it’s not going to happen unless something dramatically changes, but if it did it would be epic.

      How much are you asking?

      I don’t think Musk is losing his citizenship, I’m just curious about that bridge.

      Realistically probably can seize starlink as 90% of it is tax dollars anyways and it has government (military) contracts

    Musk has posted around 1,300 times on X this year about immigration and voter fraud.

    Yeesh. And that’s just a couple topics. He knows he has other companies too, right?

      And to be clear, posting on X is in no way related to leadership duties at X.

      Spoiler: Elon doesn’t actually do anything. He posts to X an average of every like 20 minutes, literally all day and night. He doesn’t have time for anything except low-effort trolling.

      Conservatives tend to create rage bait around single issues. It’s been their tactic throughout history, get people mad about specific things and they will ignore the rest, notice how everything is always blamed on immigrants.

    That’s an interesting title. Bad things can happen to someone if that someone does something bad…

    Because that would be unethical and we hold ourselves (even when trolling on alts) to a higher standard.
