Turns out that drug-addled billionaire Elon Musk was an illegal immigrant and could’ve been deported in the 1990s, as the Washington Post reports that his arrival in California for grad courses at Stanford that he never actually enrolled in and then working on a startup was a visa violation.
Even just dropping out meant his student visa was null and void. Working on launching “Zip2” was illegal. “If you do anything that helps to facilitate revenue creation, such as design code or try to make sales in furtherance of revenue creation, then you’re in trouble,” former Justice Department immigration litigator Leon Fresco told the Post. Musk has never publicly owned up to this.
