Elon Musk Could Have US Citizenship Revoked If He Lied on Immigration Forms
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.
About tree fiddy
That's what I expected. Damn you Loch Ness monster.
Why buy the bridge when you could buy a Senator for less?
