TIL that Elon Musk was an illegal immigrant
Musk called his immigration status a 'gray area' while discussing the 1990s.

The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”

He thinks himself "one of the good ones". The dissonance is right up there with "the only moral abortion is my abortion".

I’m sure he has an E2 Visa, or probably an EB-5
The rules for immigration are different if you run a business
