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.”

The rules are not for the rich.

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

Musk is African-American, so he's an edge case.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Not really. He's rich, that supersedes all other things such as race.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

He's not African American and he's an illegal immigrant in the US.

Oh of course, silly me forgot to take that into account.
