Washington Post reports Elon Musk briefly worked illegally in US in 1990s
Washington Post reported on Saturday that South African-born billionaire businessman Elon Musk worked illegally in the United States during a brief period in the 1990s while building a startup company.
The news outlet reported that Musk arrived in Palo Alto, California, in 1995 to attend Stanford University but never enrolled in his graduate studies program there. Instead, he developed software company Zip2, which sold in 1999 for around $300 million, according to the outlet.
Two immigration law experts quoted by the Post said Musk would have needed to be enrolled in a full course of study in order to maintain a valid work authorization as a student.
Musk did not respond to requests for comment sent to four of his companies — SpaceX, Tesla, the social media company X and The Boring Company — nor did Musk's lawyer Alex Spiro.
Musk in a 2020 podcast cited by the Post said: «I was legally there, but I was meant to be doing student work. I was allowed to do work sort of supporting whatever.»
