Watch Elon Musk Talk About Being an ‘Illegal Immigrant’ in Video From 2013
gizmodo.com
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.”

    The thing is, a lot of white people in the US are probably descendants of illegal immigration and they either dont know, or dont care. I know my family is. During the Irish potato famine we can trace when my ancestors immigrated to Canada and illegally hopped the boarder into the US(they should’ve stayed in Canada, I could’ve been Canadian and have access to healthcare damnnit)

    I know my ancestors aren’t the only ones who did that. People were desperate then, just like they are now.

    I hate that this country has way too many bigoted hypocrites and too many talking heads that encourage them to believe bullshit lies.
