    For what it’s worth, from quotes from Kimball Musk, Elon himself, and their associates, it seems as though Elon may have been an illegal immigrant himself at one point. Snopes has collected a lot of the potential info, though they don’t go so far as to reach a conclusion one way or the other.

    I think Trump is going to revoke citizenships and deport people anyways. Which is terrible, but I don’t think him doing so to Musk will be a precedent. If anything it might be interesting to see if he gets any pressure to deport Melania too.

      Well, ignoring the principle of the matter of denaturalizing and deporting American citizens (whether we don’t like them or not), let’s take a look at his threats to revoke Birth right Citizenship. Combine that with his threats of Denaturalization… and we can see that this provides his DOJ with the ability to go as far back as he wants to revoke citizenship for almost anyone in the US.

      You posted memes here about the president? Well, your great grandfather was illegal, so his status has been retroactively revoked, making your entire line non-citizens, so you’re no longer a US citizen, and now we’re deporting you.

      I’m not putting it past him. We are witnessing authoritarianism right now. It’s coming. At some point they won’t even give excuses or provide evidence or facts anymore. He’ll merely dictate your expulsion and no one will be able to refuse.

      I still don’t agree with it sorry. I don’t like him but it’s not something I’m gonna support. This is something we shouldn’t be touching with a 10 foot pole no matter who it is.
