Trying to find when Musk immigrated. He married in 2000, but was working in the US since 1995.

Was he doing that on a student visa?!?!

@feloneouscat You check the Wiki page??

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Mus

According to wiki was going to school in Canada until 1992 when he enrolled at Penn.

Got a Canadian passport through his mother (who is Canadian).

@feloneouscat Wiki also notes he became a US citizen in 2002.

I mean something other than Wikipedia. There is no source showing where they got 2002. As such I don’t trust it. For all I know, Musk could have altered it.

I’m deeply distrustful of non-sourced dates and it is just the thing Musk would lie about.

Hence the need to validate.

@TheLegend_AZ

He also dropped out after two days at Stanford while also working. This implies he was on a student visa where working is a no-no.

So my question starts morphing into, “Was he legally working in the US?”… everything I find seems to point to ‘No, he was not legally working in the US’ — which would be on brand.
