In an interesting revelation, The Washington Post reported that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk may have briefly violated United States (US) immigration laws in the 1990s while working on his first business, Zip2.
Musk, originally from South Africa, reportedly came to Palo Alto, California, intending to continue his studies at Stanford University but the opposite happened when he launched his first company called Zip2, which was later sold for nearly $300 million.
Musk disputed the claim, stating that he held a valid J-1 visa for academic training, which eventually transitioned to an H1-B visa for temporary employment.
However, immigration experts cited by The Post suggested that Musk may need to be enrolled in a full-time course to ensure his work authorization is valid.
Interestingly, Musk's alleged visa complications have not stopped him from making strides in the tech world, nor have they affected his recent support for former President Donald Trump, who has promised to overhaul US immigration policy.
