Elon Musk Claims Student Visa Permitted Him to Work in the U.S.

He denied working in the U.S. illegally

In a late-night post to X, formerly known as Twitter, Elon Musk denied having worked illegally in the United States, following a Washington Post report that said Musk lacked the legal status to build the start-up that made him a millionaire in the 1990s.

"I was in fact allowed to work in the U.S.," Musk wrote on X, the platform he bought in 2022, in a post at 12:40 a.m. ET Sunday.

Musk’s denial followed remarks from President Joe Biden, who seized on The Post’s reporting Saturday to accuse the man who has allied with former president Donald Trump in the upcoming election of a double standard.
