The claim that Elon Musk is not a US citizen is false, as he became a US citizen in 2002 after coming to the country as a college student in 1992. Public records show that Musk is registered to vote in Texas, where noncitizens are prohibited by law from registering or voting. Musk founded SpaceX and was involved in the acquisition of PayPal by eBay around the time he became a citizen. Despite claims that he worked illegally in the US, Musk has denied this and stated that he was legally allowed to work in the country. Musk has been a major donor to President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign, although Trump’s promises of mass deportation have raised concerns. Overall, the claim that Musk is not a US citizen and should not be involved in the US government is unfounded, as he went through a lengthy and difficult process to become a citizen and has been living and working in the US for many years.
