Burn!!! lol

But wait, Musk isn't an illegal immigrant as far as I know.

Do you have any proof of that he is? I've heard people say that, but never seen anything of substance. Seems like the press would be all over that if it were true.

Thanks, amiko!

“When they did fund us, they realized that we were illegal immigrants,” Kimbal said in a 2013 panel discussion alongside his brother. Elon attempted to interject before Kimbal again insisted the two brothers were immigrants during the early days of Zip2. Elon replied, “I’d say it was a gray area.”

The gray area is if your rich and connected, laws are optional.

This is very, very true. Laws are equal, but more equal if you're rich.
