The richest man in the world appears to have worked in the US without authorization. According to experts, if he did so and lied about it as part of the immigration process, he could be denaturalized.
Given how his management decisions are impacting Tesla (pushing out buggy, dangerous “full self-driving”, cutting corners on quality, the whole Cybertruck thing, and associating the brand with his junior-sci-fi ideas long after anyone stopped thinking that he’s some kind of visionary technologist, to say nothing of the weird far-right turn and habit of impregnating employees), it could be argued that he’s strangling a company that otherwise had excellent potential, and that at this stage, it would have a better chance under other management. I’m not sure if, say, the suits at General Motors or Ford could have made as much of an impact with it as a subsidiary, but they’d have certainly killed the Cybertruck or at least made it more like a conventional SUV.
