Ironic that he was born in South Africa, then emigrated to Canada and went on the Study in the US.

“He has said in the past that after leaving Penn he had planned to pursue graduate studies at Stanford, but dropped out to work on founding his first company.

That’s significant, experts say, because there are strict rules about the kind of work allowed when someone is in the US on a student visa, and work authorizations tied to student visas generally require someone to be actively studying or for the sponsoring institution to allow the student to get academic or practical training after graduation.

Immigration attorney Greg Siskind, who’s co-authored multiple editions of a guide to J-1 visas, says transitioning from a J-1 visa to an H-1B visa is a possible path. But he says a J-1 visa wouldn’t provide work authorization to someone who dropped out of a degree program. The moment Musk dropped out, he would have lost his status and been unauthorized to work, Siskind says.”

Ban basically everything associated with the big tech companies in the entirety and your country will probably be better off.

In Austin we now have google’s robotaxis taking the uber jobs. Various AI putting programmers out of work, and coming for the paralegals, writers and content creators and so on. “Progress” will go on and on, making really rich folks richer and putting the rest of us out to pasture. Then probably to the slaughter house.
