Our whole schtick is (supposed) to be that anyone who wants to come here and make a life here is an American.

There’s plenty of things to be pissed at Musk for, especially in relation to how his family made their money in Apatheid South Africa (emerald slave mines), but him being born elsewhere isn’t it.

That shtick is just a shtick. Every country with a functioning government has standards for who they’ll allow to immigrate and become a citizen, and Musk is precisely the kind of person I’d want to keep out. He’s making a life here as a billionaire, not an American, because billionaires have no real nationality, just flags of convenience. I don’t want him on my planet, much less in my country, and I especially don’t want his greasy money in our politics.

That’s cool and all, and I generally agree, but the sheer fact that he’s a foreigner isn’t something to go after

Lol. These fuckers are all ladder pullers. Check out the tenets of project 2025. They want to kick immigrants OUT. Musk is donating $45 million per month toward kicking immigrants out. He got his though, so…

Yeah but the dude is also pro slavery. If you’re a foreign billionaire coming here to make money and promote slavery then I’m not sure I’m prepared to call you an American. No matter how historically accurate it may be.
