There are a lot of myths and fantasies about Capitalism, which is why reading history is rather quite useful.

It appears Musk came to US on a student visa, did not attend school and worked illegally here.

If he lied in his subsequent immigration applications he committed a felony level crime and could be stripped of his citizenship and security clearances.

Musk's brother: "We were illegal immigrants."
What’s amazing about Musk claiming the reason he’s in America is the H1B visa is that it isn’t true. According to story below, he came here on a student visa, worked illegally and then got an H1B. He should release his immigration records to clear this up.

Just two months till my new book, Titans of Industrial Agriculture (MIT Press) is out! I outline how just a few giant firms came to dominate the farm machinery, fertilizer, seeds and pesticides industries, and the consequences of corporate power in those sectors.
