Biden says Elon Musk was an 'illegal worker' when he began U.S. career
Elon Musk has become a regular campaign surrogate for Donald Trump in the presidential race against Vice President Kamala Harris.
You're viewing a single thread.
The headline is technically correct, but is phrased to make you feel like it may be less credible because it came from a politician/Biden.
Elon and his brother have literally talked about this before, on video. It's being discussed again now because the Washington Post ran a new article about it.

I don't think it's phrased to be that way, though; that Musk was working illegally has already been reported. This news story is on the fact that Biden is drawing attention to it.
Yeah exactly. CNBC aren't really twisting anything here, and they even mention the WaPo article in the 2nd bullet point at the top.
If there's anyone worth looking at over the release of this story it's WaPo. One could reasonably assume that Bezos wanted this story published, as Musk is a big rival. However at the same time they've just announced that they won't endorse anyone for this election for the first time in decades, which at best could be seen as hedging their bets in case of a Trump presidency but at worst be seen as pandering to Trump.

Now, if only there was someone in charge of the federal government, preferably with immunity when acting on official duties, who could safeguard America's interest by removing someone's access to defense contracts and deporting the same someone who started off their defense career illegally. Oh well.
