Elon Musk is trialing a controversial $5 million pay-to-enter immigration scheme introduced by Donald Trump that allows wealthy foreigners to expedite their U.S. residency. Musk has a complex immigration history himself, having moved to the U.S. in the early 1990s under various visa statuses. Despite identifying as pro-immigrant, his public rhetoric often reflects xenophobic sentiments, complicating his advocacy for immigration reform. This juxtaposition raises questions about the sincerity of his pro-immigrant claims amidst questionable endorsement of race-based immigration.
The pay-to-enter scheme allows obscenely rich foreign 'broligarchs' to fast-track their US residency application by shelling out a whopping $5 million upfront.
As an immigrant to the United States, I am extremely pro-immigrant, but his stance on immigration has been anything but, rooted in xenophobic rhetoric.
