I strongly agree. Feds make examples of companies all the time, I don’t know why we would not do the same with a billionaire. I’m sure -many- hardworking people have been kicked out of the country for going against terms of their work/student/visitor visa, I don’t know why EM should be treated different. I thought justice was supposed to be blind.
Do you have any numbers on how many people have lost their citizenship for working on a student visa? Has it ever happened in the history of the USA?
Per this report, an average of 11 people are denaturalized per year, and it is reserved for terrorists and war criminals [1]
Why does everyone want to jump to conclusions about special treatment in the total absence of data? It is starting with the injustice one thinks is happening and presuming facts that make it true.
>Historically, the U.S. has reserved denaturalization proceedings for individuals who committed egregious crimes, including people who were found to be war criminals and terrorist funders. The most notable of those cases involved Nazi war criminals. For example, the federal government pursued and obtained the denaturalization of John (Ivan) Kalymon of Troy, Michigan in 2007 and his removal in 2011.
The disguising part is that he’s rubbing this in our faces while simultaneously relishing his party’s hardline stance on illegal immigration. He knows he’s above the law. He does not care about what the plebs think.
Why? Wealth is just what people are given by others through transactions. Shouldn’t the person be able to use it how they wish? I doubt Elon’s wealth was a problem for one half of the country when he voted for Biden a few years ago.
Also do you not see examples of those who aren’t wealthy breaking law or precedent or decorum? For example rampant retail and property crime in coastal cities. Or the mass rioting and destruction at the height of BLM. Or anti Israel terrorists blocking airports. Or the mass robbery of a freight train a week ago in Chicago. You can also find extreme rhetoric very easily in social media that supports the things you called out for “the other side”.
There is a much longer list of examples. The finger pointing around wealth doesn’t make sense to me. And if anything, Musk is doing far better than those attacking him.
