Mr. Musk, who came to the United States in 1992, entered the country as a student, receiving Canadian citizenship from his mother. Seven years later, he became a U.S. citizen.

“I am extremely pro-immigrant and believe that we need a greatly expanded legal immigration system and that we should allow anyone in the country who is hardworking and honest to contribute to the United States States,” he said in the video.

“We had to expedite legal approval for everyone who falls into this category. But then, for the same reason, we should also not allow people into the country who break the law.”

In February 2023, Musk spoke out against the number of illegal Chinese immigrants crossing the border. US from Mexico.

“I’m very supportive of hardworking people coming to America, but we can’t have de facto open borders without screening,” he said.
