You guys understand that even the immigration system is pay-to-win, right? Regardless of what happens, I don't think Elon will have any issues.

Exactly. He would just reapply under the category of "director of a company" or as "individual of extraordinary abilities".

“individual of extraordinary abilities”

No, you are not allowed to lie in immigration application forms, it says so right in the title!

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

While I don't disagree at all, even in many of these instances lying to immigration officials is a fast track to being denied entry ever again.

Obviously, Musk is going to get back in, but as a political pawn, kicking Musk out of the country being a legitimate option must be absolutely incredible.
