NEW YORK (AP) — President Joe Biden has slammed Elon Musk for hypocrisy on immigration after a published report that the Tesla CEO once worked illegally in the United States. The South Africa-born Musk denies the allegation. Biden criticized Musk during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh on Saturday after a Washington Post report on the matter. Biden said that “the wealthiest man in the world turned out to be an illegal worker here.” The newspaper reported that Musk worked illegally in the country while on a student visa. Musk wrote on X in reply to a video post of Biden’s comments: “I was in fact allowed to work in the US.”
