A report by The Washington Post claims Elon Musk began his career as an entrepreneur while working illegally in the U.S. Musk allegedly built Zip2, his first major company, while on a student visa after leaving Stanford. Zip2 received a $3 million investment from venture capital firm Mohr Davidow Ventures, which required Musk to secure legal work status within 45 days. The board feared deportation could harm the company’s future. Musk’s success with Zip2, later sold for $300 million, helped launch his ventures like Tesla and SpaceX, making him the world’s wealthiest person.
