Jennifer Welch: “l just think it’s really important to remind everybody all the time that Elon Musk is a fucking immigrant that doesn’t pay taxes who is a parasite off the American taxpayer”

Grok factcheck:

Elon Musk is a naturalized US citizen (2002) who immigrated from South Africa via Canada in 1989—true, he is an immigrant. He has paid significant taxes: $455M (2014-18) per ProPublica, $11B in 2021 per reports. But paid $0 in 2018 and uses deductions. His companies received ~$38B in govt contracts/subsidies (WashPost), aiding growth, but they also pay taxes and employ thousands. “Parasite” is subjective.
