I'm not an immigration law expert, but, in general, obtaining naturalization through fraud or misrepresentation can result in deportation of naturalized citizens. It's hard to see how Musk became naturalized without lying about this somewhere in the process.

Elon Musk, enemy of ‘open borders,’ launched his career working illegally

Investors in Musk’s first company worried about “our founder being deported” and gave him a deadline for obtaining a work visa.

Boris Johnson renounced his US citizenship, why won't Elon Musk do the same?

@maxkennerly @SpaceLifeForm Fine with me. Then we make a law that limits the amount of foreign ownership in any American company. Boom. He’s out of our hair. He might also have to pay capital gains to expatriate his stock.

@maxkennerly

we dont even know WHAT visa he got and it could have been an EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program VISA that someone paid for

but even so, lying about not working in the US illegally should have denied any application
