Fair enough, I looked it up and it seems he has a US citicenship.

I looked it up too and honestly I don't doubt that he does have US citizenship and there's no scandal. But interestingly, the proof they offer is that he was registered to vote in Texas in 2002 and that wouldn't be possible if he weren't a citizen. I'm sure that's also true. It's just funny that that assumption would challenge Trump's allegation of all the illegal immigrants registering to vote. According to him, Musk's registration wouldn't be proof of anything.
