@BeverlyMorgan-zh4wr There was no draft in the US when Elon went to Canada or Stanford in 1995? Elon Musk initially entered the United States on a student visa (F-1) to attend the University of Pennsylvania. After completing his undergraduate studies, he briefly enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Stanford University. This continuation of studies extended his student visa. He did overstay but that was resolved legally otherwise he would have not gotten the H-1B visa. He did not lie about it, and only worked a very brief time without authorization.

@humanbeing9352 The point is you believe anyone who supports Trump/Vance is abnormal. Hillary was more explicit, she said "deplorable" and "irredeemable".

@onlyonejewelrybyrayeellentTM Yes, the commenter mentioned the US Selective Service. That made no sense. If I had been 17 in Apartheid SA I would have fled, too, or got a college deferment. Elon was a Canadian citizen via his mother's birth there. He had dual citizenship. White South African males who were subject to mandatory military service could defer their conscription to complete their schooling or university degrees It appears Elon has citizenship in 3 countries. Mandatory conscription ended in SA in 1994, Elon was at University in 1994. These facts are readily available.

@prof_kaos9341 No, that didn't happen. And it was alleged to have happened at a WW1 memorial, not a WW2 memorial.

@ericmattson1420 The Groucho icon is a satire on the Obama image created by Shepard Fairey. I also use one that is a satire on Karl Marx. Elon is a nerd, not a Nazi, and is going to make lots of mistakes. He exposed the coordinated bias at Twitter and opened up a bag that helped get Trump elected. Lots of blame to go around for that reality.

@Smookitten Are you saying Elon did not register and got a deferment? I was 18 in 1973, was supposed to go to the post office to register, never did. They were still pulling draft numbers, but no one was drafted born after 1953. I was 50 years old until I knew that I never really faced the draft for Vietnam.

@prof_kaos9341 Elon was only 19 when Nelson Mandela was released from Robin Island. You really hold him responsible?

@MommaT-g6k "Bone Spurs" got shot in the head and stood up and continued the fight. Bill Clinton, why the double-standard. Elon was 19 when Nelson Mandela was released from Robin Island. Not the same.

Elon would not have to serve even if he stayed, there was a college deferment, and when he was 19, Nelson Mandela was released from Robin Island. Your analogy doesn't pass the timeline test.

@BeverlyMorgan-zh4wr Where did he not register. South Africa? I don't know if he did or not, but do know he qualified for a college deferment, and that he was 19 when Nelson Mandela was released from Prison. Why is that so important to you?

@Suzanne-dy1bn You would have fought and died for Apartheid?

@wernerstapela4616 Yes, Elon could have also had a college deferment, and we much remember Elon was just 19 when Mandela was released from Robin Island. The US has a Selective Service Registration rule but that does not apply to student visas or H-1B work visas. These comments reveal their bias and bigotry.

@JWard-r3k Trump went into battle and got shot in the head and came up fighting, he proved himself. You?

@robertawalsh2995 not like that at all, a bank robber would be convicted and go to prison, not receive citizenship.

Wow! Trump was speaking to a Christian group who rarely vote. Context is important, otherwise it is a lie, which is what you are doing.

Adam made a political bet Trump would lose. He lost that bet, bigly.

Haitians do eat "country" cats, Anthony Bourdain wouldn't eat the street food of Haiti for that reason. Dog is served in Asia, too.

@ericlauner6476 ? We do not elected Presidents by popular vote but by the Electoral College. Trump got 58% of the State's vote, and all the States voted. Bill Clinton only got 43% of the popular vote. Why the double-standard?

@michelewalburn4376 Trump didn't say they did, he said he was being told they did, and so was Vance. I watched community meetings where people were upset and saying wild things, including geese and ducks being taken from parks. That wasn't the real issue, it was the number of refugees being enticed into the city and given preferential treatment over the citizens, including free housing and other services. The most serious issue seemed to be lack of driving skill and the danger to trash cans. That made me laugh. Trump speaks the way the real people of that city spoke about the issue, whether it was true or not, it was how they were feeling. Why does the woke/left only recognize "My Truth" when it is something they agree with? I've checked some crazy things Trump has said that turned out to be true, like during Co-19 he said put an Ultra-Violet light inside people. Turns out Cedar-Sinai Hospital was already doing that for another illness and applied to test it for Co-19. Sounded crazy but UV Catheters are real, easy to fact check, even on the NIH website.

@ericlauner6476 I watched the debate real-time, he says "that's what they are telling me".

@prof_kaos9341 Elon was 18 in 1989, already in Canada when the Purple Rain Protest in Cape Town occurred. The protest was marked by the use of a water cannon with purple dye by the police to disperse the crowd and identify protesters for later arrest. While the protest was intense and resulted in over 500 arrests, including prominent figures like Dr. Allan Boesak and Dr. Charles Villa-Vicencio, there were no fatalities. Mandela was released a year later when Elon was 19 years old.
