Teen who faced deportation responds to Musk’s comments on her appearance
Elon Musk announces exit from Trump's government
Tech billionaire Elon Musk made a controversial comment on X about Audrey Morris, a 19-year-old U.S. native facing deportation from Denmark.
Musk's now-deleted post suggested that an "8 or above level hotness should get an exemption" regarding Morris's immigration status.
Morris, who has lived in Denmark since she was nine, described Musk's remarks as "crazy" and "flooring," noting the persistent focus on her appearance.
She expressed a preference for Musk to have highlighted her academic achievements, but hoped the attention would benefit her case.
Morris was ultimately granted a 10-year residency permit in Denmark, though her application for citizenship was denied.
