Overview
- Elon Musk wrote in a now-deleted X reply that “8 or above level hotness should get an exemption,” referring to Audrey Morris’s immigration case in Denmark.
- Audrey Morris told The Daily Beast the remark was “definitely crazy” and said attention would have been more useful if it highlighted her academic record.
- Morris moved from Los Angeles to Denmark at age nine and ran into visa trouble after living away from her mother for high school, breaching cohabitation terms.
- Reporting indicates she was denied Danish citizenship but later granted a 10-year residency permit, leaving her future status more secure than earlier in the year.
- Online reaction condemned Musk’s post as “creepy,” with critics highlighting the age gap between the 54-year-old billionaire and the 19-year-old student.
