Overview
- Elon Musk posted and then deleted a comment on X saying "8 or above level hotness should get an exemption" in reference to Audrey Morris, drawing widespread criticism as "creepy."
- Morris, 19, called the remark "crazy" and "demeaning," saying she was floored that attention focused on her appearance instead of her work and life in Denmark.
- Her immigration trouble began when authorities said she breached a dependent permit by moving into school housing away from her mother in a different city.
- Her mother and 15-year-old brother obtained Danish citizenship, while her application was rejected, and she later received a 10-year residency permit that allows her to stay.
- She noted her status had already been resolved when the comment revived attention online and said she would accept embarrassment if it brings helpful awareness to her case.
