Challenge his citizenship

Does anyone have any idea how Elon Musk’s immigration/citizenship paperwork could be viewed and/or verified. As we’ve witnessed over the past days, this un-elected co-president is willing to face a camera and lie to the American people. And if he isn’t outright lying, he is grossly distorting the truth. Is there any reason to believe that he was totally truthful when he submitted his application for citizenship? I would like someone--but who?-- to go through that application with a fine-toothed comb, and if there is a single “I” undotted or a “T” left uncrossed, challenge his citizenship!

Maybe the same could be done for Melania and parents?

He was here on a J-1 student visa:

"... Musk arrived in Palo Alto in 1995 for a graduate degree program at Stanford University but never enrolled in courses. Instead, he launched a start-up, Zip2, that later sold for about $300 million. ... Leaving school left Musk without a legal basis to remain in the United States, according to immigration experts — a fact that was discovered by Zip2 investors, who gave Musk and his co-founders 45 days to obtain legal work status."

Maybe Morning Joe would like to take this on as a little project.
