Musk worked illegally in the US before getting his PR so his US citizenship can be revoked at any time. This would make him a foreign entity and severely limit his ability to make campaign contributions.

Claims That Elon Musk Is Not a U.S. Citizen Lack Evidence
Musk became a citizen in 2002.

If he worked illegally, it was only for a few months back in 1995-1996, before he received his work permit.
In 2002, Musk became a US Citizen.
Musk was born in South Africa in 1971, and he lived there until he moved to Canada in 1989. After studying for two years at Queen’s University in Ontario, in 1992 Musk transferred to the University of Pennsylvania. Musk initially planned on pursuing a doctoral degree in material science at Stanford University upon graduation, but in 1995 he deferred his enrollment in order to pursue his idea of an online interactive version of the Yellow Pages.
While Musk is a U.S. citizen today, his legal working status during these early years is questionable. According to an October story in the Washington Post, Musk did not have the legal right to remain in the U.S. after he deferred his enrollment at Stanford in 1995. In a 2013 interview, Musk’s brother Kimbal admitted that the two were “illegal immigrants” when they were first approached by venture capitalists in 1996. “In fact, when they did fund us, they realized that we were illegal immigrants,” Kimbal said. “Well, I’d say it was a grey area,” Elon replied. According to a funding agreement from the time obtained by the Washington Post, the two brothers were made to obtain legal work status within 45 days of the investment, which they apparently achieved.
