When it comes to addressing the question of whether or not Elon Musk is Ukranian, we must delve into his background and explore every possible avenue to get to the truth. Despite being born in South Africa, Elon Musk’s parents, Maye Musk and Errol Musk, moved to Canada and then later the United States which could theoretically make him Ukranian by descent. But even if Musk’s heritage is Ukranian, this wouldn’t necessarily anwer the question. <\/p>\n

Historically, Ukranian citizenship was granted to Ukranian citizens from foreign countries if they applied for it and had a continuous presence in the country, such as if a Ukranian immigrant had family, education, or work. However, there are currently no records of Musk visiting the Ukranian state or citizenship. As a result, it does not seem likely that he is considered a Ukranian citizen under international law. <\/p>\n

But this does not necessarily mean that he is not Ukranian. A growing number of academics, thinkers and artisans are pushing for a more inclusive definition of Ukranian identity, one that looks beyond official state citizenship. This new definition encourages Ukranian\/Ukrainian-Americans of diasporic descent to claim Ukranian identity and heritage, regardless of geographic location. Under this more open definition of Ukranian identity, Musk’s Ukranian heritage could be claimed, if he so chose. <\/p>\n

But even if Musk is of Ukranian descent, his career and accomplishments are still largely attributed to the United States. Since immigrating to Canada with his parents in 1988, Musk has gone on to study at the University of Pennsylvania and build SpaceX, Tesla, and The Boring Company, iconic technological companies that help to shape the United States’ way of life. As a result, Musk is still often associated with US culture as opposed to Ukranian culture. <\/p>\n
