Isn't he also an immigrant?

You must be confused - he's white, so the proper term is "expat".

Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa, to Maye (née Haldeman), a model, and Errol Musk, a businessman and engineer. Musk briefly attended the University of Pretoria before immigrating to Canada at the age of 18, acquiring citizenship through his Canadian-born mother.

Yep, and then he moved to the states I assume.

Frankly, Canada, it's starting to ring hollow.
