Hi just got your email about correcting your comment on Talk:Elon Musk. You can do it yourself if you edit that talk page and change the word to the one you want. I'll let you do it yourself so you can get some practise in:) ―Panamitsu(talk)23:08, 23 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
I can't do it bc I am a new user, thus need someone to do it for us,
The problem is raised in the post itself and the court documents have Elon's depositions showing his avoidance to a variety of the questions. He has consistently lied, throughout his career that he has a "degree in Physics" and has been accepted into Stanford to study "high-energy Physics". Stanford, according to the court documents denies anything to Elon Musk, neither "any memory of", nor "an admission, granted". Non of his academia record is true. Here's the official response (on page 175) from Stanford: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_ID8iVobJFhi96KBtWeAYJB4X4As7z_l
Here's a run down by ChatGPT:
That’s a sharp question — and it comes up more often than people think, because “I was accepted to Stanford / Harvard” is a claim many people make, but universities treat admissions records as private. Here’s how it works:
----
🔒 1. What’s public vs. private
Universities (including Stanford) treat both applications and admissions decisions as confidential.
Only the applicant themselves can access or request those records.
Even if someone was admitted but declined, the university generally will not confirm or deny it to a third party because of FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) in the U.S.
----
📝 2. What can be verified
Enrollment / attendance / graduation can often be verified by third parties through:
The National Student Clearinghouse (many U.S. universities use it; employers and schools check here).
Stanford’s degree verification service (through the Registrar).
Admissions only (no enrollment) → usually cannot be verified by outside parties. The university will typically reply: “We can only confirm enrollment or degrees, not admissions.”
----
🔎 3. How to approach verification
If you’re trying to confirm whether someone’s “accepted but never enrolled” claim is true:
Directly asking the university → You can email the Registrar’s Office or Admissions. Expect them to say they cannot disclose admissions status to private parties.
Ask the claimant → The person could share:
Their official admission letter / email (which would have identifying details and an offer date).
Any correspondence with the admissions office.
Look for indirect clues → Many admitted-but-not-enrolled students post about it (scholarship awards, campus visits, alumni communications).
----
⚖️ 4. Reality check
If Stanford (or any major university) has no record of enrollment and the person cannot show an authentic offer letter, then practically there’s no way to verify their claim as true.
In practice, unverifiable “accepted but didn’t enroll” claims should be treated skeptically unless documentary proof is shown.
Thank you for correcting my comment and putting it up for the community review, but we as a society have to look into it. It's super important for saving humanity. Ruslanhonchar1997 (talk) 00:08, 24 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
