I think 2,3, and 4 are correct but...
African-Americans aren't personally from Africa, but Elon Musk was literally born in Africa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk
I mean you can think what you want but there is an objectively correct definition:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/African%20American
I'm not even going to attempt to explain it, you seem much too dense. :(
If you say so, bud
African-American usually refers to descendants of America's black slave trade. They are not Africans who moved to America. We don't call dutch born American emigrants Dutch-American. We call them Dutch. We don't call Chinese born American emigrants Chinese-American. We call them Chinese. Their nationality or continental heritage is usually how they are referred to. Calling Musk an African-American is by a long way, more racist than calling him unamerican.
You must really love the taste of Elon's dick in your mouth...
Breathtaking. However did you say that with a straight face?
