Just an admirable story of a family triumphing over adversity: 😏

"The Musk patriarch said he worked as an engineer and imported emeralds from an unregistered Zambian mine, which 'helped me and my two boys sustain ourselves during the collapse of Apartheid in SA'.”

Who can blame them after all, according to biographer Walter Isaacson Errol Musk claims, β€œIf you registered it, you would wind up with nothing, because the Blacks would take everything from you.” 🫣https://www.thedailybeast.com/musks-dad-elons-not-racisthe-was-friends-with-black-servants/

@georgetakei as an ex South African who grew up in the apartheid era, let me tell everyone very emphatically that this is utter bollocks. β€œFriendships” with people who are almost completely dependent on you, often for much more than money - their home, food, etc., are at best, superficial, transactional, and imaginary (on the part of the white feudal lords). I used to be β€œfriends” with bullies at boarding school, so they didn’t hit/abuse me or take my stuff

@georgetakei The gene pool is contaminated. I think it's time to flush.

Seriously, this story is sick. When considered with Elon's small army of boys, it makes me think they should all be sterilized. Elon first with a small hatchet or pruning shears.
