Isn't Musk from South Africa? Raised in an era of apartheid governance? Seems a significant tidbit of info when listening to his opinions.

A lot of soccer fans love slagging "rugby dads" and enjoy reminding them of how the Irish rugby team toured South Africa during the apartheid era.

But how is *this* better?

always funny to hear this type of American Pie White Identity bullshit from a south african whose money came from apartheid era slavery. really illustrates how meaningless it all is

This is Jim Crowe 2.0 getting implemented.
The Crowe-era apartheid government, along with our brutal subjugation of the indigenous cultures, were the nazi's model, inspiration & aspiration.

I note that the flags displayed in Loyalist areas of NI often include those of Israel and apartheid era South Africa. There's a definite point being made....

Also his description of American culture leaves out apartheid-era South Africa, so that excludes him.

this makes a little more sense internally in that "English-Scotts-Irish" is really about the Ulster plantations project in northern Ireland (run by "Scots Irish") not the Catholic Irish. Ulster as a disposession forerunner of slave holding confederacy, and apartheid era South Africa.
All these fucking losers do is whine that people don’t like the same things they do anymore from their perceived moral high ground of “western culture”. It’s the saddest thing in the world.

Who would have predicted that this child of wealthy racists from apartheid-era South Africa would be a bigot?

But surely the cleansing power of wealth must have cured him of his worst impulses, no?

Epstein friend and South African white apartheid era manbaby immigrant opines about American culture
lol

you can take the boy out of apartheid-era south africa but you can’t, etc.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

This piece unpacks how historical spatial policies and industrial legacies have shaped uneven development in Gauteng’s periphery, drawing on apartheid-era spatial-industrial arrangements and ongoing institutional path dependencies. @jasonfbell.bsky.social.

Sad to report that, like Musk, Thiel is not a Boer, he's just culturally an apartheid-era white South African

It's always been shit. Government agents will use any weapon they are allowed to on protestors.

There are instructions in South African Apartheid-era army manuals on how and when to fire into a crowd.

A remarkable improvement from the apartheid era which was incredibly queerphobic.

Apartheid-era South Africa makes more sense because that's what he wrote about in Hi-Streamer after all.

This *hugely* reminds me of the classic Apartheid-era poem In Detention drunkenlibrary.com/2017/12/11/i...

Excavated the apartheid era grave ofNontetha Nkwenkwe, a Xhosa prophetess, for repatriation.

If Musk had stayed in South Africa, he would just be seen as another two-bit unreconstructed Afrikaner trying to stop the world. Unfortunately, he's the world's richest man with an online bullhorn for his apartheid-era reactionary racism: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Elon Musk posted about race almost every day in January
Many social media posts by Tesla CEO on his platform are indiscernible from those of white supremacists, say experts

UK courts just struck down the attempt to label Palestine Action a 'terrorist group.' The state’s eagerness to criminalize dissent exposing arms trade complicity is a chilling echo of apartheid-era tactics. Follow @The_Piaz for deeper context.

Musk started as a super-rich apartheid era South African who rode daddy’s emerald money into top spot for monetary wealth.

Of course he is innately racist.
About as racist as he is rich.

Israel is a colonialist apartheid ethnostate. Genocide in one era of history does not entitle a population to indigenous land and the argument that this is all preordained by a sky ghost is disingenuos.
