Musk is a product of his environment, a privileged rich upbringing in peak apartheid South Africa. His grand parents were members of the Nazi party of Canada, according to his Dad I think. He is undoubtedly a racist, a mysogynist, a homophobe, and is on the extreme end of the spectrum of anti-trans, to the extent he shuns his own daughter. He did a literal sieg heil not once, but twice. You can call it trolling if you want, I think we ought to take it seriously. He is a racist fascist who left unopposed would imo, become full on Hitler Nazi. Edited January 24 by Renton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 4483 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 His father is a white south African emerald mine owner that was run with slaves.
