    Speaking about the mine, Errol told Musk biographer Walter Isaacson: “If you registered it, you would wind up with nothing, because the Blacks would take everything from you.”

    Hmm…exactly the guy to prove someone isn’t racist.

        Elon probably seems remarkably egalitarian compared to him, even now.

    “He’s not racist, it’s just that I taught him that he was superior to every black person that he ever met as a child.” Fucking hell.

    I thought I was so original posting this yesterday:

    Elon “I can’t possibly be a racist troll, some of my best serfs are Negroes!” Musk.

    Turns out his own father beat me to it!

    I read the headline and was absolutely positive that it was an onion article, then saw where this was posted.

          In the early 1990s, Errol, then aged 45, married Heide Bezuidenhout, a 25-year old he described as “one of the best looking women I’ve ever seen in my life”. They had two children. Jana Bezuidenhout, who was his stepdaughter from that marriage, and four years old at the time Errol became her stepfather, later became his romantic partner.

    Yowza.

    Just shows how disconnected from reality these people are. They live in a bubble of luxury, affluence, yes-men. They’ve never experienced any semblance of hardship or struggle, ever. He grew up with servants for fucks sake.

    Look, I think my opinion on Elon is obvious, but “my son made friends with people whose best interest was to be friendly towards him and not mouth off” is not a good argument lmao

    It’s the “I have black friends” defense but with servants. What’s next? “The people he had locked up were his best chums so he’s still not racist?”
