“black servants who were their friend”

In an email to The Post, his father, Errol, said Musk and his brother were “not into political nonsense, & we lived in a very well-run, law-abiding country with virtually no crime at all. Actually no crime. We had several black servants who were their friends”

With this, and the passing of Athol Fugard, it’s a good time to rewatch Master Harold and the Boys

That headline should read,

Elon Musk is a pro-apartheid, white nationalist Nazi

'No crime at all' leaves out the crime of apartheid.

Shit. Here I thought we were looking forward to the day when we don't have a baby boomer president, but it turns out we still have an antebellum president.

People have been pretending to be his friend to avoid getting fired his whole life

Tired: Rent a friend

I'm sure the servants were REAL friendly... to their faces. Job security and all that.

They loved making chocolate pie for everyone. They had such big grins when it was eaten.

Did he say he “does not have a racist bone in his body” too?

tymcbray.bsky.social•4 days ago

Elon musk has lived all his life without a single clue. Nor is he likely to get one.

I cannot believe that email ever got out of the drafts, let alone sent to a national publication 😖

emauxstylo.bsky.social•4 days ago

Now why would someone describe their definitely adult “servants” as their children’s friends.

catrionamcp.bsky.social•4 days ago

Well fiddle-de-dee, Miz Elon. Don't think about that today; think about it tomorrow.

"...we lived in a very well-run, law-abiding country with virtually no crime at all. Actually no crime." God - did he always sound like Trump or has he been hanging out with him so much he's taken on his speech patterns?

Servants were his friends. Beatings were only as a last resort. A good slap would suffice.

Herr Commandantes children enjoyed playing with the prisoners, who were also household servants. Right up until the day those prisoners were gassed and burned and replaced with new ones.
