Under apartheid I’m sure everyone was the best of friends with their black servants.

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”

Not only does the apple not fall from the tree, it actually seems to stay on the branch until it’s a rotten, maggot-infested mess.

At least we know where he got the idea to pay people to like him.

Fuck, I am going to puke.

Living proof that mainlining dissociative anesthetics like ketamine turns you into a vindictive sociopath.

"We treated them like family."

That comment is just so freaking shameless. Did the black servants have a choice in whether or not to play with them?

I am very tired of living in this shitty Gone With The Wind reboot

It's weird speaking to my other half - as a kid they did think like that, and it was only when she went to university and realized what was actually happening that she wanted out and got out. It was, and in some regards, still is a fucked up place.

I bet Errol still thinks his staff like him.

Such an incredible amount of everything in each word of that quote. Jesus.

I dunno what to do with that one. It’s horrible all the way through.

"I thought Apartheid was just a detergent that separated whites and colours!"

I cannot believe these people exist. But then, I can absolutely believe these people exist.

“Some of my best slaves were black.”

The way my jaw actually dropped when I got to that part of the quote

Sometimes it’s hard to believe what people are willing to say out loud.

Older Southern white people will reminisce fondly about their maids and nannies to this day - especially how they worked for their family their whole lives until they died. Contributing to the funeral but not retirement.

At least the woman who wrote The Help had the good sense to set her autobiography back in time by 25 years.

‘Look, our oppressed servants living under a brutal regime, didnt murder the children.’

So why was leon being left in the lobby of orgies by dad? No friendly servants?

“In fact, if they weren’t friendly, they were beaten very badly.”

Like that time a southern white lady told Chelsea Handler that slaves were “part of the family”. Tying themselves into pretzels to avoid the truth.

I bet those servants who were his "friends" laughed at every joke he made. Which probably explains why he is so unfunny.

Awfully similar to that bullshit "chivalry" in the Antebellum South

Is this an old story or from today? I don’t pay Bezos. Appalling - I live in SA.

"some of my best servants are black" is a new escalation in the meme...

Dems would do well to get a mole to conduct a sympathetic interview with him and just air it uncut, do a little reverse Veritas project on them

savvygranny.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nah...his interview with Don lemon will suffice...

A white South African I worked with once was careful to tell me that as a child there were always black folks at his birthday party. I later realised it was their maid and her kids
