The Boer must go

Don Beyer said about USAID, says it's no coincidence "that Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest man with billions of dollars of investment in China, is doing China's bidding."

Well done, guys: you’re idiots.

Musk isn’t Afrikaans. “Boer” is one of the lesser pejoratives used by people like Musk for those who are Afrikaans.

Basically, you’re telling everyone you know nothing about SA but aren’t going to let that stop you showing ignorance that allows you be dismissed.

Musk's family were Free Burghers. They were white Dutch people who colonized SA. They're Afrikaners. He's Afrikaans.

What a bizarre thing to get on your high horse about - everyone else is an idiot for not knowing some arcane and irrelevant local distinction without a difference.

Oh, Lord.

His mother was from Liverpool. His maternal side are Canadian.

Now, unless something rather odd happened, neither Canada nor Liverpool are centres of Afrikaner heritage.

Now do his paternal side.

Well, isn’t this awkward…

This is the source of that quote, btw.

Musk himself.

Hey man, I think I've found evidence that one of Musk's operatives (Gavin Kliger) has a family member (dad?) who is a higher-up at Experian. See my pinned post for details/screenshots. Is this something you might want to boost?

the credit rating company? could be why he was picked for the goon squad.

wrycke.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yes, the credit rating company. So one might wonder whether the son is handing over this mega-secret information to the dad's company

catebridget.bsky.social•20 days ago

we should assume as much

wrycke.bsky.social•20 days ago

But I don't think anyone else knows it. I looked this up within the past hour or two.

catebridget.bsky.social•20 days ago

maybe Chad or someone will get the scoop. idk that the kid is definitely passing on the info but with these people we should always assume the worst.

mtsw.bsky.social•20 days ago

i dont totally see the relevance but i'm not a reporter or investigator. if you think you have something relevant the public should know about these goons id reach out to like @chadloder.bsky.social
