Just to know ... it's not commonly used in South Africa! Maybe in Elon's family, but I have ever heard someone use it and I live here. He's dad is a raving racist as well and his grandfather moved to SA in the 1950s because he thought Canada was getting too soft - tells one a lot

Glad I've worked in 2 countries that have labour laws understanding people have financial commitments. You can't just say 'You're Fired!' and you're out today in the UK & South Africa (been made redundant in both). Think the US is cruel and let's not talk about maternity leave - among worse in world

I'm so with you! Also it's not the biggest sporting event in the world and actually as a single event, the UEFA Champions League Final (football not the American kind) gets almost 4 times the viewership

Newsmaker of the Year is more apt as Person of the Year gives him a status that I don't think he deserves in light of all that he's done

As much as I despise Trump for just who he is & most of his policies, many countries in the world don't offer citizenship purely by being born there. It actually looks like the minority

Having run at a World Cross-Country Champs, I can tell you there's talent and then there's talent! Meaning others were Olympic level and world class. Part of getting to the top is also how injury prone you are and how you recover from training. That differs from person to person

We don't want him back! Not with that autocratic wealthy man arrogance. Actually he wouldn't have as much power in South Africa

I'm in my 4th year at playing FPL. Last year I felt like I had mastered it - 1st in my mini-league and top 10,000. This year .. 😳😳 It's a Haaland vs Salah rollercoaster!

Wow, that's an astounding rule that can be abused. A criminal is a criminal, but maybe the US just is the wild, wild west
