> [@Alessan](#): > > Whatever race Elmo is, I don’t want to be a part of. I think most of us in South Africa, aside from the far-right lunatic fringe, would be happy to be rid of Mr. Musk. He is not an Afrikaaner, more like someone (like myself) who would be described as a “soutpiel” - a vulgar term for a non-Afrikaans speaker, most likely of British descent. So I guess I share his “race”. However, I am delighted that he does not live in South Africa, and he has adopted the USA. Not so delighted that he has adopted the worst possible aspects of being American, though. ---

Jesus Christ. The richest man in the world and he owns this massive social media application liking such a post. If I were a Jewish person, I’d be so frightened. I’m not Jewish and I’m getting terribly worried about the state of the world. Good Lord, it feels like history is repeating itself and we haven’t learned a goddamn thing. Fucking Hell. ---

This is just further proof that the Jews are conspiring to destroy the value of his company. This should cement his case against the ADL. Maybe he can sue IBM for failing to provide him with advertising revenue now as well. ---
