Elon Musk's Family History in South Africa Reveals Ties to Apartheid & Neo-Nazi Movements

Elon Musk was born in 1971 in Johannesburg, South Africa, and raised in a wealthy family under the country's racist apartheid laws. Musk's family history reveals ties to apartheid and neo-Nazi politics.
Chris McGreal, a reporter for The Guardian, explains how Musk's upbringing shaped his worldview, as well as his South African-raised colleague Peter Thiel, a right-wing billionaire who co-founded PayPal alongside Musk. "Musk lived what can only be described as a neocolonial life," said McGreal. "If you were a white South African in that period and you had any money at all, you lived with servants at your beck and call."
