Elon Musk is possibly THE richest billionaire on Earth, certainly one of the richest. This isn’t an “achievement” to be proud of, he’s just some parasite who happened to be born filthy rich, who never “invented” anything, but who managed to con other folk out of THEIR big ideas.
Musk was born to an extremely rich family in South Africa, twenty years before the end of Apartheid. Their wealth came from property speculation and from part-ownership of an Emerald mine. It might not be true to say Musk was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but it’s true to say he was born into a luxurious environment provided by property ownership and by fabulously precious gems. Raised in that privileged environment, in Apartheid South Africa, privilege was something that Musk just took for granted as being ‘normal’.
This privileged con-man now owns Twitter, which he has renamed as X. On that propaganda outlet which he owns, Musk is himself a frequent flyer, with millions of followers, who lap up the richest man on Earth telling them that their problems are not down to capitalism, but to immigrants, mainly Muslim ones, maybe other immigrants as well, but not to obscenely rich international con men like himself.
It’s obvious to me that Elon Musk is an enemy of the working class. The very emeralds he started out with had the blood of miners on them, and throughout his con-man life he has been an exploiter of the working class.
This fraud has now picked a fight with a Member of the Scottish Parliament, Humza Yousaf. Whatever criticisms I might have had of Yousaf when he was First Minister of Scotland, I say all Scots should show solidarity with our compatriot over this. The fraud Musk has falsely accused Yousaf of being racially opposed to everybody that is “white”. Making this totally ridiculous false accusation is, in effect, painting a target on Yousaf’s back, for Musk’s millions of thick, prejudiced, followers to take aim at.
Yousaf is said to be considering taking a legal action for defamation against Musk. Taking legal action against the richest man on the planet, who can buy thousands of lawyers, is maybe not the best way of dealing with this. Personally, if Elon Musk were to defame me, I would be inclined to challenge him to a real fight.What’s that you say? You think I would lose? Okay, so I’m an 83 year old disabled veteran; it’s quite possible I could get battered. And then 😀 …
