Musk, 51, has the upper hand on Zuckerberg in terms of sheer physical size, and he has talked about being in “real hard-core street fights” when he was growing up in South Africa

Of course he has melon-musk

God we live in such a fucking absurd timeline, and we know it’s only going to get less sensible

    Pretoria Boys High, where Elon went to school, is a school located in between one of the richest suburbs in South Africa (Waterkloof) and one of the most prestigious universities in the country, the University of Pretoria. These would have been all white areas and schools during apartheid. There would be no kids to commit hate crimes on at school or at home. Apartheid was a vicious system of segregation down to the millimetre. The only black people Elon would have interacted with would have been workers in neo feudal conditions.

    Anyone in such a situation wanting to commit hate crimes would deliberately have to go out of their way to do so. And some did (see the AWB).

      I don't think it's beneath him or his buddies to travel to a place where there were people to attack, so long as it was still safe for them.

        Yeah people did do that sadly, mostly Nazi extremists like the AWB and KKK affiliates, can't remember what the KKK affiliates were called, I think it was South African National Front or something like that.
