      Guessing homey either doesn’t know about Elon’s dad being kind of a piece of shit too, or was just meme’ing and didn’t expect anyone to think about it that hard.

        I mean, the dude made all the South African emerald money that Elon relied on to stay rich, so I don’t see how anyone could think he was a good guy. So it’s probably the second thing.

    His grandfather was also a very successful chiropractor in Canada, owning a 20 room house and a private plane from damaging people’s spines for a living and helped popularize the pseudoscience of Chiropractics in Canada.

    It’s just grifters all the way down. If you told me his ancestors went town to town selling “cure all elixirs” that’s just ground up horse hooves, sawdust suspended in cider vinegar, I wouldn’t be surprised.

      I think they just mean “a mine in the south of Africa” which is confusing because they decided to name a country South Africa too.
