Not one of the Replies corrected mal's slander.
NYT: Say, why didn't Elon Musk end apartheid as a teenager?

Oooooh — sounds damning! Or at least it does until you read past the jump. As it turns out …
1. Musk left South Africa for Canada at 17.
2. In part, he chose to leave because he didn’t want to serve in the apartheid-enforcing South African military [paragraph 14]
3. His parents belonged to the anti-apartheid Progressive Party, and his father Errol ran and won office on that platform
4. His black schoolmates recall that Musk “spent time with Black friends” [paragraph 9].
5. Praetoria Boys High School had “a socially progressive undercurrent,” where the headmaster, teachers, and students “participated in freedom struggle activities” [paragraph 17].
6. Musk rebuked a fellow student for using an “anti-Black slur,” and got bullied for it [paragraph 27], and later was one of only a handful of white people at the funeral of a black student [paragraph 28].
Here's the NYT article, https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/05/world/africa/elon-musk-south-africa.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur , though it is behind their email fence, which I won't jump. One of Musk's parents is Canadian, so he had dual Canadian-South African citizenship. That enabled him to emigrate to Canada and thereby avoid SA military service. Anyway, the NYT debunked mal's slander nearly 3 years ago.

Typical of the left lie until it becomes the truth :thatsright:
-
The fraud, waste and abuse he's exposing is so obviously wrong that all they have left is attacking the messenger.

DUmmies love immigrants, unless they're the legal kind.
