The man is a white settler who's grandfather came to South Africa as part of the British military occupation and grew up as the child of someone with an ownership stake in an emerald mine. He is a quinessential white supremacist. Don't let his accent or his proximity to intelligence fool you.

I don't like Musk, but this is false. South Africa became sovereign in 1934. Musk's grandad moved from Canada to SA in 1950, 26 years later.
