Excerpt: ″“With no Whites here [in South Africa], the Blacks will go back to the trees.”
—Errol Musk in a 2022 letter to his son Elon
Given who Elon and Kimbal’s father Errol Musk is, and what he believes about racial hierarchies, and how he made much of his money in apartheid-era South Africa, it’s no surprise that Elon and Kimbal didn’t want anyone to know that not only were they living in America off daddy’s money in the 1990s but they never would have made it in business without him and his cash.
Both Musk boys knew their father was a contemptible figure the likes of which no one in Silicon Valley would ever condone, so they lied about everything: their immigration status; the source of their startup money; their ability to conduct themselves in an office setting as professionals; even their personal politics, which were far right (Elon a bit more so than Kimbal), a fact they knew would never be accepted in California.″
