Which is a bit ironic considering Musk himself was born in South Africa.

- Broken_Hippo 5y agoObviously, this wasn't based on country of origin but rather, the color of someone's skin and racist stereotypes about Africans of all nationalities. It doesn't matter where Musk is from in this scenario.
- simondotau 5y agoThat's what makes it ironic. Because had the person(s) lobbing the insult followed their org chart to the very top, would find Elon Musk, a person who literally came from "Africa". Imagine if some middle manager at the Toyota plant in Indiana was racist towards an Asian American shift worker, telling them to "go back to Japan!" It's that level of unimaginable stupidity. While I don't question the veracity of the claims, it's genuinely difficult for me to believe that that kind of cartoonish racism still exists, especially in California.

You should think long and hard about this comment. You should not believe a random person over yourself. Especially when they are in court for anything. By that stage they are commited. Certainly not when they are in it to win 100 million. It is good to think about if they might be correct and yourself wrong.
