> Musk was born in South Africa to a wealthy diamond mine owner (Dad)
This is something like ~4 steps away from what happened, to the point it's not true at all. (He was a part owner in an emerald mining operation in another country, it wasn't his main business, and they were middle class.)
Btw when I say from Northern England, I mean by descent, not where he grew up.
Not that I want to get into defending him since he's killed 600k people this year.
> and is a ‘confirmed non believer’ per his own public statements.
That's as Anglican as it gets. It's like a version of Protestantism you're not supposed to believe in.
