Afrikaners are descendents of Dutch settlers so Musk wouldn't count as one, because yeah, his grandpa was an American-Canadian who was so racist he moved to South Africa because they introduced apartheid
Somehow this was another chapter of Musk lore I didn't know about.
I've heard the same thing, and that he doesn't actually have a degree in physics, it was faked/handed to him because otherwise wouldn't have been allowed to stay. Don't know if that's just a conspiracy theory in the end, but I don't want to give
the benefit of the doubt.
