Never knew Must wasn't American.

As they say. Every day's a school day.

He came from humble beginnings. His dad owned an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa

His father owned a mechanical engineering business didn’t own the mines until Musk was almost 16. Left for Canada at 19 and went to the states after. Made his initial money from PayPal and no evidence his current wealth is from anything apart from his own work.

Guess that must have been part of Elon’s privilege as well was it.

Don’t think you need to worry about his age as you can only have 2 terms as President and they don’t need to be consecutive. Unless he going to become the Dictator the left claim he will. Maybe that’s what’s Elon’s Tesla robots are for to battle the US armed forces.

"The left"......🤣

What about the 2 space shuttle disasters then? They were both easily avoidable. Both times Nasa knew there was a problem but they thought it would be ok but it wasn't. 14 astronauts killed by stupidity.

Jeez, a strange thing to be worked up about.

Getting and going into space was and never is going to be an easy thing and I think only five missions in total have had fatalities. Three American rockets and two Russian rockets in all the years there has been space travel.

If your pal Elon does start putting people into space on a regular basis as planned. You can put your house on a disaster or three happening at some point, costing human lives.
