Replacement Conspiracy:

That conspiracy theory holds that Jewish people and leftists are engineering the ethnic and cultural replacement of white populations with non-white immigrants that will lead to a "white genocide".

Well that's odd for a start leftists tend to hate jews!

fiveleaves; I agree that he is a very dangerous person. Too much power and wealth.

musk is a person of mediocre intelligence who inherited his family's diamond fortune and got very lucky on investing it. he likes to pose himself as a genius but if you actually pay attention to what he says then the limitations become very clear. a good example of how extreme wealth has very little to do with talent or hard work. 
 

he has long espoused weird tech-bro conspiracy theories and unfortunately because of his enormous wealth has the power to inflict his views on everybody else without accountability. billionaires should not be allowed to exist. permitting someone to accrue the wealth of a small city all to themselves creates a serious imbalance of power that is incompatible with democracy.

This is an untrue slur put against him by the envious, I'm no great fan of the man btw, but;

'Elon Musk was raised in hardship, wore second-hand clothes, and ate modestly. He became a self-made billionaire thanks to his sharp mind and desire to create something that will benefit all of humanity, with no help from a despotic father.

In 2018, Business Insider South Africa and Errol Musk created a myth that, despite the lack of evidence, continues to be used to harm Elon Musk and portray him as a rich kid who built a successful business thanks to his father's money. According to the myth, Elon's father, Errol Musk, owned a stake in an apartheid-related emerald mine in Africa, the profit from which provided the family with wealth and was used to finance Elon's business. As fact-checking (via Saving Journalism) shows, this story is absolutely untrue. The evidence revealed shows that Elon himself grew up in poverty and deprivation, achieving success only by his own efforts, but with great moral support from his mother, Maye Musk, brother, Kimbal Musk, and sister, Tosca Musk.'

Without Musk I wouldn't have been able to watch Silenced.

I've just watched it and my faith in the justice system has gone totally.

erm his own father said that he owned an emerald mine... elon musk even said so himself in 2014 and then backtracked on it so either he was lying then or he's lying now

Can you give a reliable link to that ? 

So much jealousy surrounds the man, which indicates he's doing something right; people are never jealous of losers.

His mother, not his father, gave him £2,000  with which he got to Canada. Perhaps the best investment in the history of the world !

From the man himself in a 2014 interview: 

"I’ve been in physical danger before. The funny thing is I’ve not actually been that nervous. In South Africa when I was growing up, my father had a private plane we’d fly in incredibly dangerous weather and barely make it back. This is going to sound slightly crazy, but my father also had a share in an emerald mine in Zambia. I was 15 and really wanted to go with him but didn’t realize how dangerous it was. I couldn’t find my passport so I ended up grabbing my brother’s -- which turned out to be six months overdue! So we had this plane load of contraband and an overdue passport from another person. There were AK-47s all over the place and I’m thinking, “Man, this could really go bad.” I also almost died of malaria in 2001 -- I was within a day and a half of being unrecoverable."

private plane and emerald mine shares! doesn't sound too impoverished. he has of course changed the story since then as many very wealthy people do to try and sell a "rags to riches" story. both versions cannot be true.

i am not jealous of elon musk though i do pity his children 

my main complaint about him is that he has a huge amount of power that he is not accountable for... and that he has this power purely because of his wealth and resources.

[Khandro]

^^^I'm sure he said that, but was it true? He's a well known fantasist, a boy-man telling a ripping yarn.  

[Untitled]

well his dad also says that he had a share in an emerald mine and that he took elon there... so the only person who seems to say otherwise is elon a few years later when he wished to spin a different story about himself... plus his cringeing servile biographer
