Since when is he an Afrikaner? I doubt he can even speak a full sentence of Afrikaans. It's slightly offensive that you just used an entire demographic group as an insult.

Since he was born in South Africa and got his education there.

They speak more Afrikaans in South Africa than English.

The Musks are of Anglo-Canadian, English, Swiss, and Afrikaner descent His family owned a sapphire mine in South Africa during apartheid. That's where his money came from.

Then you might as well call him Swiss. He was even in an English school. And I thought the mine was in Zambia.
