  • Here’s a summary of our findings: We located reporting from as far back as 2009 and 2014 that said when Elon Musk (“Elon” hereafter) was a child in South Africa in the 1980s, his father (“Errol” hereafter) at some point owned “a stake in an emerald mine” near Lake Tanganyika in Zambia, not South Africa. Beyond that, we were unable to find any evidence that showed money generated from his father’s involvement in the mine helped Elon build his wealth in North America.

    I once owned a share of Microsoft, therefore I owe any success to that.












  • But you must understand that there are a potentially infinite number of instances and people have limited time to sign up for them.

    So they pick one, or two, or three, that seem okay.

    Then one turns out to be ran by a pedophile, so they stop using that one.

    Then one turns out to be a front for tankies, so they stop using that one.

    Then one turns out to [insert valid criticism of a popular instance], so they are back to account age 0 and searching for a new instance.

    In the old Reddit days you’d never lose your account (or have reason to abandon it) unless you were a nazi or pedophile. I had a twelve year old account banned because someone mass reported all of my (porn) posts, many were auto-actioned, and my appeals were all auto-denied.
