I remember that, lol

I think Elon just realised it was easier to grift to Republicans than Democrats, which is why he "changed sides". I reality he didn't change anything, he only cares about his money and getting funding to continue his money laundering schemes.

No, you see, sorry tweets cancel out owning a blood gem mine!

On 9 March 1972, Errol Musk (Elon's Father) was elected as an independent to represent Sunnyside on the Pretoria City Council. In 1980 , he became a member of the Progressive Federal Party, the new official opposition formed in 1977, and ran as their Sunnyside nominee in the 1981 election.

The Progressive Party (Afrikaans: Progressiewe Party) was a liberal party in South Africa which, during the era of apartheid, was considered the left wing of the all-white parliament. The party represented the legal opposition to apartheid within South Africa's white minority.

The Progressive Party of South Africa is not to be confused with the much earlier Progressive Party of the Cape Colony, which was founded on very different, pro-imperialist policies and which became the "Union Party" in 1908.

Elon Musk applied for a Canadian passport through his Canadian-born mother to avoid South Africa's mandatory military service, which would have forced him to participate in the apartheid regime, and to ease his path to immigration to the United States

Joshua N Haldeman (Elon's Maternal Grandfather) was an American-born Canadian-South African chiropractor, aviator, and politician. He became involved in Canadian politics, backing the Technocracy movement, before moving to South Africa in 1950. In South Africa he was a supporter of apartheid and promoted a number of conspiracy theories.

Joshua also gave a speech defending a decision by a party newspaper to publish the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an antisemitic forgery claiming an International Jewish conspiracy to rule the world. In his speech, Haldeman said “that the plan as outlined in these protocols has been rapidly unfolding in the period of observation of this generation.” He would later claim apartheid South Africa was leading “White Christian Civilization” against the “International Conspiracy” of Jewish bankers and the “hordes of Coloured people” he claimed they controlled.

I can't find anymore, but there used to be an article saying that Errol Musk supported the end of apartheid because it would have been good for his business, since South Africa didn't have relations with other countries besides Malawi. Errol used to own an emerald mine in Zambia, which was under a Socdem Military control goverment which supported the ANC and was against Apartheid. Anyway, Errol is also an awful person like Elon, and he married his own step-daughter which is really fucking weird and gross.
