He took something and made it something new, and better. it's like when a caveman took a rock and shaped it into a wheel.

You sure have a hate boner for Elon Musk. It's pretty damn amusing.

" it's like when a caveman took a rock and shaped it into a wheel."

bhwahahaha, you have a good sense of humor i must say, it's not reality though, I don't hate him, I just don't take him seriously, you seem to have an obvious boner for him though.

ZickyJackz [497258]

Boner for him? Nah, not exactly. I just think he is what billionaires should be. People who use their vast wealth and fame to help humanity. Even if it isn't "enough" help for some, its leagues better than what most rich f**ks do. You don't seem wall street or hedge fund f**kers doing jack shit to help people.

Capgros [2088627]

Do you even know where his wealth comes from?, white, rich South African parents...well....

ZickyJackz [497258]

Does that even matter? Your claim was that he "invented nothing".

Again, He is filthy rich, yes. But he has done some good for humanity.

And what does it matter that his parents are "white"? Would it somehow be better if they were Arabian? Or Asian?

Capgros [2088627]

Well, it kind of shows white privilege, not that you can blame Musk for it, but wealthy people are not always wealthy because they are better than others.

White from South Africa, while owning an emerald mine says something (although musk denies this), I just don't believe in the hype around rich people, but maybe you are right and my comment was a bit too harsh, on the other hand, many reports from his factories have come that he is kind of a racist dickhead towards black people, but yeah, without hard evidence that's hard to say.

do you unironically believe Elon Musk is the inventor of the hyper loop?

ZickyJackz [497258]

The research I did on Google seems to think it was Musk, so yeah?

WiseTheRumGone [2078276]

the original thinker who came up with the concept is Robert Goddard. in 1909. over 100 years ago. Elon even mentions it himself

and Elon is yet to come even remotely close to building it. not even a single prototype has been built yet.

Elon musk is simply advocating it. he isn't the only one who came up with the idea. he isn't the one who is building it. he isn't even the one who is paying for it.

Most White, South Africans who left (Elon Musk has talked about why he left, and why he would never go back) South Africa are racist towards black South Africans.

And for good reason, there's been growing tensions and a series of militants in South Africa hellbent on forcibly removing the white man from South Africa - People who blame the countries problems on the white man.

When you lived in a country where neighbouring farmers or individuals would be murdered in coldblood in their fenced off communities, you grow a deeply rooted mistrust towards the group that perpetrated the crime.

I'm not a huge fan of Elon Musk - But I dig the stuff he's been working towards such as: Re-igniting the space-race in America, helping fast track the electric car industry into efficient more weather resistant electric vehicles (Just 5 years ago electric vehicles were a firm no in colder parts in Canada, Tesla has managed to keep their batteries fully functional in up to -50c), sparking a significant push into renewables and solar energy.

But there's also a few quack ideas he's had: Hyperloop - Sorry but this is straight Sci-Fi and unpractical and comes with significant safety concerns, his projected cost/launch of his reusable rockets (So far it's actually cheaper to manufacture new rockets than refit their reusable designs, but I believe in the long run they'll be able to bring that cost per launch down significantly - Assuming we can either make more fuel efficient rockets (unlikely, but am not a physicist), or find an alternative fuel (I think we'd have to look to Sci-Fi movies/books in regards to this one)

You forget that black people were massively murdered for decades.

"In one of the most devastating aspects of apartheid, the government forcibly removed black South Africans from rural areas designated as “white” to the homelands and sold their land at low prices to white farmers.

They were not, you are stating a Neonazi theory:

In August 2018, US President Donald Trump was accused of endorsing the conspiracy theory in a foreign policy tweet instructing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to investigate South African "land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers",^[36][37][38] claiming that the "South African government is now seizing land from white farmers".^[39] The often critical narrative derived from the South African farm attacks, and land reform in South Africa, is an established subset theme of the broader conspiracy theory,^[26] portrayed in media as a form of gateway or proxy issue to "white genocide" within the wider context of the Western world.^[40][39] The topic of farm seizures in South Africa and Zimbabwe has been a rallying cry of white nationalists and alt-right groups^[41][42] who use it to justify their vision of white supremacy.^[43][39]

Far-right and alt-right figures, such as singer Steve Hofmeyr, have claimed that a "white genocide" is taking place in South Africa.^[110] The South African singer, songwriter, political activist, actor, and TV presenter supports and promotes the conspiracy theory.^{[32][111][23]} The Conversation has credited Hofmeyr with popularizing the concept.^[110] In January 2017, media reported that Hofmeyr was set to meet US President-elect Donald Trump to discuss "white genocide" in South Africa.^[112][113] Hofmeyr later thanked Trump when the latter shared a tweet asking "Secretary of State [Mike Pompeo] to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers."^[114]


The manifesto of far-right terrorist Anders Behring Breivik, entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence, devotes an entire section to an alleged "genocide" against Afrikaners. It also contains several other references to alleged persecution of whites in South Africa and the attacks on white farmers.^[110] Mike Cernovich, an American alt-right commentator, has previously stated that "white genocide in South Africa is real".^[115] The survivalist group the Suidlanders has claimed credit for internationally publicizing the risks of a race war and ethnic cleansing against whites.<sup>[116][43]

Edit:</sup>

Africa Check, a fact-checking organisation, rejected these claims as false in 2013: "In fact, whites are less likely to be murdered than any other race group." Africa Check reported that while whites account for nearly 9% of the South African population they represent just 1.8% of murder victims. Lizette Lancaster from the Institute for Security Studies has said that "Whites are far less likely to be murdered than their black or coloured counterparts."^{[117][118][119]} British journalist Joe Walsh reported that the murder rates in the mainly white suburbs of Johannesburg were far lower than in the black townships of Johannesburg, leading him to conclude: "If there was any kind of genocide being carried out against white people in the country then the safest areas of the continent's most dangerous city would not be predominately white."^[42]

Everything has to go back to "NeOnAzI" with you huh?

I've literally been to South Africa (Lost a few contracts to locals who I outpriced, but I support South Africa taking a citizens first approach to governance, as I wish the West would), I have friends and family who still live there to this day, I've seen physical evidence that there's a lot of growing tensions between the two races in South Africa, I've watched literal documentaries by Al Jazeera, ABC, Sky Australia, France 24, etc Or are all those outlets controlled by Neo-nazi groups? I've literally watched an interview with one of the local news outlets asking if the man is calling for a genocide against white people - And he said "not yet." not "no." - So please continue to tell me how that's Neo nazi propoganda when the interview predates Trump being in office.

Pointing out that white farmers and land owners in South Africa are being massacred is not me saying the government is seizing land and advocating for the murder of farmers, it's me not denying the existence of these events.

I'm sure if you lived in China too you'd be sitting here denying the Uyghur genocide as well and claiming that to be Neo nazi propoganda.

Everything seems to be a dog whistle to you it seems.

Have you ever reflected on the fact that everything that goes against the left's narrative seems to root back to Donald Trump and White Supremacists? The left's own QAnon/Boogie-man card. It's like you forget there's been more than the last four years to refer back to.

You couldn't make shit up, the white genocide theory......You forgot that the white man were the invading force in South Africa and took all their richness, not that every white man is guilty, surely not, but they are not massively being killed or anything like that and you can understand that over a century of keeping indigenous people poor and second hand citizens is not really constructive, actually the representation of the black people has been very mild regarding what happened after the apartheid ended. You forget that black people were massively murdered for decades.

"In one of the most devastating aspects of apartheid, the government forcibly removed black South Africans from rural areas designated as “white” to the homelands and sold their land at low prices to white farmers. From 1961 to 1994, more than 3.5 million people were forcibly removed from their homes and deposited in the Bantustans, where they were plunged into poverty and hopelessness"

White people in South Africa shouldn't be the ones crying.

As I said, I'm just pointing out what is going on there, I'm not denying history.

Can you stop jumping down my throat jumping to absurd conclusions? You seem to have this hard-on with twisting the other persons point further from the topic at hand.

but they are not massively being killed or anything like that

To deny that farmers are being massacred left and right is disgusting don't you think? When you can go online and see video upon video of gated compounds being rushed by locals, farmers having their homes invaded (Rip LiveLeaks), and countless documentaries done by Al Jazeera, VPro, ABC, Sky News Australia, Frank 24, etc about the "reverse apartheid" - Hell I recall an interview where one of the prominent Warlords in South Africa was bluntly asked about starting another genocide and instead of saying "no" he responded with "We have not called for that yet, but it's not off the table yet."

I'm not denying Black people were massacred over in SA in the past. (I don't deny history, I acknowledge it and strive to not repeat history)

But I'm also not denying White people aren't being massacred over in SA now. (I acknowledge it, and point to history as a means of saying "The wrongs of the past cannot be used to shape the future if they're rooted in repeating the same wrong to achieve justice.")

One wrong does not justify another wrong.

Capgros [2088627]

They were not, you are stating a Neonazi theory:

In August 2018, US President Donald Trump was accused of endorsing the conspiracy theory in a foreign policy tweet instructing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to investigate South African "land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers",^[36][37][38] claiming that the "South African government is now seizing land from white farmers".^[39] The often critical narrative derived from the South African farm attacks, and land reform in South Africa, is an established subset theme of the broader conspiracy theory,^[26] portrayed in media as a form of gateway or proxy issue to "white genocide" within the wider context of the Western world.^[40][39] The topic of farm seizures in South Africa and Zimbabwe has been a rallying cry of white nationalists and alt-right groups^[41][42] who use it to justify their vision of white supremacy.^[43][39]

Far-right and alt-right figures, such as singer Steve Hofmeyr, have claimed that a "white genocide" is taking place in South Africa.^[110] The South African singer, songwriter, political activist, actor, and TV presenter supports and promotes the conspiracy theory.^{[32][111][23]} The Conversation has credited Hofmeyr with popularizing the concept.^[110] In January 2017, media reported that Hofmeyr was set to meet US President-elect Donald Trump to discuss "white genocide" in South Africa.^[112][113] Hofmeyr later thanked Trump when the latter shared a tweet asking "Secretary of State [Mike Pompeo] to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers."^[114]


The manifesto of far-right terrorist Anders Behring Breivik, entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence, devotes an entire section to an alleged "genocide" against Afrikaners. It also contains several other references to alleged persecution of whites in South Africa and the attacks on white farmers.^[110] Mike Cernovich, an American alt-right commentator, has previously stated that "white genocide in South Africa is real".^[115] The survivalist group the Suidlanders has claimed credit for internationally publicizing the risks of a race war and ethnic cleansing against whites.<sup>[116][43]

Edit:</sup>

Africa Check, a fact-checking organisation, rejected these claims as false in 2013: "In fact, whites are less likely to be murdered than any other race group." Africa Check reported that while whites account for nearly 9% of the South African population they represent just 1.8% of murder victims. Lizette Lancaster from the Institute for Security Studies has said that "Whites are far less likely to be murdered than their black or coloured counterparts."^{[117][118][119]} British journalist Joe Walsh reported that the murder rates in the mainly white suburbs of Johannesburg were far lower than in the black townships of Johannesburg, leading him to conclude: "If there was any kind of genocide being carried out against white people in the country then the safest areas of the continent's most dangerous city would not be predominately white."^[42]

Everything has to go back to "NeOnAzI" with you huh?

I've literally been to South Africa (Lost a few contracts to locals who I outpriced, but I support South Africa taking a citizens first approach to governance, as I wish the West would), I have friends and family who still live there to this day, I've seen physical evidence that there's a lot of growing tensions between the two races in South Africa, I've watched literal documentaries by Al Jazeera, ABC, Sky Australia, France 24, etc Or are all those outlets controlled by Neo-nazi groups? I've literally watched an interview with one of the local news outlets asking if the man is calling for a genocide against white people - And he said "not yet." not "no." - So please continue to tell me how that's Neo nazi propoganda when the interview predates Trump being in office.

Pointing out that white farmers and land owners in South Africa are being massacred is not me saying the government is seizing land and advocating for the murder of farmers, it's me not denying the existence of these events.

I'm sure if you lived in China too you'd be sitting here denying the Uyghur genocide as well and claiming that to be Neo nazi propoganda.

Everything seems to be a dog whistle to you it seems.

Have you ever reflected on the fact that everything that goes against the left's narrative seems to root back to Donald Trump and White Supremacists? The left's own QAnon/Boogie-man card. It's like you forget there's been more than the last four years to refer back to.

My sister lived there for 10 years, her husband is from there so I know things about South Africa, more than you would like me to know

you just state bullshit without any evidence, which makes you suspicious yeah, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because I know alt right propaganda is pretty effective and a lot of people stating these theories are not alt right

"Everything has to go back to "NeOnAzI" with you huh?"

It's literally a theory made up by Neonazis, sorry for the inconvenience

The white genocide, white extinction,^[1] or white replacement conspiracy theory^[2][3][4] is a white supremacist^[5][6][7][8] belief that there is a deliberate plot, often blamed on Jews,^[5][8] to promote miscegenation,^[9] interracial marriage, mass non-white immigration, racial integration, low fertility rates, abortion, governmental land-confiscation from whites, organised violence,^[10] and eliminationism in white-founded countries^[5] in order to cause the extinction of whites through forced assimilation^[10] mass immigration, and violent genocide.^{[11][12][13][14]} Less frequently, black people,^[15] Hispanics,^[16] and Muslims^[17] are blamed, but merely as more fertile immigrants,^[18] invaders,^[19] or violent aggressors,^[20] rather than the masterminds of a secret plot.^[21]

Than you jump to China which has literally nothing to do with what you are stating here, do you really compare the position of white farmers in south Africa to Uyghurs in china? WTF mate.

ehhh i dunno..... white people in south africa are facing more discrimination and harm than black people in america.... so if white people in south america shouldnt be crying then black people in america should be crying far less right?

so im not sure that ones a very good argument from a humanitarian standpoint.
everyones human, everyone should be treated as a human wherever they are i wont even mention whatever skin colour they are because it doesnt need that divide as whatever skin colour you are you are still human. there is no difference between 1 human and the other.

although ideology is indeed a big difference and causes problems.... but ideological differences should be sorted by debate and co-operation... which is hard when alot of them, like religions, have conditioned their followers to be like brick walls to reasoning. which is like cult behaviour, we need to get rid of cult like ideologies to progress humanity. but then again, for all i know, perhaps my idea of that is cult like too? and thus maybe my views are also a problem? would we know if we are infected by cult like views or not? probably not, as thats how hard and brick walled they make people .... which then causes a problem as to identifying the cult like ideologies that shut down reasoning and co-operation.

Most White, South Africans who left (Elon Musk has talked about why he left, and why he would never go back) South Africa are racist towards black South Africans.

And for good reason, there's been growing tensions and a series of militants in South Africa hellbent on forcibly removing the white man from South Africa - People who blame the countries problems on the white man.

When you lived in a country where neighbouring farmers or individuals would be murdered in coldblood in their fenced off communities, you grow a deeply rooted mistrust towards the group that perpetrated the crime.

I'm not a huge fan of Elon Musk - But I dig the stuff he's been working towards such as: Re-igniting the space-race in America, helping fast track the electric car industry into efficient more weather resistant electric vehicles (Just 5 years ago electric vehicles were a firm no in colder parts in Canada, Tesla has managed to keep their batteries fully functional in up to -50c), sparking a significant push into renewables and solar energy.

But there's also a few quack ideas he's had: Hyperloop - Sorry but this is straight Sci-Fi and unpractical and comes with significant safety concerns, his projected cost/launch of his reusable rockets (So far it's actually cheaper to manufacture new rockets than refit their reusable designs, but I believe in the long run they'll be able to bring that cost per launch down significantly - Assuming we can either make more fuel efficient rockets (unlikely, but am not a physicist), or find an alternative fuel (I think we'd have to look to Sci-Fi movies/books in regards to this one)

You couldn't make shit up, the white genocide theory......You forgot that the white man were the invading force in South Africa and took all their richness, not that every white man is guilty, surely not, but they are not massively being killed or anything like that and you can understand that over a century of keeping indigenous people poor and second hand citizens is not really constructive, actually the representation of the black people has been very mild regarding what happened after the apartheid ended. You forget that black people were massively murdered for decades.

"In one of the most devastating aspects of apartheid, the government forcibly removed black South Africans from rural areas designated as “white” to the homelands and sold their land at low prices to white farmers. From 1961 to 1994, more than 3.5 million people were forcibly removed from their homes and deposited in the Bantustans, where they were plunged into poverty and hopelessness"

White people in South Africa shouldn't be the ones crying.

ehhh i dunno..... white people in south africa are facing more discrimination and harm than black people in america.... so if white people in south america shouldnt be crying then black people in america should be crying far less right?

so im not sure that ones a very good argument from a humanitarian standpoint.
everyones human, everyone should be treated as a human wherever they are i wont even mention whatever skin colour they are because it doesnt need that divide as whatever skin colour you are you are still human. there is no difference between 1 human and the other.

although ideology is indeed a big difference and causes problems.... but ideological differences should be sorted by debate and co-operation... which is hard when alot of them, like religions, have conditioned their followers to be like brick walls to reasoning. which is like cult behaviour, we need to get rid of cult like ideologies to progress humanity. but then again, for all i know, perhaps my idea of that is cult like too? and thus maybe my views are also a problem? would we know if we are infected by cult like views or not? probably not, as thats how hard and brick walled they make people .... which then causes a problem as to identifying the cult like ideologies that shut down reasoning and co-operation.

no.... but still their quality of life is certainly worse than americas.

americans are just too privileged to see their own privilege.
we can perhaps search quality of life stats for each country and compare maybe to try and find statistical comparisons of the 2 countries to sort which one has more opportunity and better quality of life? that will probably act as a good judge between us on this perhaps?
