3. Elon's History
Tue Sep 23, 2025, 08:00 AM
Sep 2025

He was born in Pretoria, South Africa.
His parents thought that he was autistic, he was shy, introverted, and a slow learner.
When he was 9, his parents got divorced
He lived with his tyrant father who used to beat him.
He was bullied so much at school he was nearly beaten to death
He fled to Canada with his mother at 17 to avoid being drafted in the South African Military (Another draft dodger just like Trump)
He went to college here in America, but had difficulty getting a green card and had to use every loophole in US law to remain, or they would have kicked his sorry ass back up to Canada where he belongs, and where his mother is a citizen

Elon Musk’s father said of his son, his whole career was funded by an emerald mine
