Did Trump Conveniently Forget That Elon Musk is an African Immigrant?

in #news7 years ago


President Trump congratulates Elon Musk and SpaceX on the Falcon Heavy launch, praising it on Twitter as a showing of "American ingenuity at its best," apparently not realizing that Musk is South African

Liberals, shut down your brains and prepare for the incoming transmission....

As usual, a liberal who's offended on behalf of another because that person didn't realize they should have been offended.

thanks so much for the insightful comment!

Ha, that in defence of a guy who made a big fuss about people - namely NFL players - refusing to virtue signal.

musk is one of the children from the dutch people who have colonized south afrika. back then it wasnt allowed to have children between white and blacks, and later the blacks started to turn against the whites (the genocide is still ongoing) so a mix between the races isnt very likely eather.
Amerika was colonized at about the same time. that would make trump as much of an European as musk. nothing special here.

Trump congratulating musk on his achievement and calls it american engineering isnt far of the truth. SpaceX is an american company, with american workers. musk wouldnt have been able to do this in south afrika.

the point of immigration ill just say statistics show different idea's. just because 1 immigrant douse something good dousnt mean honderds of millions of immigrants are all going to do the same.

And im pretty sure Musk is there legaly. I dont recall Trump ever taking issue with that. I dont think its correct to say that blacks turned against whites. The Khosian tribes worked with the dutch and pretty soon had children together, the people making a big fuss dont seem to have been in south africa at that point as far as i can tell.

I don't think you realise that Space X was built in America, by Americans.

Steve Earle says it better than I ever could...

While I won't argue Trump saying dumb things or thinking Elon is American...But congratulating American ingenuity within SpaceX is good...probably a LOT of American engineers that made Falcon Heavy a success.

he doesn't know the diff or cares. If he looks like his "image" then he will treat em as such.

Trump: "So Elon, if you're from Africa, why are you white?"
TIL Elon Musk and Donald Trump went to the same school.
this is embarrassing but I didn't know shit about South Africa until I was in my early 20s and I went to private schools and shit. They just never ever touched on the subject. There might have been one sentence on Apartheid and Nelson Mandela and Africa but I remember being like 21 and just learning that there was a country called "South Africa" full of white people. @davidpakman

Saya memiliki pikiran yang sama tentang elon musik yang menjadi imigran dari afrika selatan.

I had similar thoughts about Elon Musk being an immigrant from South Africa and does DJT know that. Elon Musk and his Space X program is very good for the U.S.A., we are fortunate to have him aboard.

Wow!!, Trump is a joke himself, he say what he likes, nice post, this will be the trending story all day on social media.
