Fun fact: Musk was only hailed as a "genius" in the US because of unearned adulation in the media. In South Africa they never took him seriously.
And South Africa's ambassador to the US just correctly observed that Elon Musk's promotion of the far right in Europe is based in racist ideas.
Which caused Marco Rubio to throw him out of the country, Putin style, for excessive accuracy. God this is humiliating.
