Musk is South African. We should expect his loyalties to reflect his home country more than the US.

What exactly the fuck does any of this have to do with South Africa?

[–] mwguy@infosec.pub -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

South Africa is much more friendly with Russia and China than is the US.
