Since when is he an Afrikaner? I doubt he can even speak a full sentence of Afrikaans. It's slightly offensive that you just used an entire demographic group as an insult.

The Musks are of Anglo-Canadian, English, Swiss, and Afrikaner descent His family owned a sapphire mine in South Africa during apartheid. That's where his money came from.

Then you might as well call him Swiss. He was even in an English school. And I thought the mine was in Zambia.

Since he was born in South Africa and got his education there.

They speak more Afrikaans in South Africa than English.
