Allow me to answer that one: Yes, and then some.

And by engaging with it you demonstrate that you're just as gullible.

Well slave owners did get compensation from the British government when they ended slavery in the empire. No back=pay for the former slaves though.

How will this be explained to our grandkids.

I believe Catturd is one of MAndy’s favourite Xcrement shares, so I am sure he’ll be able to come up with some bullshit excuse that will make sense to his warped mind.

This is quite the take: that apartheid South Africa and majority black rule are just two sides of the same coin.

Never mind. Give it time and it will change from a majority to 100%.
Since October 2025 the US has accepted 4,499 refugees. 4,496 were white Afrikaners.

Jury hands victory to Sam Altman and OpenAI in battle with Elon Musk
Although Musk lost on a "technicality" rather than the case presented and intends to appeal.
But most commentators are saying how in reality they both lost and AI also lost. Both Musk and Altman has a lot of "character" witnesses who were openly discussing the shortcoming of both parties and they both came across really badly to the point where in the US people are moving to a view that whilst AI might be useful, having these people running and profiting from it is bad ...

From the Economist -
Like Elon Musk, I used to amuse myself on warm South African evenings by reading “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. But whereas I thought the Infinite Improbability Drive was just a joke, he seems to have treated it as a challenge. As SpaceX, his rocket firm, prepares to list its shares, it is impossible not to be impressed by his ambition. He wants to build data centres in space, powered directly by the sun, untroubled by NIMBYs and ready to supercharge his quest to build the world’s most powerful artificial intelligence. How much of this will work, no one knows. But the SpaceX IPO could make him a trillionaire, as wealthy as all the households in the country of his birth combined.
Our cover leader this week, hastily pulled together after the SpaceX IPO prospectus was released just before we went to press, makes a number of arguments about Mr Musk. We praise him for the seemingly impossible engineering problems he has solved. We observe that, although his firms have sometimes made use of the state’s resources, they are also the fruits of capitalism on rocket fuel. His latest venture could bring extraordinary benefits to humanity.
Nonetheless, it is troubling to see so much power in the hands of one man, especially a man with such obnoxious political views. Investors should also be concerned at SpaceX’s insider-friendly ownership structure, which makes Mr Musk unsackable. Still, he is not the first galactically ambitious entrepreneur with odious opinions to transform modern life; think of Henry Ford, who brought cars to the masses and ran an antisemitic newspaper on the side. It is a marvel of capitalism that it can harness the talents of such people to (usually) benign ends. Mr Musk’s investors will shoulder the risk; the rest of us can clutch our towels and hitch a bumpy ride.

Can anyone point to a single engineering problem solved by Musk?
