How the roots of the PayPal mafia' extend to apartheid South Africa
Briefly

The article discusses Elon Musk's controversial actions during Donald Trump's inauguration and connects them to his South African roots in apartheid. It highlights Musk's increasing alignment with far-right ideologies, including the endorsement of conspiracy theories about white genocide and racial replacements. Additionally, it examines the influence of the so-called 'PayPal mafia'—a group of billionaires with ties to historical South Africa—on U.S. politics and tech, including figures like Peter Thiel and David Sacks, who share similar ideological tendencies.
Musk's recent behavior raises serious questions about his intentions and echoes troubling aspects of apartheid-era South Africa's legacy, particularly among influential figures from that time.
As he promotes conspiracy theories related to race and genetics, Musk's actions align with a growing trend among influential South African expatriates in the U.S. tech sphere.
