TWEEPS ASK ELON MUSK TO HELP HOME COUNTRY

@DeanMacpherson: “Can @elonmusk buy Eskom next?”
@joe_emilio_: “Hey @elonmusk please buy South Africa and banish the ANC”
@MokgalakaLemba: “Can Elon Musk buy prime land in Cape Town and give it to the people of Gugulethu, Khayelitsha and others to build homes for themselves. That’ll be lovely”
@fbfb1ee371834f3: “Can Elon Musk sort out the water problem at Ugu District Municipality in KZN?”

IS HE REALLY A SOUTH AFRICAN THOUGH?
But whilst many tweeps are celebrating “one of their own”, others are claiming Elon Musk isn’t really considered a South African.
Elon left SA as a teen for his mother’s home country of Canada. He then settled in the US and has been living there for several decades.
@IvynSambo: “No disrespect but I still don’t see how Elon Musk’s wins are South African wins that we can be proud of!”
@TheAnalyst777: “Stop trying so hard to claim @elonmusk as a South African. I am not fighting”
@Yhu_Abelungu: “@elonmusk doesn’t identify as a South African or even a Pretorian. That guy does not like us! Leave him alone
@LeratoN_: “Charlize Theron has been living in America since 2008 and still calls herself a South African. This is who we should be claiming, not Elon”
Twitter
When asked by a tweep if he considered himself American or South African, Elon Musk replied: “American, but born in South Africa. Left by myself when I was 17”.
