I'm South African, so I know a lot about Elon Musk that most people don't. He had a Canadian mother, so he could just move to Canada without having to apply for immigration. And from Canada to the USA is relatively easy.

His first company was funded by money from his father. He also attended very expensive schools where he established contacts with rich people.

Do you know how I got into the USA? I needed a sponsor. I went to a very private, very exclusive school. We remain on the old-boys network for life. When i needed a sponor, I wrote to someone I hadn't seen for 30 years. I was sponsored.

Of course, the USA worked for Elon Musk. He had money and connections. That rather proves my point, doesn't it? It's a deeply classist society, that if you have money, it's wonderful.

I'm not sure what you mean about you wish it was easier for people to live in other countries. I have both South African and EU citizenship. I can live and work in 36 different countries. Because I'm Jewish, I can live and work in Israel. I won a Green Card. I had and have a lot of options.

The USA is a good fit for psychopaths at the top, and that is exactly what I think Elon Musk is.
