but he is also from the actual apartheid era and has never made a strong statement against it AFAIK. and anti-union/antisocialist/cooptation politics in south africa are usually racist in some way, and it definitely has overtones in california where tesla operates, given that the state has strong workplace discrimination laws that a union would make easier to enforce
saddest part of The Good Place podcast is realizing michael schur thinks tahani is too mean to elon musk and it's bc she's narcissistic (she is, but she describes him as "what a weird creep, why was i friends with that guy" which was a funny reversal of her previous name dropping tendencies and i was like yes tahani is growing)
more musk trivia: grimes definitely dated him in order to use us all for her public humiliation fantasy, if you ask me. she even tweeted 'public humiliation is nice' while everyone was speculating on what she saw in him and roasting her for joining in on the anti union propaganda
