Not only is billionaire Elon Musk one not to back down from his detractors, and his mother is not far behind when it comes to defending her son.

Ever since the Tesla, Space X and Starlink CEO decided to purchase Twitter suddenly there were reports everywhere about how he was raised in South Africa during apartheid, as if he was the one who invented it.

“Elon Musk grew up in elite white communities in South Africa, detached from apartheid’s atrocities and surrounded by anti-Black propaganda. He sees his takeover of Twitter as a free speech win but in his youth did not suffer the effects of misinformation,” The New York Times said in a tweet with a link to a story on the topic.

Of course the story was about Musk and his “white privilege” because that is what The Times has become.

“Mr. Musk has heralded his purchase of Twitter as a victory for free speech, having criticized the platform for removing posts and banning users. It is unclear what role his childhood — coming up in a time and place in which there was hardly a free exchange of ideas and where government misinformation was used to demonize Black South Africans — may have played in that decision,” The Times said, insinuating that it played any role.

“Classmates at two high schools he attended described him as a loner with no close friends. None offered recollections of things he said or did that revealed his views on the politics of the time. But Black schoolmates recall that he spent time with Black friends,” it admitted.

“Mr. Musk’s father, Errol Musk, said in an interview with The New York Times that Elon, his brother and sister were aware from a young age that there was something wrong with the apartheid system. Errol, who was elected to the Pretoria City Council in 1972, said they would ask him about the laws prohibiting Black people from patronizing restaurants, movie theaters and beaches. They had to make calculations when they were going out with nonwhite friends about what they could safely do, he said,” The Times reported.

But one would have to read the story to know that it appears Musk was not a racist, and that it what triggered his mom.

“In South Africa, if you publicly opposed apartheid, you went to jail. In Russia, if you publicly oppose the war, you go to jail. @nytimes are you going to blame children for decisions made by governments? #StopTheWar,” she said.

And it is not the first time she has made news recently.

Musk brought his mother, Maye Musk, with him on Monday night to the Met Gala.

During an interview on the red carpet with Entertainment Tonight, Maye Musk hilariously interrupted her son and said “he doesn’t listen.”

“Sir, I’d say you are the man who’s being much talked about around town, and around the world and maybe on Twitter, I don’t know, social media’s kinda going bananas over you right now,” the ET host began.

“I guess that’s — yeah, that’s probably true,” Musk replied.

“Well, a lot of folks — there are some critics out there that would say, why not —” the host continued.

“Critics? What?” Musk jokingly said.

“Thank goodness, phew,” Musk continued the joke. “For a second there I was worried.”

The ET host asked Musk about some criticizing his move to buy Twitter instead of using the money for something philanthropic.

“Well, I do a lot of things philanthropically,” Musk replied. “Really, my companies are intended to do good for the future of humanity, with Tesla trying to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport and energy. And SpaceX is providing internet to the least served people around the world.”

“The best space company in the world,” Maye interrupted then, repeating, “In the world!”

“And also what you’ve done for Ukraine as well,” the host added.

“Yeah,” Musk agreed. “Absolutely. So we were able to help Ukraine with the Starling terminals and give them connectivity in particularly some of the hardest-hit areas.”

“So aspirationally, I am trying to do good for humanity and the future of civilization,” he concluded.

“Where did you get this mentality?” the host asked, turning to Maye and asking, “Where did your son get this mentality?”

“I told him not to take on the world and the universe, and he didn’t listen,” Maye laughed.

“Clearly, not listening to mom,” the host laughed.

“Doesn’t listen to his mom,” Maye agreed.

The host turned back to Musk with one final question — namely, why he felt that it was important to attend an event like the Met Gala with all of the other things he had going on in his businesses and his life.

Maye interrupted again, answering for him: “I wanted him to come.”

“Yeah,” Musk laughed. “My mom wanted to come, so I brought my mom. That’s the reason.”

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
