Elon Musk, the tech billionaire 🚀, clarified his South African origins online. Surprisingly, he is not Afrikaans. He is British/English.



"I am of British origin, like Tolkien," said Musk 🇬🇧🇿🇦. It seems there is an unexpected connection there.

Musk and Tolkien. Born in South Africa. British roots 📚🌍. Interesting coincidence.

Musk loves Tolkien. He often quotes him. He even used it to win over Grimes 🧝‍♂️💖. Who would have thought?

Musk's childhood? Complicated. Survival camp at 12. "Lord of the Flies paramilitary," in his words 🏕️💪. Doesn't seem easy.

Ah, and that story about the emerald mine? Musk vehemently denies it 💎❌. Clear irritation when the subject comes up.

This revelation from Musk? Important. It shows how people's origins are not always what they seem 🌟🔍. Especially in the tech world.
