Elon Musk is worth over 400 Billion dollars, and he is from South Africa. Somehow I’m confused on what this article is going on about.
Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber said he could not provide details on Elon Musk, Reon Barnard, Peter Thiel, and David Sacks’ South African citizenship.
Leon Schreiber is another white guy. I wonder what his net worth is ?
He’s now a US citizen.
