As a mere observer I have to wonder when that #privilege had started since not much seems to have changed in the last 2000 years 🤔. It appears the exploitation of #Africa by the #Europeans in the last few hundred years hasn’t really made a dent either way. It’s almost as if time stood still in that place. Mind you, nowadays Africans too tend to enjoy a plethora of Western inventions. Looks like some progress after all but the bottomline a still on the slim side in comparison. Is it really all just privilege?

You give a btoad historical perspective. My point about Musk's privileged background under apartheid or the systemic inequities that shaped his early life a mere summary.

Well… he’s a rich kid. Privileged, yes I guess you could say that.
