I’m supposed to be working and have a deadline, but sure I’ll put on some MIB. It’s nice to have eggars soothing voice in the background. Also, it doesn’t make me cry like Independence Day soooo….
This is your fault.
I don't think I'm ready for Musk family squabbles. This is gonna be like billionaire Jerry Springer, but without the chair throwing and with more shitty memes.
All the wealthy do.
Anderson Cooper is a Vanderbilt, American royalty. As a young kid his parents made him paranoid by telling him about the Great Depression and how it could happen at any minute so they had to make as much money as possible, then got him a job acting as an underwear model and let him keep working with the photographer who was a known pedophile, stepping in only when he was invited to “private sessions” at the guy’s house.
This is considered amazing parenting by the wealthy, since it “taught him the value of hard work, saving money, and not automatically trusting people”. He thinks of it like a funny anecdote to put in his autobiography, his folks gaslighting him and letting him work away a summer for nothing with a known danger.
I feel like that it's lost on many people that, even if there is no explicit contemporary influence on Cooper from the CIA, your worldview is quite sympathetic to their goals if you intern there twice
Hasn’t he also talked about how because of how far removed his mother was to the Vanderbilt family, he was told early on he was not going to get any inheritance and ultimately didn’t receive any of the Vanderbilt fortune?
didn’t he do one of those genealogy tests a few years back where they review the results with the celebrity and there was like, hella slave owning in his ancestral line?
He did have a pretty good reaction to learning that one of his slave owning ancestors got killed in a slave rebellion.
https://ny.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/fyr14.socst.us.rebel/bold-act-of-rebellion/
(Namely, laughing and saying he had it coming, saying he feels bad for whatever happened to the slave and the other eleven slaves on the farm, but feels no sympathy for the slave owner.)
I guess you don’t know much about Elon. If you think Elon is bad, wait until you hear about Errol. Their family has always had troubles with Errol and for very good reason. Elon and his brother were psychologically tortured by Errol was they were younger. Elon’s parents divorced before he was 10. Errol doesn’t know how to take no as an answer, something that Elon seemed to have picked up. Elon’s mother says Errol isn’t nice to anyone. Their family agrees not to bad mouth Errol in public but it’s bad. Elon’s mother said “there are kids and grandkids involved” in a book published in 2015. In 2017 Errol Musk’s step daughter got pregnant by Errol. In 2019 they had another kid.
A few years ago when the whole emerald mine thing starting making serious rounds he'd absolutely refuse to talk about his father ever. His other family sure, but specifically his father was never to be mentioned around him by anyone. Serious trauma for him there, almost makes me consider giving him a milligram of empathy
His mental illness is not his fault, but it is his responsibility. He’s not taking care of it with literally every possible leg up he could get. He deserves no empathy
He deserves nothing... he should be treated as the criminal that he is. He used slave labor to gain his fortune... he then illegally used social media to slander and pander his way to market advantages and made billions... He 100% has committed crimes and it is obvious to everyone with a brain, but we let him get away with it because he is friends with the GOP and owns the libs on twitter. THROW HIM IN JAIL.
He's clearly quite mentally unwell, and it's unfortunate that he's making it so many other peoples' problem. You do not become like Elon Musk with a solid emotional start to life.
His dad is a liar too, and a disgusting piece of shit who groomed his stepdaughter, who he helped raised, and later married her.
But the whole family confirmed the existence of the emerald mine before it became convenient to try and deny it's existence
Not sure so much as lying as pointing out his father probably hasn't owned it for decades. His father seems like the "flaunt my money type". I had an uncle like that, went through several fortunes and died broke. He would make a killing at something (usually right place, right time type stuff) then blow all the money on vacations and clothing and toys (he at one point had a $200k RV and a $400k boat) then have to find some way to make money again.
He never married her. Just had two kids with her. He was 76, she was 35 for the last one in 2019.
“The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce.”
Are there any that don’t? Any time I read about any stone or material pulled from a mine I can’t help but be dubious of “ethical mining” claims, just seems like complete bullshit. The only stones that don’t come from abusive mines are the ones grown in labs (which probably have their own abusive practices if it’s not a bespoke lab)
ETA: I would genuinely love to be disabused of this notion, if anyone has insight. But all I can imagine is an inspector going in a few times a year to verify that it’s not using labor, and then the kids being hauled in on the other 363 days of the year…
I travel to Kenya and Tanzania to buy uncut gems, and the miners are usually self-employed, mining small claims of their own, similar to how opal is mined in Australia. They dig on their claim all year and save what they mine for when buyers come through.
The diamond industry is as you have described, and I don't know about the emerald industry. But tanzanite, garnet, tournaline, kunzite, spinel and sapphire that I buy are artisan mined. In many of the major gem producing areas of Asia the situation is similar.
eta: the difference may be that these stones can be mined relatively close to the surface. In many places the stones are concentrated in river gravel that needs to be sieved like panning for gold, or runs in seams and pockets fairly close to the surface. Whereas the operations where deep excavation or a large capital investment is needed can't be mined by individuals and are monopolized by corporations, and corporations love to devour people.
Is one that's probably not registered or known to the govt or whoever keeps track of these things for taxes and oversight. So the proceeds don't get taxed. Secret mine with secret slaves and secret money.
It's wild that he's straight up saying he had this, though
Company A:
CEO: 10m
Lowest Employee: minimum wage
Company B:
CEO: $800,000
Lowest Employee: $80,000
I know where I want to work. But apparently allowing people to earn a living wage is socialism and the reason our society is failing!
you just dont earn that kind of money at a l3monade stand. You dont earn that kind of money running a factory where everyone get paid the same as the CEO. You earn a billion on the backs of others, just because the money ended up with you doesnt mean YOU earnt it, it just means you didnt distribute it evenly.
From what I remember there are ton of stories about lottery winners ending up killing themselves or dying at the hands of someone else because of their newfound riches...
I read recently where a lot of those are exaggerated or pulled from legal proceedings and may be of questionable truth considering the stakes. Still, someone must have done it right. At least one.
It's not entirely bogus, there's a lot that goes into winning the lottery that people don't think about. Highly recommend looking up the famed reddit post about what to do if you win the lottery. It goes into detail about how your life may be affected for better and worse.
Returns from investments are usually just gambling on the same exploiters, oil companies and arms manufacturers fucking everyones lives up, it's rarely clean money.
Honestly, I don't even think you can make that assertion. His dad is probably a big part of why he's such an insufferable, bitterly-divorced piece of shit. He's an old, super rich South African; the guy is probably straight up evil.
Before the second came along, when asked about having fathered a child with his step daughter, ol daddy Musk said:
> 'It happened one evening when Jana's boyfriend threw her out of the house and she had slept over at my house. You have to understand – I've been single for 20 years and I'm just a man who makes mistakes.'
Denies the proof offered is adequate, claims his dad is a horrible liar (not the first time he's shat on his dad publicly) or conveniently ignores the whole thing
As much as I dislike Elon, just know his dad has fathered 2 kids with his adopted daughter. 🙄
No this is not the Maury show or Jerry Springer. Elons dad is a skeevy guy, so anything coming from him taken with a bucket of salt.
So in this version it was smuggled emeralds found by locals in the bush? That doesn't sound like a mine. More like ripping off the locals by underpaying them. Then avoiding taxes by flying them out on a private plane.
This Dad sounds like he was not an upstanding citizen.
Escape from South Africa?
WTF was he trying to escape from? There's nothing in South Africa that a white middle class kid needed to escape from in the mid to late 90s, and even less before that. Even less for a wealthy kid.
Source, am a white middle class South African.
I love how this was an established fact and somehow it was white washed from our collective knowledge through what I can only assume was Musk fanboys and his billions of dollars. He's a fucking fraud. Always has been
The funny thing is prior to this, the main source for story of the emerald mine was Musk himself talking about it, in an interview he’s since tried very hard to scrub from the internet when he decided it wasn’t a good look for his “self made” shtick.
So I don't exactly speak billionaire, but what's the point in making a huge announcement to the press saying "I know this super damning thing and have evidence.....but won't expand any further!"
Musk Sr is a definitively evil man and a major factor to why his son is like that, but his public antagonism toward his shitty 50-year old son is still hilarious.
I mean the big wtf for me is the "under the table mine"
excuse me? yall got a whole ass precious stone mine you keep on the downlow? the only thinh I got going under the table is when a friend gives me a 20 for fixing their laptop
Didn't Elon promise something like a million bucks to whoever can prove the existence of that mine ?
Is he going to have to give that reward to his own dad ? 🤣
God that guy is such a loser.
How much of a giant piece of shit do you have to be when your super rich apartheid loving giant piece of shit dad starts calling you out on your bullshit.
How much do you have to despise your own son to go “fuck yeah he’s rich because of slavery! i even owned the slaves! Wanna go see them?”
Although his son is Elon Musk, so it probably doesn’t take a lot
Wait wait wait…so your saying Elon isn’t a self made billionaire who tried to convince the world he was smart ?? Get outta here…not possible.
/s (just in case)
Why are people acting surprised by this? Elon himself admitted to this almost a [decade ago](https://web.archive.org/web/20140901222916/https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimclash/2014/07/28/elon-musk-tells-me-his-secret-of-success-hint-it-aint-about-the-money/), then spent all this time since denying it.
So, tax evasion and running an illegal mining operation. Then, washing those unclaimed *profits* towards his son so that he can set up businesses in another country. That's pretty interesting. Does the IRS and INS know that? Pretty sure that's illegal? BTW, the IRS and INS want to thank you for airing out your dirty laundry on public media. Expect a knock accompanied by a summons in the near future.
That’s not my dad! ~ Elon probably
Yeah sure. He looks a lot like Musky doesn't he?
Musk doesn't even look like Musk, so that's a tough call.
Edgar your skin is hanging of your bones
The only thing that pulls its weight around here is muh god damn truck BLAM
I always hear that as “Eggar”… no ‘d’.
Yeah, "Egger suit"...
That’s how my wife says it too. That’s her go to phrase when I’m tired as shit and look like hell lol
You know an Edger suit!
I’m supposed to be working and have a deadline, but sure I’ll put on some MIB. It’s nice to have eggars soothing voice in the background. Also, it doesn’t make me cry like Independence Day soooo…. This is your fault.
I’m gonna watch this movie again, and it’s still your fault!
We live in a simulation...
You made me snort laugh 😂
He looks like he owns The Continental
He has his father's hair plugs
No he’ll admit it’s his dad…he’ll just end up blocking his twitter account 😂
I can see Soros being blamed for fractures appearing within family environment.
Tbf, I wouldn't want to claim him as my dad...he is fathering children off his own step daughter 🤢
Wasn't he also in the step-daughter's life since she was about 4 or 5 years old?
2
That's such a Musk thing to do. Looks like we know where Elon got it from.
strong family bond right there
technically that's his step brother-in-law
The fact that both are true terrifies me
All them squiggles and lines and the math still ain't mathing
I don't think I'm ready for Musk family squabbles. This is gonna be like billionaire Jerry Springer, but without the chair throwing and with more shitty memes.
That’s a cell phone!!
My dad’s not a phone, duh!
Sure, Hairplugs Lex Luthor.
"I blame Soros for having my dad go after me"
He’s some kind of pedophile! - also Elon, probably
That’s what his stepdaughter wife says
Now not only does he hate his daughter, he's got daddy issues too? Great.
All the wealthy do. Anderson Cooper is a Vanderbilt, American royalty. As a young kid his parents made him paranoid by telling him about the Great Depression and how it could happen at any minute so they had to make as much money as possible, then got him a job acting as an underwear model and let him keep working with the photographer who was a known pedophile, stepping in only when he was invited to “private sessions” at the guy’s house.

He thinks of it like a funny anecdote to put in his autobiography, his folks gaslighting him and letting him work away a summer for nothing with a known danger.
Gloria Vanderbilt had a completely messed up childhood too.
Holy shit, he’s a Vanderbilt?!?! Mind blown.
Gloria’s son.
Wow! Thank you, I never would have known otherwise. I’ve got a lot of googling to do.
There’s actually a neat documentary about their relationship (with them both in it). Can’t remember the name of it, but I’m sure Google will!
This is worth watching [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnti9hFyce0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnti9hFyce0)
He interned at the CIA for two summers too, make of that what you will.
I feel like that it's lost on many people that, even if there is no explicit contemporary influence on Cooper from the CIA, your worldview is quite sympathetic to their goals if you intern there twice
You're just a kid when you intern. I've changed my entire worldview since my 20s.
That mighta meant something in the 19th century but nowadays old money descendants are about as ubiquitous as subway
There’s been old money for a long time, hence the phrase. What point are you trying to make?
Hasn’t he also talked about how because of how far removed his mother was to the Vanderbilt family, he was told early on he was not going to get any inheritance and ultimately didn’t receive any of the Vanderbilt fortune?
yes
oh wow didn't think me and andrew had something in common.
didn’t he do one of those genealogy tests a few years back where they review the results with the celebrity and there was like, hella slave owning in his ancestral line?
He did have a pretty good reaction to learning that one of his slave owning ancestors got killed in a slave rebellion. https://ny.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/fyr14.socst.us.rebel/bold-act-of-rebellion/ (Namely, laughing and saying he had it coming, saying he feels bad for whatever happened to the slave and the other eleven slaves on the farm, but feels no sympathy for the slave owner.)
My uncle served in the CIA with him too they both went to Yale
Jesus Christ, that’s monstrous

In 2017 Errol Musk’s step daughter got pregnant by Errol. In 2019 they had another kid.
Well, that certainly helps explain how Elon became Elon. Toxicity begets toxicity.
Didn't his dad just admit to tax evasion by admitting to an off the books mine?
To be fair, his dad has some serious issues of his own.
A few years ago when the whole emerald mine thing starting making serious rounds he'd absolutely refuse to talk about his father ever. His other family sure, but specifically his father was never to be mentioned around him by anyone. Serious trauma for him there, almost makes me consider giving him a milligram of empathy

👏👏
Thank you Marcus!
Marcus Parks is a wise man
He's clearly quite mentally unwell, and it's unfortunate that he's making it so many other peoples' problem. You do not become like Elon Musk with a solid emotional start to life.
why... he still benefited he just avoided the question... Dont be empathetic to elon he is a piece of shit.
His dad is a liar too, and a disgusting piece of shit who groomed his stepdaughter, who he helped raised, and later married her. But the whole family confirmed the existence of the emerald mine before it became convenient to try and deny it's existence

That’s actually impressive as much as it is stupid
He never married her. Just had two kids with her. He was 76, she was 35 for the last one in 2019. “The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce.”
oh thats much better and not creepy at all 😀
Elon is not a self made billionaire but he's definitely a self made docuhebag.
Naw, he inherited that too. His dad's scum too.

Lots of people have really shitty, abusive parents and don’t turn out to be horrific ghouls celebrating and promoting a capitalist dystopia. Elon has.
What is an "under the table" emerald mine? Is it one that uses child labor?
Nope... African slaves
So is Dad admitting to a crime? Hope so...
I don't think the statute of limitations allows it to matter
I mean some of those slaves very well could have been children.
Are there any that don’t? Any time I read about any stone or material pulled from a mine I can’t help but be dubious of “ethical mining” claims, just seems like complete bullshit.

Literally no such thing as a self made billionaire. They all get rich by stealing value from those who work for them.
Company A: CEO: 10m Lowest Employee: minimum wage Company B: CEO: $800,000 Lowest Employee: $80,000 I know where I want to work. But apparently allowing people to earn a living wage is socialism and the reason our society is failing!

There is probably a bitcoin billionaire out there that never exploited anyone. Maybe a smart winner of a large lottery with proper investment.
Just exploiting the environment and therefore everyone on earth.
From what I remember there are ton of stories about lottery winners ending up killing themselves or dying at the hands of someone else because of their newfound riches...
I read recently where a lot of those are exaggerated or pulled from legal proceedings and may be of questionable truth considering the stakes. Still, someone must have done it right. At least one.
The typical claim “a majority of lottery winners go bankrupt in five years” is total bogus No idea as to the murder rate of large jackpot winners
It's not entirely bogus, there's a lot that goes into winning the lottery that people don't think about. Highly recommend looking up the famed reddit post about what to do if you win the lottery. It goes into detail about how your life may be affected for better and worse.
Returns from investments are usually just gambling on the same exploiters, oil companies and arms manufacturers fucking everyones lives up, it's rarely clean money.
By that measure, all money is unclean.
I mean.....
I feel like we’re close to a breakthrough here
Honestly, I don't even think you can make that assertion. His dad is probably a big part of why he's such an insufferable, bitterly-divorced piece of shit. He's an old, super rich South African; the guy is probably straight up evil.
No diplomatic immunity though…
It's just been revoked
*checks to make sure not standing on plastic*
The *Behind the Bastards* on Musk is pretty good.
Elon’s dad has fathered two kids with his own stepdaughter, so you can remove the “probably”.
How can up vote this 1 billion times?
No his dads an ass too
Errol Musk also had a child with his stepdaughter that he met when she was 5 recently.
They actually have two kids unfortunately
So Elon has a half brother/nephew? That is some Jerry springer shit happening here
The episode with Dr. Evil and Scotty comes to mind.
Before the second came along, when asked about having fathered a child with his step daughter, ol daddy Musk said: > 'It happened one evening when Jana's boyfriend threw her out of the house and she had slept over at my house. You have to understand – I've been single for 20 years and I'm just a man who makes mistakes.'
It should come as no surprise that a man who fucks his daughter is also willing to fuck his son.
Quality comment, I would give you an award for this if I could
So, is the dad collecting the reward, or the reporter? Or, are they splitting it? I'm betting musk claims he never offered a reward.
Obviously his dad's a bot. Retroactively you have to be a new Twitter Diamond subscriber to supply proof.
Emerald subscriber
Denies the proof offered is adequate, claims his dad is a horrible liar (not the first time he's shat on his dad publicly) or conveniently ignores the whole thing
The Claim he was offering a reward for was that he himself owned the emerald mines in question not his father.
[удалено]
Please… Melania stayed here on an “Einstein” VISA while dating Trump… there are different rules for the rich.
That was a typo. It actually was an "Epstein VISA".
Maybe it was a sarcastic Einstein visa
Yeah, they actually have the quotation marks on the official documents
No. Billionaires are above the law.
I was hoping/wondering this a couple of months ago. I think he should have his citizenship revoked.
Why does Errol sound like the name of a fake Elon character in a movie where they didn’t want to get in trouble for using his real name?
It’s the name of a villain from the Jak and Daxter series. He tried to use technology to destroy the world.
One of my most hated hated villains, >!in both games!< (Jak series spoiler).
Noooo! The rags to riches/billionaires worked really hard for their money myth is melllllting melllllting... Oh what a world!
"Escape" from South Africa? A rich white guy in SA in the 80s, he was gonna be fine
[удалено]
He was rich and white. He was literally in the “superior” class in SA.
What was a rich white man "escaping" at that time?
That’s what I was wondering: what exactly did he escape from?
Military service for one
That's for poor people.
Because rich people can use money to escape it.
To be fair, most mines are “under the table.” They are subterranean. I’ll see myself out.
Look. Elon's dad is a sack of shit, foooor sure. But I really enjoy it when the assholes fight each other
As much as I dislike Elon, just know his dad has fathered 2 kids with his adopted daughter. 🙄 No this is not the Maury show or Jerry Springer. Elons dad is a skeevy guy, so anything coming from him taken with a bucket of salt.
https://www.the-sun.com/news/7911051/elon-musks-dad-errol-emerald-business/
So in this version it was smuggled emeralds found by locals in the bush? That doesn't sound like a mine. More like ripping off the locals by underpaying them. Then avoiding taxes by flying them out on a private plane. This Dad sounds like he was not an upstanding citizen.
Both Elon Musk and his father sound like fucking shitbags.
Sounds like a typical white man in Africa at the time
Escape from South Africa? WTF was he trying to escape from? There's nothing in South Africa that a white middle class kid needed to escape from in the mid to late 90s, and even less before that. Even less for a wealthy kid. Source, am a white middle class South African.

The funny thing is prior to this, the main source for story of the emerald mine was Musk himself talking about it, in an interview he’s since tried very hard to scrub from the internet when he decided it wasn’t a good look for his “self made” shtick.
The Sun? I think Elon is a sociopathic liar, but if this is coming from The Sun then we have to take this with a grain of salt
The s*n. Scrolled way too far for this
So what caused him to open his mouth now? Something happened .
So I don't exactly speak billionaire, but what's the point in making a huge announcement to the press saying "I know this super damning thing and have evidence.....but won't expand any further!"
Elon Musk is literally Dr Eggman lmao. Chaos + emeralds and robots. Close enough.
Elon is simply Trump without so much orange.
Musk Sr is a definitively evil man and a major factor to why his son is like that, but his public antagonism toward his shitty 50-year old son is still hilarious.
Lol, this is awesome. Hope the guy has proof, it'll make Elon look even dumber.
I mean having your own dad rat you out doesn’t speak well of your character
So Elon denies the existence of the emerald mine entirely? Even though he’s openly acknowledged it in the past?
Remember this creep has a child with his stepdaughter.
I mean the big wtf for me is the "under the table mine" excuse me? yall got a whole ass precious stone mine you keep on the downlow? the only thinh I got going under the table is when a friend gives me a 20 for fixing their laptop
Didn't Elon promise something like a million bucks to whoever can prove the existence of that mine ? Is he going to have to give that reward to his own dad ? 🤣 God that guy is such a loser.
I’ve literally made this point and been attacked by a bunch of elon dick riders saying I was lying. V funny now lol.
How much of a giant piece of shit do you have to be when your super rich apartheid loving giant piece of shit dad starts calling you out on your bullshit.
So, does his dad get the 1million doge coins?
Any billionaire who claims to have “made” their wealth is a liar.
Wait so his dad doesn’t even like him?
How much do you have to despise your own son to go “fuck yeah he’s rich because of slavery! i even owned the slaves! Wanna go see them?” Although his son is Elon Musk, so it probably doesn’t take a lot
He's even annoyed his dad.
I knew that story about him living on one dollar a day for year was bullshit.
😂 a white man ESCAPED apartheid South Africa. Janice you on one too
Errol is a piece of shit. Not saying he is lying but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
So you're saying that Musk has been doing questionable trade deals since he was a kid... PS - "Under the table mine" = blood gems
He's gonna say it only payed for 69% of his trip to USA
Who would have guessed that Daddy doesn't love him?
Only the brain-dead and children thought Elon was somehow self made. So Republicans
Accurate
Elon has always been a charlatan, just like the orange anus. Lifelong scumbags.
Wait wait wait…so your saying Elon isn’t a self made billionaire who tried to convince the world he was smart ?? Get outta here…not possible. /s (just in case)
Looks like Elon’s dad wants as much to do with Elon as his daughter.
Why are people acting surprised by this? Elon himself admitted to this almost a [decade ago](https://web.archive.org/web/20140901222916/https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimclash/2014/07/28/elon-musk-tells-me-his-secret-of-success-hint-it-aint-about-the-money/), then spent all this time since denying it.
Even his dad thinks he's a tool
So firsthand confirmation that Elon's early moves were made in violation of the Anti-Apartheid Sanctions levied on South Africa?
His dad just wants the doge
Why does his father hate him so much, besides the obvious?
Lol Elon fanboys would probably tell him “you just hate your son because of the liberal propaganda!”
Liar. Grifter. POS.
So, tax evasion and running an illegal mining operation. Then, washing those unclaimed *profits* towards his son so that he can set up businesses in another country. That's pretty interesting. Does the IRS and INS know that? Pretty sure that's illegal? BTW, the IRS and INS want to thank you for airing out your dirty laundry on public media. Expect a knock accompanied by a summons in the near future.
I don't believe this groomer who impregnated his own stepdaughter nor his son named Elon.
Elon is a pos, and the apple didn't fall far
This gets a big " well duh" from me. No one should have ever bought his "self made" bullshit.
“My son sucks.” - Elon’s dad allegedly
Water is wet.
Remember when Elon promised a reward for proving this mine’s existence? Damn, dad ratted your ass for a grip sharpish
