    When we grew up everyone was really poor. Our butler was poor, our gardeners were poor, our maids were poor, our cooks were poor, etc. But at least in exchange for their passports my parents gave them a job opportunity. They even had a few bucks left after their rent was subtracted from their salery, so they even could buy some food. Even their partners and children helped with all the chores. My family provided for a whole community this way. And before you call us racist, they were all black (except for my dad’s private maids who Epstein helped getting a job). I don’t understand why people hate me so much. I did nothing wrong. I even offer very young influences to bear my children, I provide a wide community. Plus I cut federal budgets so I can get us faster to Mars, because that’s not cheap you know. And who doesn’t want to go to mars? So far it only costed 7 billion tax dollars to send a banana to near orbit, imagine what we could do when we cut social security checks and health care.

    The original quote:

    In an email to The Post, his father, Errol, said Musk and his younger brother were “interested in motorbikes, computers, basketball and a little about girls. They were not into political nonsense, and we lived in a very well-run, law-abiding country with virtually no crime at all. Actually no crime. We had several black servants who were their friends.”

    Lucille Bluth says she’s friends with her Hispanic servant, “even though she’s an illegal”.
