    Afrikaner American.

    Or South African American nowadays.

    African American is used by those who don't know where in Africa their descendants came from. Or many time who those descendants are.

    Elon came from privilege and knows his roots.

    The general thought is that @ElonJet will be the big loser. Musk started buying up Twitter stock after the kid rejected his offer to stop posting tracking data on Musk's private plane. I guess we'll see if Musk really believes in free speech.

    I hope you're not talking about me? I'm Canadian. One could argue Elon is also part Canadian (by his mother).

    And to be crystal clear (bc internet) I understand the usage, I was making a joke in response to a previous post about leftist outrage at Elon taking over.

    Agreed. This will be a true test of his limits of free speech. If he tries to use some excuse such as safety or privacy to silence this account, then it will clearly show that he is no different than the original Twitter moderators. He just has a different set of rules for what is right and wrong.

    Musk spending all those money just for that one kid? If he's really bothered by that kid's tracking, he can easily go to court to get an injunction. No, he took over Twitter because he really thinks he can manage it better.

    I thought "African American" is just the politically correct term for Blacks in America cuz you are not supposed to refer to somebody by the colour of their skin.
