    So did Elon’s parents, or was it his grandparents… so did Clarence Thomas or was it his idol, I forget. There’s too many villans to keep track of now. We need to cull some.

      It was Clarence Thomas himself, he worked with pro apartied South African Lobbyists during the Reagan era and with their lobby, The Lincoln Review:

      As for Musk, let’s just say it was all of them.

          I only know what I know from the Behind the Bastards episodes about him, and it’s kinda difficult to summarize:
