It's really hard not to draw parallels between Musk's attitude to protesters and the attitude so many white South Africans had to protesting black (and progressive white) people in the 70s and 80s -- just replace "left-wing" with "communist" and you're there. Maybe he grew up seeing the cops beating the shit out of people for protesting on the TV news so often that he thinks that's the norm.

as a ZAian I can tell you it's really just because he's a piece of shit. thousands of the other people in his age bracket didn't turn out like this. not to say we don't still have some people clinging on to their racism, we definitely do, but yeah.
