She's rich. And she's white.

She's not going to be charged.

She's Elon Musk's mother and a republican, her sense of constantly feeling like a victum is punishment in itself

Here's a fun article about how different people are treated differently for the same crime. You gotta love the good ol' U.S. of A.

White Trump voters get probation for intentional election fraud while Black women get years in prison for being given bad information by the State.

She eventually got acquitted

The whole story is fucking bonkers though. She did everything right while being uncertain and it's insane she got punished for it.

I think we all know what would have happened to her if it didn't make the news

She's everything I expect from a white South African who became incredibly rich from owning a emerald mine.

Please don't think all white South Africans are like Elon.

Pre-94 notwithstanding.

— sincerely, a broke white South African

If you owned a mine, I can't promise I wont attach some assumptions about you.

She’s also Canadian. So even worse.
