Musk, 51, has the upper hand on Zuckerberg in terms of sheer physical size, and he has talked about being in “real hard-core street fights” when he was growing up in South Africa

Of course he has melon-musk

God we live in such a fucking absurd timeline, and we know it’s only going to get less sensible

    Public schools in South Africa are actually the cheaper "government run" ones, some are even free. Their are plenty of private schools here with more expensive school fees than Pretoria Boys High.

    Pretoria Boys High charges such high fees because it's a public school trying to compete with the super expensive private schools around the country. They don't want to lose their public school status, so they can't go private. I think they have partnerships with Eton and Oxford in England as well lmao.

        Yeah I know, that's why I gave my whole convoluted explanation about how the schooling system works in South Africa. Which is also crazy because a select few public government schools, usually ex model c schools (a term for a school that was whites only during apartheid) can charge super high fees to compete with the private non government ones with facilities and so forth. Like the one Elon went to. I think that one has like 15 sports fields or something lmao.

            Yeah it's like 5am here. I'm just glad I'll never have to go back to school, which is weird to think about as I graduated high school 5+ years ago.

                    My highschool experience was so shit, so I desperately need that. Don't send your kids to all boys or all girls boarding schools, even if it's free because of a scholarship folks. Worst mistake of my life.
