Among a lot of online discussion, it was Elon Musk who become a subject of a hot debate. The tech titan with the bold business acumen and habit of talking not just with but also through social media received an unexpectedly rude reception from a number of twitter folk after he released a tweet which generated negative emotions.
Musk is an immigrant and thus a part of this statistic. He was informed about this in reply to his tweet that went like, “Dude, one thing that most people in that immigration statistic don’t know is that you are an immigrant and you have 11 children, which makes you a self-own.”
The result of this is the emergence of the duality of Musk that he is a man who is both a vociferous proponent of the policies that are discussed and the embodiment of the very statistics that he often discusses.
Being South Africa-born, this story is a symbol of South African’s immigrant seeking American dream, leading to him being one of the most entrepreneurs world iconic.
This experience spurs the consideration of the more unfolding layers of identity and the times when these intricacies in the immigration disputation may get sidelined. This demonstrates that evolution is not just a process where people improve everything with innovations; the innovators are still humans, who cannot escape the assessment of their past and the implications for their heritage.
A sample with Musk is a vivid illustration of the multipurpose character of public figures as well as complicated web of their personal history that invariably adds up to their public stories.
