This is Elon Musk putting "his" people at the head of the line, against refugees fleeing violence and certain murder if they go back.
I can't deny that the Afrikaaners who ended up on the wrong side of a lot of necessary reforms in South Africa are living in terrible conditions--in squats, in makeshift shacks in parks, about what you'd see in any big US city. The difference between their poverty and poverty in Haiti or El Salvador is a relative lack of organized murder.
Musk could well afford to build housing in South Africa for "his" people and to provide the kind of seed money it takes to start small buisinesses to support them. He won't. Men like him don't share, no even with "their" people.
So good for the Episcopalians, just another reason to feel good about all the Catholic believers disgusted by Rome that I've sent to them over the years.
