@moonfurther@mayemusk So, although Elon Musk is also a Canadian and American citizen, people commonly describe him as South African-born because that is where he was born and grew up. It doesn't necessarily mean he currently identifies only as South African or holds only South African citizenship.
@moonfurther@mayemusk Born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria.
He spent his childhood and teenage years in South Africa.
At age 17, he moved to Canada, where he obtained Canadian citizenship through his mother.
Later, he moved to the United States and became a U.S. citizen.
