I'm curious why you keep saying we here. A private company run by a South African does not represent the American people. Certainly no one should be foolish enough to think he has the interest of the American people in mind. So I'd appreciate you stop saying we. I don't view him as someone working for my good. I view him as a parasite to my country.

He's an American citizen, and Starlink is an American company.

While he grew up in SA, he has no loyalty to South Africa either. We don't want him nor be associated with him

Well tough titties he's yours and I think you should take him back.

To paraphrase badly: "You can take the boy out of Afrikaners, but you can't take Afrikaners out of the boy"

He is not an Afrikaner - as the child of immigrants he went to English schools, and has nothing to do with Afrikaans.

Your prejudice makes you dishonest.
