Elon Musk's 'poor' UK relatives claim he snubbed them with four brutal words

Relatives of Elon Musk, the world's richest man, have revealed they response they got when they reached out to their richer relative. A woman researcing her family tree was surprised to learn she was related to the worlds richest man. Marshall Robinson and his sister Shane live in a fishing port in Lanchashire. It now turns out that they are second cousins of Elon Musk. Marshall, 86, said: "I have never been in touch but one of the family did send him a social media message and he just said: 'What do you want?' That was it."  Musk has spoken fondly in the past of his grandmother Cora Amelia Robinson, who was born in Mossley Hill, Liverpool, in August 1923. She married Walter Musk in 1944 and moved to South Africa where they had a son, Elons father Errol, who himself went on to have Elon, his brother Kimbal, and sister Tosca. Marshall, who now lives in Fleetwood, shares great-grandparents with Elon, as his grandfather is Coras brother Kenneth Robinson. He told the Daily Mail: "Ive never met Elon. I met his father in South Africa when I was in the merchant navy a long time ago." "Im shocked that Ive now got a link to the White House. I obviously knew we were related because of the name Musk which is Scottish." But he didnt have the warmest of words for Elin Musk He said: "I think hes stupid with all the things he comes out with." His sister Shane said she wouldnt go so far as to say Musk had shunned them, but "he hasnt shown any interest in us from what I know." She decided against getting in touch herself as she thought he would not want to hear from his "poor relations". Although she has not met Elon either, she did meet her great-aunt Cora on a visit to the UK 20 years ago, who was with Elons brother at the time.The post Elon Musk's 'poor' UK relatives claim he snubbed them with four brutal words appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
