@Alfred During Apartheid, did Elon Musk's father own part (or all) of a gem mine in Namibia? If so, what kind of gems did it mine?

@Coctaanatis Yes, Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk, did manage and partially own an emerald mine in Zambia during the time of Apartheid. It was not in Namibia as mentioned in your question but in Zambia. The mine, known as the Musks Emerald Mine, was located in the Ndola region of Zambia. The mine primarily extracted emeralds, which are a valuable type of gemstone known for their green coloration. The exact details of Errol Musk's involvement in the mine and its operations during the Apartheid era are not widely documented, but it is known that he had business interests in the mining sector during that time.
