Mmusi Maimane asks Elon Musk to help fix education sector in SA

The richest person on the planet, Elon Musk, recently shared a tweet asking for critical feedback and ways to donate his money. Former DA leader Mmusi Maimane jumped into his replies asking for help. 

Maimane stated that he has ideas about fixing the education sector in South Africa, adding that he would love to present something to Musk. SAns quickly responded to Mmusi in a few negative ways that seemed to have upset the politician.

Take a look at Musk's tweet and Mmusi's response below: 

Hi Elon where can South Africans with disruptive ideas about fixing the country make proposals.

I for one have some ideas about how to fix the education sector in this country outside of the clutches of a corrupt government and I would love to present something to you.

I think you should start that query on google. Suffice it to say that Tesla was a disruptive idea that became a disruptive company, so was PayPal.

Below are some of the negative responses Mmusi clapped back at Negativity will kill people. It’s been thirty minutes. It’s a tweet with lots of engagement.

Take that energy somewhere else. Sometimes you do something that is a long shot and it helps save a nation.

If that opportunity appears, you have to take the shot.

Why would I embrace a negative mindset. Elon strikes me as a man who will keep making rockets even when the industry experts say it’s impossible.

What I get from that is he likes difficult tasks that have not been accomplished before. So do I.
