    Always amazes me when children of extreme abuse and trauma grow up to be as kind and articulate as these guys.
  • Its good to see someone who survived bullying. Ive been through bullying
  • @victrola2007
    Even in school Elon was resented for being smart. I recall learning about him thrown down the stairs, left shattered, teeth knocked out. He dragged himself up and repeated correct answers with a "fuck you" attitude. I have such enormous respect for these brothers.
  • @futurekron
    What a thoughtful man. This makes me look at his brother in a different way.
  • @StarAndAshley
    I pray both of these men's hearts will be completely healed.
  • I grew up in the same city and circumstances as these brothers... Oh god.!... It was sickening! Thank God I survived
  • @JustinSeara
    So wild what people have had to live through, just because of where they were born.
  • @souljourney60
    Healing from CPTSD from a parental relationship is not an easy feat, but a very necessary thing so you don't carry that generational trauma to the next generation. Kudos to them both for choosing themselves and supporting each other so they didn't have to go back.
  • @missmarbless2778
    It's a trip how similar him and Elon are. Their mannerisms and how they speak, it's similar to twins. It's fascinating!
  • @stefanie444
    Im glad he talks about how violent verbal and psychological abuse can be. Unless you know urself, it might b hard for some to imagine
  • That was South Africa in the 80’s….imagine what it is like now here in South Africa.
  • @MrGirschwynn
    Still, the same level of violence in South Africa is hard to explain.
  • As someone who has Asperger’s and grew up getting mercilessly bullied, Elon Musk is a huge inspiration to me. God Bless that man.
  • @alexsummerRain
    I just did the exact oppsite of my parents for my family. And i physically protected my siblings, i made a decision to jump inbetween my abuser and them. I will nevet regret that.
  • @user-wc2xp8mo9e
    WOW 😯 this is crazy.... The way he speaks, such as taking pauses between his words. His mannerisms, his facial movements, his expressions, it is exactly Elon.
  • @felixthecat2786
    Poor man, I can relate to him about the chaotic attachment. I had a similar childhood. My dad was not a physically violent man, but would torment us with hours and hours of verbal abuse.
  • @JJ-APF
    Emotional & psychological abuse lasts longer and has a much deeper effect than physical abuse/violence.
  • @angus6032
    Healing from CPTSD from a parental relationship is incredibly hard, especially when your siblings, who were used as pawns alongside the parent, go in the other direction. I had to sever all ties with the parent and the siblings who refuse to acknowledge and move on. I am so glad the two brothers have and support each other.
  • To me what is aweful? is not knowing if you tried or not helping your brother. I got jumped by 3 men and my younger brother, he was 15 at the time was by my side out of nowhere hitting ang getting hit. That's when i felt fear, really felt the fear. How am i going to face my parents if something happened to their younges child? That gave me the extra OOOmp and finished the fight with the heavy and thick ashstray over their heads and got my brother home to my parents house safe.
