Elon Musk brutally snubs his British cousin in shocking text message

In recent months, a disconnect has emerged between Elon Musk and his British family, highlighting differing opinions and a lack of communication. Marshall Robinson, an 86-year-old cousin located in Fleetwood, expressed his disappointment with Musk, stating that he finds his actions shocking, particularly for his ties to former President Donald Trump. Despite Musk's fame and wealth, his British relatives feel ignored, with Robinson mentioning an instance where a family member reached out via social media only to receive a curt response from Musk: 'What do you want?' This lack of responsiveness has contributed to feelings of estrangement among family members. Robinson is one of four children born to Kenneth Robinson, who is Musk's uncle. The British side of the family includes several relatives who have tried to make connections with Musk over the years. While Robinson has never directly reached out to Musk himself, he recalled that once a family member had attempted contact but could not establish a meaningful dialogue with the billionaire. The family's sentiment of being 'poor relations' is echoed by Robinson's sister, Shane, who discovered the family connection to Musk while researching their genealogy. Shane also reflected on previous opportunities to connect with Musk's brother, Kimbal, but emphasized that she had not pursued contact with Elon Musk out of a sense of reluctance, feeling that it would not lead to a significant relationship. Recently, Marshall Robinson's concerns have become more pronounced as Musk has garnered attention for his political comments and stances, particularly regarding UK politics. The relatives perceive this increased visibility as detached from their everyday lives and their familial bond. The difference between the lifestyles of Musk and his British relatives is stark; while Musk enjoys immense wealth and global recognition as the world's richest man, his cousins in the UK live ordinary lives, feeling distanced from such a prominent figure. Robinson's criticisms reflect a broader disappointment among the family regarding Musk’s behavior and attitude towards them, suggesting that the billionaire may be out of touch with his roots and family connections. The episode serves as a reminder of how wealth and status can create divides, even within families.
