X, formerly known as Twitter, remains intermittently down in Pakistan after it was restored on Monday after an over 36-hour blockade since Saturday (February 17).
Ahmed said those embroiled in rigging were playing with the national integrity. Suspension of internet services established that the polls were not transparent, he said adding, that the authorities were scared after allowing rigging, therefore social media platforms were shut down.
“To some extent, the Rawalpindi commissioner relayed details about the irregularities in elections. When JI Karachi chief Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman announced to hold a protest, you made him win from a constituency where he was the runner-up,” he said.
Elon Musk’s life as a kid was not a joke, according to his father, who disclosed that the tech entrepreneur was once threatened with a knife by a “scumbag coworker” while working as a waiter at a restaurant in Canada.
The Tesla CEO’s father, Errol, 77, told The US Sun: “Elon called me once after a scumbag pulled a knife on him.” “He handled it.”
He stated that when Elon was working as a waiter at a restaurant in Richmond, near Vancouver, he called his father and informed him that one of the other waiters “started picking on him” while he was working.
“He told the man to stop but the man escalated the issue,” Errol went on to say.

“They finally faced one other, and the man took out a knife. Elon quickly overcame him and seized the knife. He was only 18 at the time. It was a bit scary for me here in South Africa because I couldn’t help him, but Elon told not to worry.”
Errol, an electromechanical engineer, also described how a jealous husband held him at gunpoint in his home as Elon, now 52, and his brothers ate dinner.
“We were doing an advert, me and her,” Errol revealed. “The husband came to our house while Elon, Kimbal, and Tosca were eating dinner, brandishing a large silver revolver.” I calmed him down and explained that she was simply trying to make him envious.
“Later on, he shot himself.”
Errol has also had multiple encounters with the darker side of life, like the time he fatally shot three intruders at a Johannesburg house he owned. At the same time, his tiny daughter Alexandra clutched his leg.
Walter Isaacson, the author of Elon Musk’s biography, stated that the tech tycoon and his brother Kimbal experienced violence as children in apartheid-era South Africa.
He said that the siblings once had to “wade through a pool of blood next to a dead person with a knife sticking out of his brain” while getting off a train to attend an anti-apartheid music festival.
Elon immigrated to his mother’s native country of Canada from South Africa in 1989, first settling in Montreal before migrating to Vancouver and working on farms and lumber mills.
In 1990, he enrolled at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, before moving to the University of Pennsylvania two years later.
While telling wild stories from his colorful past, Errol commented, “Unpleasant but typical South Africa.”
He went on to say, “I’ve carried a 357 next to me and when I sleep for 35 to 40 years now.”
