Times have changed indeed!
There are a lot of similarities in some of our experiences - singing our national anthem in school, air travel was only for the wealthy, trusting anyone in authority, etc.
And...something you did not know, Elon Musk was born and raised in South Africa but left for the US not only for better opportunities but also because he refused to do compulsory military service under the Apartheid regime, something all white boys leaving school had to do. Arthur fortunately escaped because of his diabetes, but all my brothers had to do it. It only ended in 1994! Some boys who were conscientious objectors refused, escaped like Elon or stayed and were given a jail sentence!
It's awful thinking back on what the government did back then!
