President Obama identifies himself as a black man. I can't find the exact quote, but he once described himself as "a black man of mixed background". Another time he said “If I’m outside your building trying to catch a cab, they’re not saying, ‘Oh, there’s a mixed-race guy.’” The point is part of the reason he probably identifies as black is because that is how other people see him. Most people think in terms of simple race categories. (I myself am of mixed-race and I know it is a pain to have to explain this, often multiple times to the same people.)
If you look up the definition of abnormal in a dictionary, such as this one or this one. You get definitions like: ": different from what is normal or average : unusual especially in a way that causes problems" or "Not typical, usual, or regular; not normal; deviant. odd in behaviour or appearance; strange". So even if the word has a sense as you indicate, other senses of the word are pejorative.

Definitely not the standard definition of "occupied".
The grandparent is wrong about all three. They are probably facetiously referring to the American military bases located in these countries.
It is true that other people invented the first light bulb, but the arc lamp was not a light bulb.
I don't think a publicist would help unless they could get Thiel to change his behavior. The fact is that Musk is getting stuff done while Thiel seems to mostly complain about other people not getting stuff done.
