Musk, Trump Accuse South Africa of White Genocide Amid Land Reform Debates

Elon Musk has accused South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) of promoting 'white genocide' following a rally where the party sang the controversial chant 'Kill the Boer.' His comments, made on social media, drew attention to the South African government's recent Expropriation Act, which allows land expropriation without compensation, a move Musk claims discriminates against white citizens. Musk questioned the lack of media coverage regarding these issues and referenced his own difficulties in securing a Starlink operating license in South Africa, suggesting racial bias. In response, the EFF defended their actions as part of their historical context against apartheid, while critics, including South African courts, have dismissed claims of white genocide as unfounded. Trump's support for Musk's statements has further inflamed discussions on racial tensions and land reform in South Africa. Despite Musk's allegations, judicial rulings have consistently rejected narratives of widespread racial persecution against white people in the country.
