Elon Musk Accuses South Africa of Promoting 'White Genocide'

Elon Musk has intensified his accusations against South Africa, claiming that the government promotes a 'white genocide' and criticizing the media for not covering this narrative. His comments came after a political rally where EFF leader Julius Malema sang an apartheid-era song associated with anti-white sentiment. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa responded by denouncing Musk's claims as a 'completely false narrative' and urging national unity amidst outside misinformation. Musk also alleged that his Starlink satellite service was denied a license in South Africa due to racial discrimination, a claim that has been contested by authorities. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions regarding land expropriation laws in South Africa, which Musk and some U.S. politicians argue disproportionately target white farmers. Musk's statements have sparked mixed reactions, with many questioning the existence of such a genocide in the country.
