You will never in your lifetime find an article at news24 that exposes ANC finances.

We will all die until that day.

I cancelled my News24 subscription and I advise anyone who loves this country to do the same.

BREAKING | News24 Exclusive: Investigation reveals an organisation with employees pays its staff.

[Bronx @Bronx_wrangler]

I had such a good laugh at some of the comments.

It seems @News24 won’t have many subscribers left soon.

Dankie @afriforum

What a coincidence. So on the day her resignation letter is leaked to News24, your views SUDDENLY change.
I wonder though, will you apologise for your unfair statement towards the commissioners? You accused them of treating her like she was a criminal.

[Van @SupaVanSA]

I just wanna send out a huge CONGRATULATIONS 🎉to @AdriaanBasson for steering the @News24 team to a massive R 263 million loss this year.

Well done you epic - and I mean EPIC - failure of a human being!🍾

Akademia is wêreldklas in Afrikaans. Studente is gesog omdat hulle goed opgelei is en met waardes toegerus word wat voorwaardes is vir sukses in die werkplek.

Hulle is juis suksesvol in Suid-Afrika en die wêreld agv van Akademia.

Ander opleidingsinstellings het wegbeweeg van waardes wat studente suksesvol maak. Hulle word dan geïsoleer van dit wat die ekonomie van werknemers verwag.

Sol-Tech is ‘n ander voorbeeld. Werkgewers staan in rye om Sol-Tech-studente in diens te neem. Hulle is goed opgelei en werk hard.

Die studente word by ons instellings toegerus om deel te neem en suksesvol te wees.

This is how absurd the world has become
The people who spent years demanding we fix vehicle emissions are mad at the man who fixed them. The people who claim to fight for workers are mad that he made thousands of them millionaires. The people who never created a single job are telling the man who employs hundreds of thousands how to spend his money.

Socialism: You have two cows. Give one cow to your neighbor.

Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some milk.

Fascism: You have two cows. You give all of the milk to the government, and the government sells it.

Nazism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes both cows.

Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow.

Capitalism: You have two cows. Sell one, buy a bull.

The moment someone tells you Elon Musk should solve world poverty with his wealth, you're listening to someone who fundamentally misunderstands both wealth and poverty. Musk's billions exist almost entirely as Tesla and SpaceX stock, not cash sitting in a vault waiting to be redistributed.

The real issue runs deeper than liquidity. Poverty is fundamentally a productivity problem, not a resource shortage. If throwing money at poverty solved it, the $4.3 trillion the US government has spent on welfare programs since 1965 would have eliminated American poverty decades ago. Instead, the poverty rate has remained virtually unchanged since the War on Poverty began.

You can't redistribute your way out of poverty because wealth isn't a fixed pie that rich people hoard. Musk created his fortune by building companies that produce electric vehicles, rockets, and satellite internet. His wealth represents the market's valuation of those productive assets. When politicians demand he liquidate those holdings to fund welfare programs, they're demanding he destroy the very capital that generates ongoing prosperity.

The countries with the lowest poverty rates didn't achieve that through foreign aid or wealth transfers. South Korea went from Third World to First World status in two generations through property rights, free markets, and rule of law. Meanwhile, sub-Saharan Africa has received over $1 trillion in foreign aid since 1960 and remains impoverished. Poverty reduction requires institutions that enable production, not redistribution schemes.

Real poverty reduction happens when entrepreneurs like Musk build productive enterprises that create jobs, generate tax revenue, and drive down costs through innovation. But that requires you to understand that capitalism creates wealth rather than just moving it around.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

Elon is not the problem, politicians are.

[Elmarie Venter @AtElmarie]

@RightScopee No - we need more of this kind of entrepreneurial skills to generate more jobs and wealth.

[Alix @AlixG_2]

I don't understand how you're pissed with Elon Musk getting rich with his own money but not pissed at your politicians getting rich with yours.

[One Nation SA - Corruption Buster @OneNation70290]

the ANC should have embraced Elon Musk as a South African and capitalized on his genius 🤔
We should have had Tesla and Space X factories.
Instead the ANC shunned him because he wouldn't give ANC fat cats a 30% share in his business
