@shannonsharpeee They dropped that “Stop Asian Hate” bill almost immediately after a white man killed 6 Asian women. Black folks didn’t go against it. We asked where’s that for black people? After ALL that we continue to see. Still nothing.
Elon, here's what you're missing or ignoring.
You call South Africa's DEI and Black Economic Empowerment laws "extremely racist." But you leave out a few critical facts.
1. Apartheid wasn't a neutral policy it was state-enforced racism.
For decades, the white minority (including your family) controlled over 80% of the land and nearly all the wealth. Black South Africans were forcibly removed from their homes, denied citizenship in their own country, and exploited for cheap labor. That's not ancient history it ended just 30 years ago.
2. Your own family directly benefited from that system.
You were born in Pretoria in 1971, at the height of apartheid. Your father, Errol Musk, has openly said apartheid was not racist and that Black people "shouldn't complain because they were fed." He has never condemned the regime he admired it.
3. Your grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, was a pro-Nazi activist.
He was arrested in Canada for supporting Hitler, then moved the family to South Africa precisely because apartheid offered a place where his racial ideology was welcomed. That's not speculation it's documented history.
4. Corrective policies like BEE are not "anti-white."
They are a modest attempt to return a fraction of what was stolen. Even today, white South Africans about 7-8% of the population still own the majority of private farmland and control most of the economy. Without these adjustments, the Black majority would be permanently locked out of their own land.
5. Here's the irony you refuse to see.
In a Black-majority country like South Africa, real DEI principles would actually protect the white minority from being overrun by majority rule. By calling these laws "racist" and pushing to remove them, you are arguing for a system where the Black majority could claim everything land, economy, rights with no guardrails.
That would be far more dangerous for white South Africans than BEE ever will be.
You left South Africa, became an American citizen, and now you lecture South Africans on fairness while your family's legacy is soaked in the very racism you claim to oppose.
If you truly believe in equal treatment for all races, start by acknowledging the history that made these laws necessary. And maybe have a conversation with your father about why he still defends apartheid.
🚨Mali 🇲🇱 now has its own solar panel manufacturing plant. She is 100% owned by Malians. Well done 🎈 and congratulations to our Malian family for this phenomenal achievement.
This is the Africa we want to see. Thank you.
DEAN: “What’s the tariff on bananas?”
LUTNICK: “10%.”
DEAN: “Walmart already raised banana prices by 8%.”
LUTNICK: “Well, if you build in America, there’s no tariff.”
DEAN: “You can’t build bananas in America.”
This Dude is Michael Langley a black American commander for Africom. When white imperialists want to eliminate African leaders they use a black face. This man want Ibrahim Traore, great African leader killed. Let us expose this black American lier.
The United States, through AFRICOM, has accused Captain Ibrahim Traoré of using Burkina Faso's gold reserves for personal protection rather than the welfare of its people. This accusation, presented during a U.S. Senate hearing, is a blatant attempt to undermine Burkina Faso's sovereignty and control over its natural resources due to their imperialist greed.
We, condemn the West's continued interference in African nations affairs and their attempts to control our resources. The EFF supports Captain Traoré's efforts to reclaim Burkina Faso's gold for the benefit of its people and to resist neo-colonial pressures.
