@afroghanga@PaulTapfuma@FaraiMazhindu So the free connection to 5000 rural schools was not in the best interest of South Africans? And country-wide connectivity?
@afroghanga@PaulTapfuma@FaraiMazhindu This has nothing to do with TikTok. Elon didn’t force them to do that. America did, and that doesn’t make it right. And we aren’t whining, it’s called a debate.
@afroghanga@PaulTapfuma@FaraiMazhindu Again. It’s not about your feelings. It would have benefited the country tremendously. And USA and Iran are having a war, you’re trying to compare a war where people are dying to words out of Elon’s mouth. Be serious
5000 rural schools without WiFi would have gotten Starlink for free. For free. Anywhere in the country would have access to internet. ANYWHERE, no more spots without signal or poor signal, which is pretty much everywhere. Whether Elon wants to or not, it would have changed lives. 5000 schools bro
@afroghanga@FaraiMazhindu He didn’t call you a genocidal maniac. He called Julius Malema a genocidal maniac. And this is a bigger picture situation. This could have benefited our country so much, genuinely could have changed it. And he doesn’t ‘hate’ you, he doesn’t even know who you are.
Elon Musk single-handedly shattered the global silence on South Africa's institutionalised extortion.
Without him, the world would still be blind to a state-sanctioned shakedown disguised as "compliance."
Investors are forced to surrender equity to a handpicked pool of ANC cadres and cronies just to operate.
Wealth creation is held hostage by political gatekeepers. They rebranded systemic corporate theft as policy.
Every major business has been extorted, they did not invest in the economy, but rather paid off the ruling elite to buy peace and the green light to operate.
You either cut the cadres in, or you get locked out.
It is a parasitic framework where corrupt politicians contribute absolutely zero to the economy, yet take the biggest cut.
@afroghanga@FaraiMazhindu Julius dawg come on. We as South Africa missed out on a massive opportunity to connect the whole country at a much lower cost because our politicians wanted to fill their pockets. Lock in bro.
