ELON MUSK REPRESENTS MOST WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS

Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk, recently disclosed that his ex-wife Maye's father, Joshua N Haldeman, moved from Canada to South Africa in support of the apartheid regime that came to power in 1948. Musk's maternal grandfather's political writings claimed that Black South Africans’ then-accounts of mistreatment were part of a tactic to brainwash the public. He asserted, ‘The white man has always developed the country he inhabits to the benefit of all.’

In this video, @fe.roch.ious, a white South African, explains that following Musk's appointment as a ‘special government employee’ to the White House and his subsequent controversial actions and rhetoric, many people—predominantly white South Africans—hesitate to publicly acknowledge that Musk represents the majority of white South Africans, many of whom hold prejudice against non-white people. 

Recently, Musk shared a post highlighting the supposed ‘benefits’ of the British Empire, stating, ‘Not many people these days know that the British Empire was the driving force behind ending the vast majority of global slavery.’

Musk also sparked controversy at a rally after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump on 20 January, when he performed what appeared to many as a N*zi salute. He later turned the controversy surrounding his gesture into a joke on X.
