Elon Musk, the South African-born tech billionaire, has once again criticised
Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
Musk was responding to a post by "EndWokeness" X, featuring a compilation of edited clips advocating for violence against white individuals."Julius Malema has repeatedly called for the genocide of the 4 million whites living in South Africa. Malema could very possibly be elected as Prime Minister in a few months. Zero international outrage," EndWokeness posted.
Musk counterattacked by delivering another criticism aimed at Malema.
"The likely future leader of South Africa calls for genocide of the 4 million whites who live there," he wrote.
However,
Musk faced backlash for his contradictory statement from Jackson Hinkle, a vocal critic of Israel's conflict in Gaza."Julius Malema is not calling for a genocide, and he vehemently opposes the Gaza genocide that you support. Maybe that's why you're attacking him?" he shared on X, the platform Musk owns," Hinkle wrote.
Comment: Whilst Musk's public front with regards to Israel's genocide in Gaza appears to have changed for the worse, it's notable that X is not involved in any extreme censorship, and, it's in part because of X that the damning videos and discussion of Israel's crimes against humanity are having the impact they are.
It's also well known that those working to further Israel's apocalypse are extremely powerful - even Kennedy is suspiciously obtuse on the genocide issue - and this may also explain Musk's seemingly uncharacteristic stance.
With regards to South Africa, there is sufficient evidence showing that there certainly is a political contingent in the country that is involved in violent rhetoric against whites, and the horrifically violent crimes against white farmers is well documented.
Furthermore, as
early as 2011, Malema was implicated in such incitement to violence against whites. And there's evidence showing he's said made similar comments a rally in 2023.
As for the violence prevalent in some areas of South African society, Musk is speaking from experience. The following is a snippet from an interview with his brother where, in addition to detailing the abuse from their father, he mentions a time in the 1980s when Musk, for no discernible reason, was jumped and nearly beaten to death by a group of
white males :
I don't doubt this article for a moment and expect such vitriol from him.
Although I don't support either character in this story, this article leaves me wondering who, between Musk and Malema is the poorer example of a human; Musk for supporting Zion in their 'removal' of Palestinians, or Malema for his desire to rid S.Africa of Boers.
