OK, this seems to be about this. They signed a law saying the government can take land in South Africa, and almost all the land is owned by white people.
Hang on - I know some older Rhodesians who lost everything and came to America basically penniless. They were once the breadbasket of Africa. Surely there's a middle ground, but probably not.
The government can't just go and take land. They need to prove it's for the public interest. & the law clearly states that they need to compensate anyone's land that they would need. The shit thing is that our government is so corrupt this is only going to benefit a few rich elites, not the people.
The country's majority Black citizens own just a small fraction of farmland more than 30 years after the end of apartheid. Most landowners are part of the White minority.
It does sound heavy handed, but this the anger is about race.
The article is sensationalist. The government can only expropriate land after negotiations have failed. Expropriation can be challenged in court. No compensation can only be considered in cases where the land is derelict/unused; unproductive; or where original acquisition was unlawful.
It is heavy handed. But if you think so, remember generations of government sanctioned theft, murder and Jim Crow styled segregation under Apartheid. Then, perhaps, relatively not so heavy handed. And once again, you’re correct. The anger is completely about race and white grievance.
The whites stole their farms ruthlessly, often murdering the farm owner or forcefully removing them from their land, they paid no reimbursement for the land they stole, I will never forget watching footage of this on the evening news it was horrific.
Read about Eugene Terre'Blanche who was a far right leader in the 1990s in South Africa. Elon was brought during the time of Eugene. There are similarities. Watch on youtube https://youtu.be/8JHFUXmzR9g?si=-R2rp6b-GJVlIegY
About 10 of the people in S. Africa are white, but they own 90% of the land. POC in S. Africa were banned from land ownership during apartheid. The current gov't seems to be trying to take unused land to give it to black farmers.
Seems like during apartheid, all the white people got the land. Now, there is great farm land not being used to farm. So the government wants to take that land away from those white farmers and give it to people that actually want to farm it. The horror! Old story.
Are black South Africans finally claiming back the land from the white apartheid, who just walked onto black African's property/farms & stole it from them, I'm sure Elon's family would have stolen a few farms at the time.
Elon was born in SA and it has been a racist place for years. Remember the apartheid in the 1990s and the man Eugene Terre'Blanche who was a far right leader in the 1990s in South Africa? I think the comparison between these two men. More evidence Elon is Nazi!
Pls if you want your MIND BLOWN check out the episode of Anthony Bourdain visiting S. Africa. TBH i have never been the same. When I asked my SA friend at the time if it was true about the bubblegum ( I can't explain must watch) she said yes of course as if it were perfectly just and natural.
Elon found a project to use his newly stolen treasury funds for. I’m sure he has an organization that can receive the money for South Africa since he’s an efficiency expert
Orange Mussolini is always trying to grab land, remember he wanted Texas to give him land for the border wall and his concentration camps! His government can take land but another sovereign nation can’t! You absolutely know this was President Musk’s idea!
Excuse me? Like he actually gives a damn? This commentary seems like he's trying to change the current narrative about what's going on here in America.
I am starting to think about all the drugs dispensed with good old Ronny Jackson during shitbag’s last term. I am thinking the drugs are running rapid again! Or dementia Donny is on sundowning OT when these tweets come out!
This is exactly Musk whispering sweet nothings into Trump’s ear. Trump couldn’t point to South Africa, wouldn’t know its capital, this is completely out of left field, even for him.
Thats because we are busy calling out all of your bullshit here!! Send nazi billionaire back home and let him buy his way into their government. He would probably love to have apartheid back!!
I'm guessing you are right black Africans are probably sick of people like Elon's father and so many other white people taking anything of value and treating them like crap. Every white South African I've personally met was a horrible racist like Musk. Not saying all are just those I've met
I am not even joking that when I used to go to Hot Docs and watch any African doc, a yt woman will always bring up the white farmer in. South Africa thing. This was like during the 2010s too.
Wondering…might this have anything to do with Starlink’s delayed launch in South Africa which stems largely from Musk’s unwillingness to meet the regulatory stipulation that major players, including multinationals, allocate at least 30% equity to black ownership. 🤔
Obviously no human rights violations happening in Gaza or the West bank or Trump would be onto this. Must be a Musk campaign to bring back apartheid. Seconded by the war criminal Netanyahu.
Why are we worried about every other fucking country but our own? Oh that’s right he wants us all to forget about the tragic plane accidents because he fired everyone who would make sure things like 67 people dying, wouldn’t happen.
Stay focused friend ❤️
I suppose Elon Musk wrote this. But I’m losing track, how many countries has he threatened now?
Panama
Greenland
Denmark
Canada
Colombia
Mexico
South Africa
Some people thought he was trying to get the Nobel Peace Prize, but no chance in hell if he goes on like this.
Trump couldn’t care less, except he was on the phone with Elon making sure Big Balls was stealing all our money when Elon also mentioned, hey, you know where else we rich white men are being oppressed? S Africa.
JD Vance says that Denmark is a bad ally 😳 We were a founding member of Nato we have always stood shoulder to shoulder with the USA ever since and many Danish soldiers have lost their lives in American led wars and the fight against terror 😢 F U Vance and your incompetent President 🇩🇰🇺🇸❤️
Actually, I know a few people in South Africa, and the hate crimes against white farmers have been going on for a while now. It never seemed to be picked up by MSM, but there were stories of white farmers people being tortured in front of their own families.
Elon and Stephen Miller are running the country. Of course Elon put him up to this….while he was taking a break from infiltrating our secure computer systems.
It is happening in this country right now but he is oblivious to our needs. The felon cares more about Musk's home country than his own. He is a complete traitor. Impeach him now.
So much for the no new wars promise-
The felon FOTUS lied… color me (not) shocked 😳
So exhausted- feeling bad for the kids when they learn about “historic” Shitler history and take a final exam. The 1st 2 weeks going to take 2 months to teach
I sure hope they are discriminating against white people over there. For how long have blacks been taken, bullied, and killed in their own country but for those like musk that settled there and decided I want this land.
Probably, these guys r so insecure they have to lie, cheat n steal from hard working Americans! Thats all American of every religion , color, creed we have to push back hard!!!!
South Africa is returning stolen land back to the people the colonizers took it from😒 obviously the white South Africans feel discriminated because justice is only for the white people of course 🙄
I seem to remember him blathering about South Africa during 1.0 and on Twitter. Probably because Black South Africans were getting back land that had been seized by whichever group of white people during colonization.

Per assface, rich white males are being discriminated against.
Based on history, discriminated persons should be rounded up and lynched in public view.
Or not public. Whatever.
Eat the rich.
Russia annexed Ukraine - unprovoked

This just goes to show that the president of the United States is bowing to the whims and demands of Elon Musk.
Anyone?
And how much did Elmo pay for T-bag to win the election?
Trump can’t find South Africa on a map, and would give a rats ass what happens there anyway.

It's as if Musk typed it himself.
Watch out. He’s setting up to try this here
You’ve been warned
💙💙💙🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
But they have never used it.
"Mom! Come get Daddy."
Perhaps an attempt to
equitably restore land to others? Just a guess
