The brittleness of white billionaires
The brittleness of white billionaires
It’s insane that this guy can look at the past hundred years of South African history and think “yeah, I’ve got the short end of the stick here”
Next level delusion.
He knows it's not true, he's just trying to keep the Republican voters enraged.
Works every time, over and over, and over.
Unfortunately it is true. South Africa discriminates based on race.
Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by Musk's SpaceX, has been unable to enter the South African market due to the country's Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulations. These laws require that companies providing communication services be at least 30% owned by historically disadvantaged groups to receive an operating license.
When you're a white supremacist, black people not immediately bowing down to you is an affront to your supposed superiority
elon musk has a deformed and defective penis.
never forget.
I really wonder how much of his outward shift can be traced back to the botched "enhancement" (gender affirming treatment):
- Desperate to prove his alpha male status by spawning a brood
- becoming meme lord prime (in his own eyes at least, yikes)
- associating with the redpilled crowd
- "top 1% gamer" lol
- he made tesla make a "truck"
- etc
How many black-owned businesses were prohibited from operating in South Africa while his apartheidist family were literally enslaving innocent black people in mines? If he highlighted the ongoing racial violence, I'd agree that there's a problem. But for this, I'm not upset or surprised.
But what he's even claiming isn't true... Why do we have to dig any deeper then that as a lie?
Well, we can dig deep enough for the context at least. For anyone interested in the facts:
Sir, that's NOT true & you know it! It's got nothing to do with your skin colour. Starlink is welcome to operate in South Africa provided there's compliance with local laws," [Clayson] Monyela [Senior official of foreign affairs] wrote. "This is a global international trade & investment principle." And later on in the article, "[There are] local Black Economic Empowerment rules that foreign-owned telecommunications licensees sell 30% of the equity in their local subsidiaries to historically disadvantaged groups."
And just to be clear it's local subsidiaries not the entire Starlink business. He's just upset that he's being required to follow local laws, and hasn't been able to find anyone to bribe into rewriting them for him.

No hallucinogens required, South Africa discriminates based on race.

Man, the whites really are supressed there in South Africa, always has been that way
