Elon Musk Responds to Controversial Resurfaced Video, Calls for Malema to Be Sanctioned
The clash between Elon Musk and Julius Malema comes after a resurfaced video of Malema sparked controversy.
In the video, Malema said,
“So these people, when you want to hit them hard, go for a white man. They feel a terrible pain because you have touched a white man. Not because Mashaba and Solly will not be touched. They will be touched, don’t worry. But we are staring with this whiteness. We are cutting the throat of whiteness,” Malema said.
Musk responded to the clip on social media platform X, accusing Malema of advocating for the genocide of white South Africans. He called for immediate sanctions against Malema and for him to be declared an international criminal.
“Immediate sanctions for Malema and declaration of him as an international criminal!.”
In another post, Elon Musk tagged South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa and questioned him why he allows the opposition political leader to call for the genocide of white people.
“Why do you allow this, @CyrilRamaphosa?
This is a major political party in the South African parliament and their leader is calling for genocide of white people.”
Responding to Elon Musk’s post, Julius Malema did not hold back in his response, delivering a scathing rebuttal. He accused Elon Musk of being a “spoiled brat” and a direct beneficiary of apartheid-era privilege, labeling them a “typical racist” who struggles to differentiate between black individuals.
Malema dismissed any concerns over potential sanctions, asserting that he would never stop advocating for racial equality.
He further stated that if his activism made him an “international criminal,” he would wear that label with pride
“I really think you have entirely lost your left brain: a typical spoiled brat and direct beneficiary of Apartheid whiteness. I know black people look the same to you, typical racist. Look closer, and you will realise those are two different people. America is exposing us to its stupidity. I don’t care about your sanctions; I will never stop fighting for black people to be equal to white people, and if that makes me an international criminal, I am proud to be one.”
