    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.

        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

      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.
