ELON MUSK: THE HYPOCRISY ON SOUTH AFRICA For a while, Elon Musk has been painting a narrative that South Africa is some evil country all because they refused him to operate his Starlink His conclusions are, they're racist against white people, that's why they have the BEE laws. But the BEE laws don't exists to disempower white people but to empower the black people Historical context: for hundreds of years, black people in South Africa were the oppressed, they're the majority yet they don't have a say in the economy. From the farms, mines, industry, everything is white controlled Now pause for a minute, let's talk about Starlink, the South African government hasn't denied it to operate but has demanded it has it's own people look into it. Why is this bad? During Trump's first tenure as president, didn't he demand the same of Huawei? Suspecting them of having an anti American agenda, when they refused to let Americans have a look, what did he do? He banned Huawei literally, all American companies were told to cut off their partnerships with Huawei because it was a hostile company threatening America's digital sovereignty But when South Africa does the same, trying to protect it's digital sovereignty, it becomes a problem. What works for the goose, works for the gander. Sanctions - calling for sanctions against South Africa is ill advised as well, because if the intention is to hurt the "black" government, it actually does the opposite. The blacks don't control the means of production, it will only hurt his kin, the Boers/Afriforum guys They're the ones who make lots of money exporting their farm produce to America, the minerals are exported there to America and their whole industry depends on America Now the question is - who would ask for sanctions on a country they claim to love? We have all seen how sanction destroy countries, from Cuba to Iran to Zimbabwe

@Shadaya_Knight BEE law is very racist, people should be employed for their qualifications not their skin color if someone can do a better job and has the experience they should be hired, I can't trust anyone put in any position because they are "black" I'll start questioning

@princehttps @Shadaya_Knight The mere fact that they'll even consider a black person is because of BEE.

@TCxxper @Shadaya_Knight If they want ownership of their land they should just do land reform why need a black empowerment law in your own land ? And if you don't want to end up like Zimbabwe then stop complaining and be qualified for a certain position

@princehttps @Shadaya_Knight Actually a lot of the black people who are in these companies are qualified. BEE ensures equality. If an opportunity comes along it should be available to everyone not just white people as it previously was not.
