@Nyakasongo @elonmusk To be honest I don’t care about South Africa but blocking starlink is your loss lol

@AnthonyCandybjj @elonmusk Name the policies and outline them please, why is it so hard to get someone who can teach us about this racist laws, we keep receiving the number but no one wants to discuss them

If South Africa doesn’t change its super racist Apartheid 2.0 laws, the country must be sanctioned

@Sicelo_702black @elonmusk Then what’s the issue with starlink

@AnthonyCandybjj @elonmusk Then you cant claim reverse apartheid because apartheid didnt give a damn if there was good non white candidate. Non whites were simply prohibited from entire industries and job sectors.

@Sicelo_702black @elonmusk So what’s the issue with starlink

@Sicelo_702black @elonmusk I believe the best person for the job regardless of race so what’s going on out there

@AnthonyCandybjj @elonmusk Reverse policies wouldn't have whites, a minority, owning most of the private land or still dominating top management positions. Try something else.

@NoSpinZA @elonmusk They’re just replacing the racist policies with the reverse policies really hard to blame them but yes they will fail

@elonmusk Apartheid 1.0 vs “2.0” according to the billionaire! Only racists and useful idiots that equate oppression with correction will call for sanctions on a country trying to correct its past!

@McKay_Dingis024 No starlink internet for South Africa they need to learn who has the technology and who holds the cards.not about equity it’s about business

Elon Musk’s latest tirade against South Africa is a masterclass in billionaire bait-and-switch. He claims Starlink is banned solely because he isn’t Black, a narrative he pushes to his 200-million-plus followers as proof of "viciously racist" laws. In reality, the 30% local equity requirement he decries is a standard part of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) framework that hundreds of other U.S. giants, including Microsoft, have navigated for decades without the "drama". Musk’s "principle" against these rules conveniently ignores that South Africa has already pivoted to accommodate him. As of December 2025, the government introduced Equity Equivalent Investment Programmes (EEIPs), allowing foreign firms like Starlink to skip the equity transfer entirely by investing in local infrastructure and skills. Instead of taking the win, Musk has escalated to hurling expletives at senior diplomats and alleging (without evidence) that he was pressured to "bribe" his way into a license. The irony is thick: while Musk plays the victim of "reverse racism", his refusal to follow local law is the primary hurdle keeping high-speed internet from the very rural South African communities he claims to want to help. It isn't about the color of his skin; it’s about a billionaire who believes his birthplace owes him a waiver for the same rules everyone else follows.

@SweetTexanRose Dumb bitch

🚨 Volume up for this! This BFF pretended to be a nurse & called her bestie’s cheating boyfriend. 😂The fact she sounded so professional, slayed HIPAA, & stayed so calm & unbothered while he became unhinged is giving me life this morning! 😂Wait for his peanut butter comment…😂

🚨 BOOM: Some American drivers are ECSTATIC for Elon Musk's Tesla semitruck "Massive windows, the seat is right in the center. It's usually off to the side and they can't reach the buttons they need to." "10 exterior cameras, obviously these massive screens. They're not inhaling the fumes of a diesel truck. The seat is no longer shaking. All things that are important for a good office or workplace." "There are a lot of benefits and the drivers tell me they love it." @elonmusk 🔥

@ajay_dhojak07 @BRICSinfo Sorry you got deported

@BRICSinfo Bt Who'd take the risk to talk peace to a clown 🤡

JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Iranian President Pezeshkian says Iran is ready for a "fair and balanced" deal with the US to ensure lasting peace and security.

@Its_ereko Europe needs to start excepting reality and stand with America.

🚨🇪🇸 BREAKING: Spain's PM Pedro Sánchez just called for a common European army. Not in 10 years. Not in 2 years. Now. As soon as tomorrow. NATO is cracking. The US is pulling away. Europe is waking up to the fact that its security blanket is gone. A European army means no more waiting for Washington's permission. No more begging for US troops. No more wondering if Trump will answer the phone. The world just got more complicated. The US just got more isolated. And Europe just took its first real step toward strategic independence. This is not a headline. This is a turning point.

@michelletandler What are they paying

Just spoke with a manager of a restaurant in NYC. She said that since the ICE raids began 100 employees have stopped coming in to work (~30% of their staff.) She said they are hiring ppl without experience to backfill. Thoughts?

@BritishHodl So many political analysts on here lol

If President Trump and the administration has caused this Iran war to: - Make the world more dependent on US oil. - Seal control of the Western Hemisphere. - Put China on the back-foot. - AND make the world more reliable purchasers of US treasuries... I will tip my hat to the strategy when it plays out. Because - right now, the whole thing looks a bit misguided from my perspective.

@River @LawrenceLepard I thought they were accepting xrp

Out of hundreds of currencies, Iran chose to take payment in a dying Ponzi scheme that will be destroyed by quantum computers and is backed by nothing.

Elon Musk: "I did originally come to North America with like 2500 bucks Canadian, or 2000 US, one bag of books and one bag of clothes in Montreal at age of 17. So that is how I started out."

@BitcoinTeacher_ 17k😃

My first Bitcoin buy was at $21,046 Anyone got me beat? Any ogs sub 10k in here?👊🏻👇

@WallStreetApes You can’t teach stupid

This is absolutely insane - This American borrowed $96,000 in student loans for a bachelors degree - She’s already paid back $165,356 - She still owes $220,810.73 Again, she only borrowed $96,000 “I have paid almost double what I even borrowed in the first place, and I owe so much money. I am running backwards at this point” How is this legal? This is such a scam. This is why students can’t pay off their loans, the terms are beyond predatory

@Currentreport1 Now that’s a strategy

JUST IN: Iranians are gathering on bridges and around power plants, forming human chains after threats of US and Israeli strikes on Iran's civilian infrastructure.

🚨PROFESSOR JIANG: "I've been to a lot of countries in the world and I'd say that America is the least racist country in the world because regardless of America's racist past Americans have a deep respect for hard work and talent. America is the only country in the world where you can come as a nobody and open a restaurant and become a millionaire. I know because I have relatives who have done that. You couldn't do that in China. You couldn't do that in Europe. You couldn't do that anywhere else. I understand that there's a racist past in America, that of slavery, that of the indigenous people, but you can't forget that America is still probably the most open and generous society in the world."

@A_M_R_M1 lol these people are funny

🚨BREAKING: IRAN: “WE WILL CUT THE UNDERSEA CABLES IN THE GULF THAT PROVIDE GLOBAL INTERNET CONNECTIVITY.”

@TheSamsPodcast Don’t come to Long Island lol JK

After 7 months of crickets...I finally got an offer at asking price, and have another bidder taking the weekend to think about making a higher offer. Looks like we could finally be leaving the Peoples Republic of New York 🚩and moving to America 🇺🇸
