𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐄𝐥𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬! Most people in the Western Cape support a referendum on Cape Independence, and reject the ANC’s restrictive racial policies that are blocking Starlink in South Africa. Tag Elon. Retweet. Make it heard. @elonmusk

Speaking as someone inside Iran who stayed connected through Starlink during the total internet blackout, I want to say this loud and clear: President Trump’s recent video on Truth Social — showing Iranian protesters writing “President Trump please help” on walls, waving Lion and Sun flags alongside American flags, replaying raw footage of the revolution and saying “I’m with you, I will fight for you and I will win for you” — is music to our ears. The flames of the Lion and Sun uprising have not died down. They are simply waiting for the right moment to roar again. It was @realDonaldTrump, alongside @netanyahu and @PahlaviReza who told us to stay in our homes, stay safe, and wait until help arrives and Operation Epic Fury is complete. That’s exactly what millions of us have been doing. There is enormous pent-up anger, grief, and anxiety inside Iran right now — but also real hope. All of it is ready to be unleashed the moment the opportunity comes. The Iranian people are deeply pro-America. We need America’s support to finally envision a free Iran — a nation where values very similar to American ones can flourish once more, just as they did before 1979 and the arrival of this cursed, evil regime. Make no mistake: this is not a regime that will fade away or soften its terror on its own. Trust me when I say we have tried every possible path short of war. We exhausted every peaceful option — massive street protests, open resistance, attempts at gradual reform, dialogue, you name it. None of it worked. The regime’s only consistent answer has been bullets, executions, and fresh waves of fear. Right now there is deep internal fighting among regime figures. Mullahs and the IRGC are turning on each other, while the so-called “reformist” faction is nothing but the same old Islamic Republic in nicer clothes and smoother language. Do not be fooled by them. The only reason they are clashing is because their money flow has been disrupted, so they blame one another and scramble for more power. We tried to bring this regime down before, but we were mostly unarmed while they were armed to the teeth. Over 40,000 were slaughtered in cold blood, with many more executed, tortured, or thrown in prison. We need help to level the playing field. Then we will rise again—and this time, we will succeed. When we do, we will never forget who stood with us; our debt will be paid in full and more. Iranians are more pro-America than many Americans on X, because we have seen American values and said: “Yes, that is what we want too.” That includes the First Amendment — which needs no explanation — and the Second Amendment, which hits especially close to home. An armed Iranian people could never have been oppressed like this for so long. No one should ever have to surrender their guns, and no one should have to hide like a criminal just for having free internet. I should not be forced to run and conceal myself for simply owning @Starlink. The Iranian diaspora has been our voice when we had no internet. They have accurately represented us during these protests while the talks were happening, making it clear we reject any negotiation with this regime and want Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to represent the Iranian people — because no one inside this regime ever can. We are anxiously waiting for the opportunity. Let’s see if it comes. But make no mistake: the majority of Iranians feel exactly as I do. Make Iran Great Again. The world will soon understand why we say: Anything for freedom. Anything to end this evil. #IranMassacre‌ #IranRevolution2026‌ #KingRezaPahlavi‌ForIran

„Gib me!“

Excellent, honest analysis.

🚨South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa is in serious trouble over a major corruption scandal. • Around $580,000 was reportedly stolen from a sofa at his private farm in 2020. • He allegedly sent officials himself to recover the money through operations across borders. • Reports say he avoided official procedures while doing this. • He is also being accused of possible tax issues in the same report. And this is the person leading South Africa? South Africa deserves better. (Source: WioNews)

Doesn’t this fool hold a doctorate? Pretty strange that he doesn’t even know the role UK and US played in bringing down Apartheid.

Actually, it’s that if you break the law, being a cadre shouldn’t save you.

@stchouse100 😂😂

Retarded Finder has discovered SA politics 😂

God, the stupidity boggles!

@McKay_Dingis024 EEIP, B-BBEE, all based on race. What a lot of hot air you‘ve expended, only to totally miss the point.

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.

There are now more anti-White and anti-Asian laws in South Africa than anti-Black laws under Apartheid. Racism is wrong no matter who it is against.

NEWS: Senior Government Members Lie About Starlink in South Africa Parliamentary chair Khusela Diko claims Starlink’s FREE high-speed internet for 5,000 rural schools “brings nothing to the table” and “won’t move the needle an inch.” The Truth: Starlink is putting up R500 million of its own cash for zero-cost kits, lightning-fast internet, and full maintenance, forever. 
This connects 2.4 million rural kids in deep countryside areas where cables and towers can’t reach. Kids get online classes, free learning videos, homework help, and real skills for the future. Teachers access better resources. Entire villages finally join the digital world, boosting education, jobs, and hope where it’s needed most. @elonmusk is stepping up with real help for free while politicians downplay it. Stop the lies — approve Starlink NOW!

@RiebvJanbeeck 😂😂

Goeie môre, Julias.

@stchouse100 😂

Monitoring the Malema case in EL today.

@Dzungie007 Don’t apologize. You’re right.

All I said: let's come together and fix our country as Black and white and leave the race thing aside. Backlash from both races. I apologise wethu. 💀

@geordinhl Excellent reply! Bravo 👍🏻

We love the freedom loving people of Iran and hope they can one day live in a constitutional democracy with civil rights, like we do.

@StrydomJoost @realRobertCK To be fair, no matter who the ANC elected, they wouldn’t represent me.

Roelf Meyer was just selected as the new South African ambassador to the United States. Do you feel represented by him?

@stchouse100 Gonna feed @RoryDuncan1966 some at our next braai and see if he notices.

Anyone who brings this kak to any self respecting South African braai will get skopped right out & will never be invited again. Voetsek!

@Recon1_ZA I truly can’t stomach the DA anymore, but I love ole Helen‘s spirit 😂

Helen 😂 She's got that adventurous spirit. Most people choose the Olifants. She chose a JHB gutter. The drive is relentless and commands respect.

We don't need a white government. We don't need a black government. We need a COMPETENT government. Forget race. Forget loyalty to failing parties. Do it for the child who can't find work.
