@Afri_core The fact that you were once manipulated into thinking so actually reinforces the notion!

@Lord_Ori_ @FaraiMazhindu He is not Zimbabwean, just a bot with a Zimbabwean name.

@FaraiMazhindu Bro, you’re a Zimbabwean and Starlink is in Zimbabwe. If this Starlink was really doing all what you have mentioned there, a lot of Zimbabweans who are all over the world searching for greener pastures were gonna be in Zim now. Stop feeding us propaganda and focus on Zim issues!

The demand for Elon Musk to surrender 30% of his business to operate in South Africa is absurd.
Bringing infrastructure, creating high-skill jobs, and expanding the national tax base should be more than enough contribution from any global entity.
The South African government claims this is about compliance, but in reality, it's a system of state sanctioned theft.
While other corporations have quietly paid for political patronage to bypass these rules, Musk is calling out the corruption. This 30% norm hasn't empowered the people, it has simply enriched a circle of political elites.
Most businesses take the easy way out and pay the bribe, but Musk has the integrity to stand his ground and expose the rot.

South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black! We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle. Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied. Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!

The War on the United States of America is the most illogical conflict in Human History.
We are living in a strange era where anti-Americanism is the cheapest currency for popularity. Whether in Asia, the Middle East, or the Sahel, the fastest way to win a crowd is to burn a flag or blame Washington.
But past the rhetoric, the obsession with seeing America fail isn't just misguided, it's completely illogical.
People love to trash the U.S, but they trust its systems with their lives. Name another superpower where a former President can be held accountable in a court of law.
The world's money flows through New York because the rules are transparent. Even the most vocal anti-imperialist dictators keep their personal wealth in USD. They know it's the only currency backed by a system that won't vanish overnight.
While other nations cycle through coups, juntas, and eternal leaders every few decades, America has maintained peaceful handovers of power for a quarter of a millennium. That institutional stability is the foundation for everything else, the wealth, the innovation, and the freedom.
The world's anti-Americans are currently using American tech iPhone/Android on American platforms X, Meta, Google to post their anti-American views.
From NASA touching the stars to Silicon Valley defining the future of AI, America remains decades ahead. The energy spent hating this progress is energy wasted avoiding the truth that, America is the engine of human milestone.
Everyone poses as anti-American until the music starts or the movie plays. The icons, the films, the NBA, the NFL, American pop culture is the global tongue. It is the only place where the American Dream isn't just a slogan, but a reality for the millions of immigrants who continue to flock there.
The most tragic irony is almost every anti-American figure in history has a secret link to the West. They send their children to Ivy League schools, use American medicine, and consume American luxury. They sell "The West is Evil" to their citizens while enjoying the fruits of the West in private.
Organizations are being formed and billions spent with one goal which is, to beat America.
Imagine if that energy was spent on building domestic systems that actually worked. Imagine if the focus was on innovation instead of imitation and resentment. You cannot defeat a system that you are simultaneously dependent on.
The world loves the fruits of America but hates the tree. Hating the U.S. doesn't make a nation stronger, it just makes it blind to why its own systems are failing.
America isn't just a country, it's the most successful experiment in human history. The results speak for themselves.

Emotions are boiling… The issue of @Starlink in South Africa has been a thorn in the flesh for @elonmusk … South Africa has the potential to be one of the biggest markets for Starlink in Africa…
South Africa has reliable & affordable alternatives, so there is no much pressure to license Starlink
