@TRobinsonNewEra @elonmusk Racism like most sins is ultimately its own punishment. South African citizens are being denied affordable reliable internet by their own government.

Elon Musk
Elon Musk@elonmusk·
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!

Why Elon Musk is RIGHT to fight South Africa’s racist rules blocking Starlink? Imagine this: Long ago, South Africa had very unfair laws called apartheid. They treated Black people badly and kept them from good jobs and money. When those bad laws ended, the country made new rules (called B-BBEE) to help Black people get a fair share of business. The idea was good – like a big helping hand. But now? For companies like Starlink to sell fast internet, they MUST give away 30% of their business to Black partners. Just because of skin color. Elon Musk was born in South Africa. He left as a teen to chase big dreams. Today, his company SpaceX wants to bring Starlink – super fast satellite internet – to South Africa. But the rules say no unless they give up part of the company. Elon said it right: “Starlink is not allowed because I’m not Black.” SpaceX promised to spend about $30 million (that’s 500 million rand!) to give FREE high-speed internet to 5,000 rural schools. That helps over 2.4 MILLION kids every year learn better, get jobs later, and have a brighter future. Real help for the people who need it most! Starlink already works in about 24 other African countries. Villages there now have internet for school, doctors, and business. South Africa’s villages are missing out because of these racist rules. Elon isn’t asking for special favors. He just wants fair play so Starlink can connect everyone fast. Internet = education, jobs, hope. Why hold back millions of kids over rules that pick by race and color?

@Cthulhucachoo @KelRo736 Urbanization in South Africa is 63-69%. Rod assumes every person not in an urban area has 0 connectivity. Just makes up stats and then believes he’s right

@WhiteHouse I’m trying so hard not to judge the mental capacity or lack there of of Americans. If more than 50% of the voting population voted for this I’m finding it hard not to conclude that on average, or just more than on average, adult Americans are idiots.

So Trump’s solution to the control of the Strait of Hormuz is to blockade the Strait completely? The same strait that was not a bottleneck until the US was goaded into attacking Iran by Bibi? Yeah this makes total and complete sense

@Glenn_Diesen Hopefully it’s safer because the US will think twice before starting new wars. The global backlash with each additional failed attempt has reduced the world’s belief in the US and its warmongering as the way the world operates…

Are the big telecoms companies going down the road of the likes of DSTV when it comes to not reading market trends? Why are so many of their more expensive packages still geared towards large bundles of minutes in a market that has become increasingly data-centric?

@vaneshree02 Are they hard to grow? They just pop up on the side of the N3 and all through the free state and KZN midlands. Maybe they need fire or something to help germinate?

@RediTlhabi I’m interested in what happens next. The threat of genocide should not be taken lightly, even if it was averted. And we should also not forget that there were several real war crimes committed in the last 6 weeks. Have the wheels of ICJ/ICC Justice started to turn yet?

This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen. From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation. Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days. More on that tomorrow morning from @SecWar and Chairman Caine! The success of our military created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and the team to engage in tough negotiations that have now created an opening for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace. Additionally, President Trump got the Strait of Hormuz reopened. Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace.

So now that there’s a ceasefire the UN can get started with prosecuting the war crimes right? Double tap attacks on the girl school and public bridge shouldn’t go unpunished. Right?
