Elon Musk has taken aim at South African political leaders and condemned what he called the country’s ‘openly racist’ policies in a series of posts on X.
The tech tycoon used his platform to blast Julius Malema, who leads the communist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, labelling him a ‘genocidal lunatic’ as he shared an old video clip in which the politician can be heard telling a crowd to ‘cut the throat of whiteness’.
Musk, who was born in Pretoria, additionally called for ‘immediate sanctions’ on Malema and for him to be branded ‘an international criminal’ over his ‘Kill the Boer’ chanting in the clip.
