Elon Musk accused Black South Africans of inciting ‘genocide’ against Whites after Julius Malema was seen singing “Kill The Boer”

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Elon Musk accused Black South Africans of inciting ‘genocide’ against Whites after Julius Malema was seen singing “Kill The Boer”.

Elon Musk has accused Economic Freedom Fighters, a radical left-wing political party in South Africa, of “pushing for genocide of white people” after a video circulated on X, formerly Twitter, showed its leader and supporters singing about killing white farmers.

Musk, who was born and grew up under South Africa’s apartheid regime, tagged President Ramaphosa in a tweet asking “why do you say nothing?”, in response to footage of a packed football stadium of EFF loyalists singing “Kill the Boer”.

Musk has previously pleased the far-right by welcoming them onto Twitter with the justification of protecting free speech. He also inched closer to white supremacist stances by tweeting about contorted “Black crime” statistics and other classic white supremacist dog whistles. Musk, however, had not completely aligned himself with white supremacists—after letting white nationalist Nick Fuentes and neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin back on Twitter earlier this year, he let their accounts be re-suspended for platform violations.

His tweeting about white genocide in South Africa suggests he’s willing to go even further to align with people who are not just far-right but openly white supremacist in their politics.

In response to a video of South Africa’s ​​Economic Freedom Fighters party posted by right-wing influencer and serial plagiarist Benny Johnson, Musk tweeted, “They are openly pushing for genocide of white people in South Africa.” The video shows members of the party singing a “struggle song” that features the lyrics “shoot to kill, kill the Boer, kill the farmer.” A court ruled last August that the song was not hate speech, and that the lyrics were not meant to be taken literally. 

Musk, 52, has declared himself a free speech absolutist who has welcomed extremists back to the social media platform which he recently rebranded as X. The rapper Kanye West’s account was re-activated last week after his suspension for posting antisemitic content.

Almost immediately, white nationalists praised Musk for taking up their cause: 

“Elon Musk bringing attention to White Genocide,” white nationalist influencer Nick Fuentes wrote on Telegram, accompanied by an emoji of an excited Pepe. 

Patrick Casey, founder of the neo-Nazi group “Identity Evropa,” tweeted, “In 2016 South African white genocide was a fringe issue—now, the richest man in the world, who also owns Twitter, is drawing attention to it. Things are moving in the right direction!”

Gab founder Andrew Torba, who tried to get prominent anti-semites to come to his platform, praised Musk as well, tweeting, “Took us under a year to get [Musk] talking about White genocide. Give it another six months and he’ll be noticing and naming.”
