Elon Musk's reaction sends people wild during testy Trump showdown with South African president
The Daily Mail ^ | 21 May 2025 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Billionaire Elon Musk triggered a flood of attention on social media on Wednesday as he joined President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Wednesday.

The president confronted South African president Cyril Ramaphosa on the issue of the deaths of white farmers.

Musk did not speak during the event, as President Trump asked staff to dim the lights in the Oval Office as he played a video of EFF leader Julius Malema chanting 'Shoot the Boer, Shoot the farmer.'

Trump also showcased a series of news clippings including a file from the Daily Mail about the horrific crimes committed against white African farmers.

Photos and videos of Musk staring intently at Ramaphosa as the president denied that the deaths of white farmers was racial genocide went viral on social media.

'I KID YOU NOT, Elon Musk is literally staring at the South African President like he wants to fight him,' wrote one user on X, sharing video of Musk's reaction to the meeting with Trump and Ramaphosa.

The issue is important to Musk who has made a point of raising it on social media frequently with claims of White genocide in the country where he was born.

Musk also criticized Ramaphosa in an interview on Tuesday, accusing him of 'racist' laws preventing him from operating his satellite internet service in the country because he was not black.

'Holy smokes. Elon Musk is staring straight into the soul of South Africa’s president,' wrote MAGA influencer Benny Johnson.

'Yesterday, Elon torched the country’s racist laws and exposed that he's unable to operate Starlink there for one reason: he's not black.'

They can’t even keep the lights on or the water running in Jo’burg. All of you dumbass mofos who cheered on the ANC are now getting what you wanted, and you’re getting it good and hard.

Ain’t “transparency” a biatch? Trump is a George Washington of his time. IMHO.

“IN doing so Trump showed America what would become of the United States if CRT, DEI, Reparations and Communism were allowed to flourish as implemented by the Democrats.”

GREAT POINT!!!

I tried to do the same in an earlier response, but you did better.

Trump is trying to our side off our asses to vote (rather than bitch and let Democrats win), so that we can FINALLY take down the DNC once and for all, as they have NO BUSINESS operating in this country.

Didn’t you know that blacks cannot be racist? /s

But that’s not just a sarcasm, the left actually insists it’s a fact.

Which in effect demonstrates that they are racists.

Great comment, Candor7. Agree, this is taking it straight to the Fake News. And the Trump slapped the NBC reporter down after he tried to shift the topic to the Qatari plane.

The genius about holding these Oval Office meetings is that he’s exposing the wicked press like never before.

President Trump is fantastic: courage, eloquence, statesman, executive, world peace maker, champion for We the People.

South Africa is an African version of Detroit.

What was once a prosperous place is being destroyed by Neo-marxism.

It’s one-party rule, supported and maintained by leftists elsewhere. A large portion of the population are welfare recipients. The Left plays up their dependency and a racial victimhood narrative to keep control.

There are also some very angry and dangerous leftist militants among them.

Bring all the White South Africans who want to come over to the US and grant them all asylum. Immediately.

You're only partially correct.

What you got 100% WRONG, is the fact that Mandela KNEW that RSA couldn't run without whites, he had some in his cabinet and as advisors, and NO...they were NOT members of nor supported the ANC and weren't stinking Commies, as "Saint Nelson" was.

Nelson Mandela’s legacy

Like the legacy of every socialist/communist.

Add to that the accomplishments of Mrs Necklacing herself, the "dear" wife of Nelson Mandela.

For those of you who are not familiar, Mrs Nelson Mandela efforts to combat any opposition had a lovely method to "convince" people. It is called The Necklace. You put a tire over the head of a person, so it hangs from the back of the neck. You then pour gasoline in the tire. and light it up.

The person wearing the necklace will no longer be protesting. The people who witness the Necklacing will not be likely to protest anything.

Agreed. This is on the same level as bringing the women Bill Clinton abused (one raped) to the debate with Hitlery.
