I will forever by grateful to Elon Musk for sharing AfriForum's documentary about race laws, the threat of expropriation without compensation, and farm murders in South Africa, and rocketing it to 43 million views 🚀

South Africa has now passed 142 laws forcing discrimination against anyone who is not black! Even though I was born in South Africa, the government will not grant @Starlink a license to operate simply because I am not black. This is a shameful disgrace to the legacy of the great Nelson Mandela who sought to have all races treated equally in South Africa.

One small step for Elon, one huge leap for Afriforum.

Everyone saying Elon Musk is the world’s first trillionaire is conveniently ignoring the entire country of Zimbabwe

"When you champion a (nearly) lost cause, you have to blow the trumpet, jump on your horse, and try one last sortie, otherwise you end up dying of old age, sad, at the bottom of the forgotten fortress that no one besieges anymore because life has moved on elsewhere" - Raspail

I am proud that over the past six years @afriforum has been able to spend R1,6 billion on self-do projects as countermeasures against ANC maladministration. Approximately 70% of this (or R1,15 billion) has been used for local communities, security initiatives and self-do actions. The remaining 30% has been spent on our watchdog function, legal proceedings and campaigns. AfriForum’s current income of R22,6 million per month, however significant it may be, is unfortunately still not sufficient to counteract the extent of state deterioration. The organisation must increasingly deliver state services, but without receiving tax money for it. politicsweb.co.za/news/afrif…

Die anti-AfriForum-aktiviste by @News24 wat hulle voordoen as joernaliste en Julius Malema span nou saam om @afriforum te probeer diskrediteer. Lees gerus my artikel in Maroela Media, wat uiteensit wat AfriForum met sy inkomste doen, tot groot ontsteltenis van linkses wat paniekerig raak oor AfriForum se suksesse. 😉 maroelamedia.co.za/debat/men…

They did it. SpaceX has now launched more satellites than the rest of humanity, combined, all time.
SpaceX is only ~200 satellites away from having launched as many satellites as the rest of the world combined (despite giving the rest of the world a 61-year head start)

Did everyone dump their other space stocks to buy SpaceX?
Today marks the beginning of a new chapter. Have a great weekend.

I will never forget this death stare Elon Musk gave the useless, corrupt, and thieving ANC comrades in the White House.

The one thing you can say about everyone who’s unhappy about Elon Musk’s new trillionaire status is that they’re the same bitter and resentful people who would hate you if you had more than them. They make terrible friends You shouldn’t do business with them Never lend them money Never marry them Never give them any responsibility
