South Africa Rejects Elon Musk’s Claim Starlink Can’t Operate as He’s Not Black | Firstpost Africa
South Africa has said it will not engage in “megaphone diplomacy” with Donald Trump after he announced a halt to all U.S. funding for the nation. It has also rejected a claim by tech billionaire Elon Musk that his Starlink satellite company cannot operate in the country because he is not black. South African officials fact-checked him, clarifying that Starlink’s challenges in South Africa have nothing to do with his skin colour. Instead, the government says the company is welcome to operate as long as it complies with local laws. Watch to know more.

Our mining houses also closed their businesses because if bbeee nonsense..so we could turm SA around by destroying these racial damaging law
Black inexperienced partner with entitlement bend doesnt work many successful companies r bancrupted in SA already because of these bbee knives damaging laws
30% partnership to black people differ from being raicist. Why should they control 100%
The South Africa Regime has become a fully and openly Terrorist State.
Maybe just move out of south africa if you are white.
Id move from any area that wanted to end me.
We moroccan support Elon musk, he granted us Starlink in our Sahara 😂
Who in the hell cares about starlink, aint no black people trying to go to mars,or anywhere else in space, unless they're going to heaven,only a fool would try to live in space,or even get in one of his space cans.im sorry but, white people,yall fuc in up bad,you have all this power,and still you have the world in chaos,stop messing with Black folks and do what's right by people with the power that you have.
No it's not because he is not black. They want to BEEE the company so he has to give 51% of his company to the SA government. Which will be destroyed like everthing else they touch.
He is an American citizen and Canadian, and South African. So just go change your diaper already. 😂❤
To operate a business in South Africa, you have to sell 30% to Black people… translate the corrupt party that is destroying South Africa, demands that 30% of all economy be party crones
A South Africa has serious corruption problems that make Russia look like Norway…
South africa don't need him or the rest of those evil racist colonizers/apartheid people there or on the continent for that matter SMH african people are capable of managing their own affairs 👊🏿
The land belongs to it's rightful owners whoever has a problem can go and buy land rightfully and legally in their home country. Does trump own land in China? So why is he whining about a country that's not his business. Isn't he the fool trying to deport people so why tf should we as africans wear white gloves to deal with the oppressors.
I can wait for Malema to be President so all these criminals who got land by force can be dealt with accordingly.
Trump is a RACIST. how can he call them RACIST. And why should whties get 70% of africa land.
That's exactly right…. they can't build anything for themselves so they force you to give them a percentage of what you have built. Government owns majority of the land and is after all of it.
South Africans are living in a cave, Elons empire is not collapsing, he is headed to be worth a trillion dollars in two years, He is developing what if you don't have you will be lost. God has lifted him. He needs no cave men
The local laws is that you must have a certain percentage of people in your company be black, if he was black he wouldn’t have this issue
DEI, victim mentality
Lol these pale faces 😂now he’s crying racism so why do white people hate him in America is it racism or is it he’s just full of you know what
Wow Firstpost I thought you were better than this. What a horrid interviewer clear biased NPC bot
Smh didn’t he just get trump to put sanctions and strip South Africa of aid lol is this guy looney tunes or what
whites have 70% of the land? is this 70% of the farms, or 70% of the total available open land? surely most of the total open land belongs to the state…
makes me think why the government does not give some of their land to those who wants to farm – regardless of color or creed…
Trumps being racist? Lmao yeah no it’s that ambassador who is racist
The nerve and entitlement it takes to be able to put his(elon) two bird lips together to say such a thing.
White people hate and use one another and most are full of greed.
Even in the mist of there own demise white people would cut off thier own face if they could make an African or black person fell low.
The LEOPARDS are out
🐆 🐆 🐆
ANC does things and then says, oh we didn't do that! "Corrupt, lie and steal, that's our motto – ANC"
Elon musk is the new Hitler
Felon trump nor musk can be trusted!!! Look at their past decisions, practices, statements wnd breaking of agreements!!!! Go with the ither providers. Musk starlink satellites have a 5 year life and fall out if the sky daily!!!
The facts are wrong. More than 70% of the land is ANC and black owned. Get your facts straight.
Racist lies and propagabda supremist machinery. There's nothing like black or white in SA , all people or businesses are treated fairly the same. That's nonsense, if Musk thinks that the laws of our country shouldn't or doesn't apply to him, he has something coming. He's lying about, because iam not black. Report something better to benefit this platform and stop reporting lies about SA. This is not America, where he does what he likes, SA have laws to be applied fairly to all.
Musk is a joke never mix politics with business
U guys are worse than Fake news
Elon Musk is basically the new President Trump. 😂
land owend by whites as 70 present is the bigest lie from the current regime in SAfrica the goverment dont want to pay the registration fee s on their free give away RDP. housing for blacks. so most of the SAfrican land is under tribal control only the whites witch had to use the land acolaterol for the banks for security to buy the land. got the 20 persent of the land registrated so stop the lies in your fake reporting. will. advertise your fake one sided opinion in US
What percentage do whites make up in South Africa.
He wanted to bring investors n invest in the country but our stupid government said no you must have BEEE
Trump is a racist as well as Musk. Their definitions of greatness are pre-Civil War USA & pre-Apartheid S.A.
