🚨🇿🇦SOUTH AFRICA BANS STARLINK - BECAUSE ELON ISN’T BLACK
The South African government claimed Elon’s “unprogressive” views were a key factor in their decision to prevent Starlink from operating in the country.
In South Africa, companies must have at least 30% of their ownership or economic involvement owned by Black South Africans.
This rule is part of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) policy, which seeks to correct past economic inequalities from apartheid times by encouraging the economic involvement of disadvantaged groups.
Meanwhile, Starlink is revolutionizing internet access across Africa, already active in 19 countries with plans to expand even further.
SpaceX says Starlink’s satellites cover every square kilometer of Africa, yet South Africa chose politics over innovation, connectivity, and economic growth.
As Elon said: "Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa, because I’m not black."
And help them get out, these are the real refugees, people that are in provable danger. Sad that so many are loosing what it took generations to build.
Well, that's kind of my point. I'm not saying that they operate under any sort of DEI guidelines.
I'm pointing out to people who are criticizing DEI that Elon would be the one benefiting from it. Not the blacks. Because he would be the minority there.
The DEI laws in South Africa are against Whites (and Indians and Coloureds, a group that includes many small communities some of which are of mixed races).
Read these 143 race based laws very carefully. More are in the pipeline.
I'm assuming you know the definitions of those words.
So Elon, as a white person in South Africa, is in the minority.
Thus, under DEI (if it existed in South Africa as it does in the US, which it does not), he would be given special consideration and gain access to services, jobs, whatever, whereas, if he were in the black majority, he wouldn't have.
You realize that all countries don't have DEI initiatives like the US does, right?
I think people are just taking any sort of legislation concerning race and slapping the title of "DEI" on it. Which is just incorrect.
Even noticing anti-White racism is enough to get you smeared as a White Racist Supremacist. You're just supposed to politely turn your head and pretend you haven't seen anything.
South Africa appears to have rules that businesses operating there either need to be half-locally owned (Musk is no longer a citizen there) or 30% minority owned (Starlink is 0% minority owned). So he doesn't qualify according to their dumb rules.
Yes, if he was black it would solve the 30% issue.
Your first step of ignorance is that the Bantu are in the vast majority, thanks to their high birth rate and migration from countries to the north (about 4 million illegal Zimbabweans for a start). Whites are a small minority.
It's the either/or part that makes him essentially lying here though. If he still had citizenship he would fully qualify to run Starlink there and not need to be black, so it's dishonest.
Bullshit...
If he still citizenship he would Still have to hand over 30% in order to 'qualify' for the BBBEEE status that you need,
Black 'Businessmen' still need to comply with the BEE 'rules' for workers but they don't need to hand over any %
This is a perfect opportunity for a motivated, talented black entrepreneur to fill the void and provide a competitive product that will serve the needs of SA.
But that's the whole thing...It Never Happens that way....about 80% of Real Wealthy blacks are from Tenders from the Government, You know the kind that charges $100 a Glass (that cost 25 cents) at a 'function' for 5000 people, Or $20M for a Bridge where there's No river ...Yet.. You get my drift...🤔😉🙄
It's just brigandage. In Zambia, a popular political party there is named the Patriotic Front (no kidding). I maintained it was the "Pirate Front" and their platform was pillage and plunder. And it was. Armed combat between factions was nearly a daily event. Zambia prides itself on being so peaceable, it has never gone to war. But it is an example of sheep being proud of being shorn. And sometimes worse. The justice system is mostly a "just us" system, so the level of private settling of accounts keeps rising. Badly beaten wives are killing their sleeping husbands out of desperation for surcease.
What crosses my mind is that South Africa may need an "Atlas Shrugged" protest strike of all whites. Tools down. Walk away. Go for vacation in Namibia or somewhere. Let the clocks stop and the drains clog. See how fast the nation grinds to a halt. And then see if the government can come to its senses. Consider this the fevered thought of a sympathetic onlooker.
The blacks will succeed in turning South Africa into Rhodesia 2.0 / Haiti 2.0, and then they'll come begging the white world to feed them.
But muh black utopia
Wakandaaa!
Kangz and shit
Literally the only time Africans have a working society.... Is when Jews write fantasy movies about it happening.
They will likely starve to death without the chance to beg
Purkiss, I hope you in a safe location.
Reasonably...Thank you 🙏🏻
You’d like it in Texas Purkiss
I think I would...👍👌
Texas here
Can we do a prisoner exchange?
A bunch of goddamn liberals here hate America ----- and want to leave.
Talk about a win win.
... and tf have you been doing to fix things?
Biggest difference is you still have hope to save Germany. I'm starting to believe every white person in South Africa should leave.
Gesundheit to you! Go, go, go!
On one hand, we're supposed to be pulling our resources and Influence out of other countries in order to get our shit straight in the US.
But on the other hand, apparently we're supposed to be SA's savior and come fix their racism problems for them.
🤷♀️
Sorry, I still count it as one of those countries that need to deal with their own shit. We have more than enough of our own problems to deal with.
You don't know his situation.
Top husbandry!
Autocorrect.

Do yourself a favor and get out while you still can
Not So Easy my man...
I didn't think it would be. Hopefully Trump can apply enough pressure on south Africa to slow the pace and give people enough time to get out
And help them get out, these are the real refugees, people that are in provable danger. Sad that so many are loosing what it took generations to build.
DEI will get ya every time.............
In South Africa, Elon would be the one operating under a DEI status...
Except that in SA, there is no "inclusion" for Whites.
Well, that's kind of my point. I'm not saying that they operate under any sort of DEI guidelines.
I'm pointing out to people who are criticizing DEI that Elon would be the one benefiting from it. Not the blacks. Because he would be the minority there.

What do you think "DEI" stands for, exactly?
It stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
I'm assuming you know the definitions of those words.
So Elon, as a white person in South Africa, is in the minority.
Thus, under DEI (if it existed in South Africa as it does in the US, which it does not), he would be given special consideration and gain access to services, jobs, whatever, whereas, if he were in the black majority, he wouldn't have.

You seem to be very confused by the situation in South Africa.
Nope. People just seem to not understand what DEI is. 🤷♀️
👍👌
So everything that's built by white people should not be aloud in south Africa, give it all back.
I like that idea.
They should start their own Internet service. They could call it "Mudlink".
So basically the BLM movement in the US failed and they're moving them to Africa.. jokes on them.
Even noticing anti-White racism is enough to get you smeared as a White Racist Supremacist. You're just supposed to politely turn your head and pretend you haven't seen anything.
Wakanda doesn’t need you, Elon. Wakanda forever! 🤡🤡🤡
Just self-identify as being Black. It's easy, and only takes a few seconds.
If anyone doubts that you are Black after you've self-identified... then they are intolerant and racist. :>)
Precisely. I/we often forget to use "their" rules against them.
Meanwhile starlink in Kenya is working wonders. Way cheaper than the local overpriced ISPs over there
Exactly....
Dem spin: Elon Musk Withholds Starlink from South Africa as a Racist White Man
👍😎 I'm waiting for that...
BRICS is going to change to BRIC.
Unless another country that starts with S replaces South Africa.
we wuz starlinks

Elon Musk is still a South African citizen.
Bullshit... If he still citizenship he would Still have to hand over 30% in order to 'qualify' for the BBBEEE status that you need, Black 'Businessmen' still need to comply with the BEE 'rules' for workers but they don't need to hand over any %
Can you link that law? I'm not seeing that as a solid requirement for everyone, only for non-citizens.
The (tribe) prays for that all over the world. Why do you think White countries have DEI and an invasion forced upon them?
