Cape Town – Elon Musk, the South African-born tech billionaire, has once again criticised Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
Musk was responding to a post by “EndWokeness” X, featuring a compilation of edited clips advocating for violence against white individuals.
“Julius Malema has repeatedly called for the genocide of the 4 million whites living in South Africa. Malema could very possibly be elected as Prime Minister in a few months. Zero international outrage,” EndWokeness posted.
Musk counterattacked by delivering another criticism aimed at Malema.
“The likely future leader of South Africa calls for genocide of the 4 million whites who live there,” he wrote.

However, Musk faced backlash for his contradictory statement from Jackson Hinkle, a vocal critic of Israel’s conflict in Gaza.
“Julius Malema is not calling for a genocide, and he vehemently opposes the Gaza genocide that you support. Maybe that’s why you’re attacking him?” he shared on X, the platform Musk owns,” Hinkle wrote.
