Elon Musk reacts to clip calling white South Africans ‘dogs’
Elon Musk has reacted to a clip of Nota Baloyi calling white South Africans “inferior” to blacks.
The world’s richest man has previously accused his home country of promoting “racist laws.”
ELON MUSK RESPONDS TO ‘WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN’ CLIP
In an episode of The Hustlers Corner podcast, Nota Baloyi made several racist comments.
Speaking to DJ Sbu, he said: “The problem that South Africans have right now is that we don’t understand white people.
“White people are an inferior species to us. We’re homo sapiens, and they’ve got Neanderthal blood in them. This is science that was done by them. They studied this, and they realised that they were inferior to us.

He continued: “The white population is shrinking. For us it makes no sense to descend into the savagery that they have. Whatever leadership they have is dying out. Wealth is disappearing from the third generation it’s passed down to. We’re in the last generation, we’re dealing with the weakest whites the world has ever seen.
“We’re expected to have Ubuntu. But with white people just below humans, we’re negotiating with animals, wild dogs to be tamed”.
Elon Musk retweeted the clip with the response: “Hmm.” Elon was born in Pretoria and emigrated to Canada and later the US at age 17.
CALLS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION TO INTERVENE
Apart from Elon Musk, Nota Baloyi’s comments had many social media users outraged.
This kind of racist hate speech has no place in our society, we must stand against it and promote unity and respect for all people regardless of their skin color or ethnicity.
We need to encourage free speech but also call out this kind of vile rhetoric, it’s not acceptable to…

This rhetoric is unacceptable and disgusting

Wow. Can you imagine if a white man got on a public platform and said this about black people? Shocking indeed.
I wonder if Nota was lying-in hospital in need of a blood transfusion, does he ask the Dr’s if the blood comes from a black, white, or indian person. https://t.co/f3f3DBVKNx

Some even called on the South African Human Rights Commission to intervene.
Renaldo Gouws – whose “K-word” video landed him in hot water – tweeted: “This will be the fifth incident of a prominent black person making insane racial remarks within 12 months in South Africa and, as is with the other four black individuals, the @SAHRCommission will ignore this statement too”.
