Eff Declares Elon Musk 'enemy Of Sa' As He Calls Malema A 'criminal'

The Economic Freedom Fighters EFF has declared South African-born US billionaire Elon Musk an enemy of South Africa.

This after Musk called for immediate sanctions against EFF leader Julius Malema and a declaration of him as an international criminal in a post on X on Sunday 9 February.

The SpaceX and X owner was commenting on a 2018 video in which Malema is heard saying his party would vote to remove then-Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Athol Trollip from office because he was white. This was part of dealing with whiteness, he added.

In a statement , the EFF said it was not fazed by Musks declaration, accusing him of assuming the role of a global billionaire maniac, whose grotesque wealth has overwhelmed him and made him think of himself as a supreme ruler of not only the Oval Office, but of all nations of the world.

The EFF takes this opportunity to tell Elon Musk and all of his allies, in the USA, in Israel and the right-wing groups in South Africa which have mobilised Musk, to collectively go to hell, it added.

The party said equality in South Africa is rooted in the return of the land to African people through expropriation without compensation.

Additionally, the EFF makes a firm commitment that Elon Musks Starlink will never operate in South Africa, without complying to local legislation which demands that there must be 30 local ownership, it declared.

The EFF declare Elon Musk as an enemy of South Africa, and a capturer of governance in the USA who will lead to that nation's downfall. All progressive nations, including Russia, China, India and all African states, ought to isolate and reject all enterprises pursued by Elon Musk in their nations.

Musk has been reposting what the South African government believes is misinformation on his X account, which had 216 million followers at the time of publishing.

This included a post calling for the US to admit white people from South Africa as refugees. Days later, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order announcing a policy of resettling Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation.
