Trump has accused President of South Africa of “White Genocide” – conspiracy theories previously supported by Musk

During the official meeting in the Oval Office, US President Donald Trump made unjustified accusations against the President of the South African Republic of Siril Ramafos in the alleged “white genocide”. His statement is a theory of conspiracy, which is spread by extreme right circles in the United States, which was in particular supported by billionaire Ilon Musk and a pro -Russian journalist Taer Carlson.

Details: On Wednesday, during a meeting at the White House, Donald Trump accused President of South Africa of alleged “genocide” of white people. He referred to “thousands of stories”, a pack of printed newspaper articles and videos, which, he said, is confirmed by the massacres of the White.

“People run away from South Africa for their own safety. They confiscate the land, and in many cases they kill,” Trump said, in particular white farmers.

South Africa, who survived the centuries of severe discrimination against the black population during the colonialism and apartheid, has been a multi -party democracy under the leadership of Nelson Mandela since 1994.

Ramafos, sitting next to Trump and keeping peace, denied his statements.

“We have thousands of stories about this, we have documentaries, there are news,” Trump said before he ordered the video.

Trump asked to muffle the light in the oval office and show a video on the TV specially installed for this meeting. White crosses appeared on the screen – according to Trump, these were the graves of killed white South Africans. He also demanded a “reaction” and called for the arrest of one of the South African opposition leaders.

Literally: “During the presentation of Ramafos, he mostly sat with an unmoved face, only sometimes pulled his neck to see the screen better. He noted that he had not seen these materials before and wanted to find out exactly where this video was shot.

Details: After that, Trump demonstrated printed copies of articles that, he said, contained information about the killed white South Africans. Turning the pages, he repeated: “Death, death”, and then handed them to Ramafos.

The meeting was also attended by Ilon Musk – South African by origin, who has recently been actively supporting anti -government rhetoric on couples. On his social network X, he stated that his satellite online service Starlink cannot receive a license to work in South Africa because “he is not black.”

The authorities of South Africa claims that Starlink did not even apply for a license, and local legislation only requires foreign companies to partially involve representatives of historically discriminated groups in shareholders of local telecommunication companies.

Prehistory:

• In January 2025, President Syril Ramafos signed a law that facilitates the state expropriation of land in public interest, aimed at overcoming racial inequality in the possession of the territory – a problem that is still relevant after the fall of apartheid in 1994. It gave political, economic and social privileges white, limiting the rights of other people, including the dark -skinned ones.
• Recently, the Grok Chat, owned by Ilon Musk, began answering any social network users with information about “White Genocide” in South Africa. These answers appeared even for the most distant questions.
