Elon Musk has appeared to endorse a message about race-based emigration from his native South Africa, after President Donald Trump threatened the country over new land expropriation laws.

A reply under Musk’s Ramaphosa rebuttal said white immigration to Europe should be encouraged. “White South Africans are being persecuted for their race in their home country,” the author claimed.

“Also White South Africans are one of the few population groups that are fiscally positive when immigrating to Europe. We should allow more immigration of White South Africans.”

“Yes,” the Tesla and X chief posted in his quote of the reply on his X timeline.
