Overview
- In an interview for a CNN segment with Donie O’Sullivan, Errol Musk called the projected drop of non-Hispanic White Americans below 50% by the mid‑2040s “a very, very bad thing” and said the country would be “doomed.”
- He asked, “You want to see the U.S. go down? Why? You don’t like electric cars, and you don’t like technology? What is it, you want to go back to the jungle?”
- Discussing South Africa, he credited a “small white population” with national development and dismissed claims of oppression as “nonsense,” assertions CNN challenged and historians widely reject given the documented realities of apartheid.
- Benzinga framed the interview alongside its report that the U.S. will boycott an upcoming G20 summit in South Africa, and it referenced President Donald Trump’s prior “white genocide” claims that South African officials have denied.
- Coverage revisited Elon Musk’s long‑public estrangement from his father, citing Rolling Stone quotes in which Elon called him “evil,” and noted Errol Musk’s 1998 self‑defense killing case that ended without charges.
