Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk, made controversial remarks during an interview for CNN's upcoming special 'MisinfoNation: White Genocide,' warning that the United States would decline if white people become a minority. Speaking to correspondent Donie O'Sullivan, Errol likened the potential shift to returning 'back to the jungle' and tied it to his experiences in South Africa. The interview addresses misinformation around demographics and claims of 'white genocide.'
Interview Highlights
In the interview for CNN's 'MisinfoNation: White Genocide,' Errol Musk responded to projections that white people will become a minority in the U.S. population within the next 20 years. He stated, 'That will be a very, very bad thing to happen. 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?' Errol, who resides in South Africa, used his home country as an example, claiming its 'small white population that projects the European culture' fed and grew the Black African population.
Context on South Africa Claims
The discussion touched on recent U.S. political rhetoric, including President Trump's assertions that white South African farmers are being abused and killed, a narrative Errol supported. He dismissed notions of oppression in South Africa as 'nonsense,' saying he never witnessed any. O'Sullivan countered, 'because you're white.' South African officials have refuted these claims as bogus, amid the U.S. boycotting the upcoming G20 summit there.
The special aims to explore misinformation on topics like 'white genocide,' with Errol's comments highlighting ongoing debates around demographics and race. No release date for the full special was mentioned in available details.
