There has been a lot of talk recently about money the United States spends on foreign aid and whether it is worth the cost. Mostly it has revolved around certain issues of liberal culture warring, but one country, South Africa, has stood out as a specific country that Elon Musk and President Donald Trump could target on a more holistic basis. This led MSNBC’s Joy Reid to freak out on The ReidOut that Trump has been “red-pilled” into accepting a “far-right movement” populated by those such as the “neo-Nazi mass murderer who perpetrated the Charleston church shooting.”
Reid came out of a commercial lamenting, “We are now experiencing the repercussions of Donald Trump adopting the worldview of Elon Musk. On Sunday, Trump threatened to sanction South Africa, vowing to cut all funding over what he called a human rights violation. That so-called violation seems to be about a new law in South Africa that gives the government powers, in some instances, to expropriate land from people who accumulated it during apartheid, to the detriment of indigenous South Africans.”
According to Reid, “The law aims to address some of the wrongs of South Africa's racist Apartheid era, but Musk has cast the law as a threat to South Africa's white minority. The billionaire, who grew up as a privileged and wealthy white South African during Apartheid, often accuses the post-Apartheid government of anti-white racism.”
