Errol Musk, father of billionaire Elon Musk, has ignited a fresh controversy following highly provocative remarks regarding U.S. demographics and South African history during a CNN interview.

“Doomed” Without a White Majority

Musk claimed the United States would be “doomed” if white Americans became a minority. Speaking with correspondent Donie O’Sullivan for the special MisinfoNation: White Genocide, Musk aggressively dismissed demographic projections showing the U.S. is expected to become a minority-white nation within two decades. He warned this shift would be “a very, very bad thing to happen,” arguing it would cause America to go “down.”

Musk further questioned the desire for this change, asking, “You don’t like technology? You want to go back to the jungle?” He doubled down when pressed, stating, “Of course,” the country would collapse if the white population fell below 50%. He cited South Africa, claiming its small white population “projects European culture.”

Dismissal of Apartheid Oppression

The controversy escalated when O’Sullivan challenged Musk on the history of Apartheid in South Africa, noting that white rule oppressed millions of Black people for decades. Musk outright dismissed the widely documented oppression.

“No! How do you oppress? We gave them work, we fed them. They grew from a tiny little group into a massive group. That’s not oppression, that’s feeding them… We never saw this oppression you’re talking about.”

Musk’s comments are part of a broader exploration of the “white genocide” narrative, which has gained traction among some Americans fearful of demographic changes and has even been cited by figures like President Donald Trump when discussing refugee status for white South Africans.
