LANGEBAAN, SOUTH AFRICA: Errol Musk, the father of billionaire Elon Musk, during a recent interview, suggested that the United States will face decline if White Americans become a minority.

He was discussing the demographic change, framing it as a threat to the country’s stability.

During an interview with CNN for its upcoming special 'MisinfoNation: White Genocide', Errol Musk sat down with senior correspondent Donie O'Sullivan, who asked him about figures projecting that White people will be a minority US population within the next 20 years.

According to Errol, "That will be a very, very bad thing to happen. You want to see the US 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?" 

O'Sullivan asked Errol if he really thinks the US is "doomed" if White people become a minority, to which the tech billionaire's father replied, "Yes, of course."

He doubled down and brought up his own nation as an example. He said South Africa's "small White population that projects the European culture" fed and grew the Black African population.

Errol Musk denies Black people faced oppression in Apartheid-era South Africa

“And oppressed millions of Black people for decades?” Donie O'Sullivan asked, to which Errol Musk fired back, “No! How do you oppress? You know, 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! You only grow big if you get fed. You only start at 800,000 and become 50 million if you get fed!”

He asserted, "We fed them, for crying out loud! You know, enough with this nonsense."

As O'Sullivan said that Errol should "understand that the Black population here was so oppressed under Apartheid," the businessman said he "never saw this oppression you're talking about.”

Claims of White genocide in South Africa



In the show’s promotional clip, Donie O’Sullivan said he traveled to South Africa “to find the White genocide President Donald Trump keeps talking about.”

O’Sullivan noted that the country is a talking point in the US right now following Trump's claims that white South African farmers are being abused and killed.

Trump and Elon Musk have pushed the claim that White South African “Afrikaners” are victims of a “genocide,” a claim used to justify refugee resettlement in the US.
