Errol Musk, the father of Elon Musk, has made controversial remarks about the projected demographic shift in the United States.
What Happened: Errol Musk, in a recent interview, expressed serious concerns about the anticipated demographic transformation in the U.S., where the white population is projected to become a minority within the next 20 years.
Errol Musk, a resident of South Africa, termed this shift as “a very, very bad thing to happen”. He questioned, “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?”
During the interview, he further discussed his home country, South Africa, stating that the “small white population that projects the European culture” has significantly contributed to the growth and development of the Black African population.
He rejected the notion of oppression in South Africa as “nonsense”.
