  • The Danger Of Elon Musk
    Sep 5 2024

    Have you voted for my next slate of videos?

    Have your say now in the polls to decide what topics I cover.

    Elon Musk could be the most dangerous man in the world due to his influence and power. He has the ability to amplify or stifle voices through his platforms.

    I highlight how Musk's actions and ideologies are not aligned with the prosperity of Africa or black people.

    Thanks for reading ALKEBULAN - Discover The True Africa! This post is public so feel free to share it.

    He is promoting the Great Replacement Theory, which is a cornerstone of white supremacy. I emphasise the need for Africans to think strategically and autonomously, rather than being followers and slaves to the machine.

    Musk's focus on whiteness and lack of engagement with African issues is strange as he’s supposed to be a South African.
