President Trump accused South Africa of land conflicts and poor treatment of "defined populations." The founder of Tesla and SpaceX, who was born in South Africa and is a close friend of Trump, commented on this during a Monday statement, claiming that the Ramaphosa administration has not confiscated any land and that the policy is focused on ensuring equality of citizens in land acquisition.
Following the president's statement that he would stop aid to this African nation due to its land reform policies, the press service of the South African president stated on Tuesday that President Ramaphosa discussed with Elon Musk the spreading of misleading information about South Africa.
