"Comments from South Africa’s ambassador about the Trump administration were “unacceptable” and “obscene,” State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said.

Secretary of State #MarcoRubio declared Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool “persona non grata”... after the diplomat said that #Trump and his supporters are effectively a “#supremacists” movement projecting “#Whitevictimhood.” "

‘South Africa’s history tells a different story — one where white dominance was not inevitable, where settler rule did not last & where a different future, however uncertain, remains possible.’

#Musk may try to subvert this story but ‘history , unlike Mars, is not his to colonize.'

Elon Musk's "affinity for Nazi salutes have also called into question his racial ideology, especially as a descendant of #Nazi sympathizers. That is according to his father, Errol Musk, who told the Podcast and Chill Network in November that the billionaire’s maternal grandparents supported #AdolfHitler and were members of the #German Nazi Party in #Canada before moving to #SouthAfrica in support of #apartheid."

Text from article: Musk has practically made the notion of diversity his enemy as he works—via the Department of Government Efficiency—to strip and defund federal agencies whose missions make mention of inclusivity efforts. “DEI is just another word for racism,” Musk wrote in January. “Shame on anyone who uses it.” The world’s richest man’s affinity for Nazi salutes have also called into question his racial ideology, especially as a descendant of Nazi sympathizers. That is according to his father, Errol Musk, who told the Podcast and Chill Network in November that the billionaire’s maternal grandparents supported Adolf Hitler and were members of the German Nazi Party in Canada before moving to South Africa in support of apartheid.

Over 360,000km on one battery — South Africa’s highest mileage electric car
A stylish electric BMW i3 is showcased in a modern exhibition space, with sleek cars and promotional images in the background.
“By the time the car had covered over 300,000km, the pack still had well over 80% of its original capacity available.”

Well, there goes that theory that batteries won’t last very long. Ironically enough, it has been the petrol-powered range extender engine that has given the most trouble.

If anything, this car really appears to have racked up very few running costs, actually.

Reuters: Google, Meta face penalties for anti-competitive behaviour towards South African news media. “Google could be required to pay up to 500 million rand ($27.29 million) a year in compensation to South African media outlets after the country’s competition watchdog found the tech giant guilty of anti-competitive practices, while Meta and X also face fines.”

AP Describes Musk’s Coup as ‘Penchant for Dabbling’
https://fair.org/home/ap-describes-musks-coup-as-penchant-for-dabbling/

"Musk locking federal workers out of internal systems...

Why, that’s just “Musk’s penchant for dabbling.” He’s been “tinkering with things his entire life,” the wire service says. He learned to code as a child in #SouthAfrica, you see, & “now #Musk is popping open the hood on the federal #government like it’s one of his cars or rockets.”

Popping open the hood of democratic processes to tinker with them?"

How John Roberts Teed Up Elon Musk’s War on the Court
https://newrepublic.com/article/191528/elon-musk-judicial-crisis-roberts

"Musk’s strategy w/ #DOGE appears to be to create enough on-the-ground damage... that #Congress, the #courts... can’t readily reverse things. A certain amount of lawlessness is baked into this approach...

#Musk appears hostile to the idea that he can be constrained by a judge at all. He does not seem to know or care how the #Constitution works... After all, he grew up in apartheid-era #SouthAfrica"

#ElonMusk #News
Text from article: Musk’s strategy with DOGE appears to be to create enough on-the-ground damage—with dismantled agencies, fired employees, harvested data, frozen payments, and so on—that Congress, the courts, and a future Democratic administration can’t readily reverse things. A certain amount of lawlessness is baked into this approach. You can’t “move fast and break things,” as Silicon Valley’s ruling class likes to put it, if you have to comply with pesky bureaucratic and statutory requirements. But it also seems to run deeper than that. Musk appears hostile to the idea that he can be constrained by a judge at all. He does not seem to know or care how the Constitution works. Some unfamiliarity is understandable: After all, he grew up in apartheid-era South Africa and did not receive an American civics education. His reflexive accusation that the judges are engaged in corruption merely for ruling against him and the administration is straight out of an authoritarian playbook.

The mogul seems bent on pushing the Trump White House into a nuclear confrontation with the federal judiciary. He has the chief justice to thank.

Apple hearing aid feature now available in South Africa
A pair of Apple AirPods Pro resting in their charging case, set against a sleek black background.
“South Africa’s hearing aid market might be in for a big shake-up: Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 hearing aid functionality is now available in South Africa. Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 were set apart from other Bluetooth earbuds in the market when US regulators last September approved their use as hearing aids, opening up a potentially lucrative new market for the California-based technology giant.”

Yes, with hearing aids costing from R10k to R100k, even Apple AirPods will seem very cheap by comparison.

The point of this functionality though is not just about amplifying sound (many ear buds can do that), but it is about assessing hearing loss and compensating properly for it.

It is amazing this has taken so long to get to market if I think about own long we’ve had super cheap reading glasses available in discount pharmacy stores. For many, they just want “good enough” to use.

#Felon47 is not at all against refugees from #africa -

as long as they are white #afrikaners, oppressed in #southafrica.
He now announced "prioritize the resettlement of South Africans of European descent through the U.S. refugee program".
Also, aid to #southafrica is cut as a response to the country’s genocide case at the International Court of Justice (#ICJ) against #Israel
