In a recent episode of Podcast and Chill, Sol Phenduka boldly grilled Errol Musk, the father of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, on sensitive topics such as apartheid and his son’s controversial views on white genocide. Errol Musk, who has often made headlines for his outspoken opinions, found himself at the center of tough questions about South Africa’s past and present. Sol didn’t hesitate to confront him on these issues, impressing netizens with his assertiveness and ability to shut down Errol when necessary.
The interview touched on various heated subjects, including South Africa’s land expropriation debate. Errol Musk expressed concerns about the expropriation bill, stating that it could “scare people away” from the country. Sol, known for tackling complex issues head-on, then probed Errol on Elon Musk’s handling of the matter on X (formerly Twitter). In defense of his son, Errol affirmed that Elon was “doing the right thing,” sparking further discussions on how influential figures should approach such sensitive national topics.
However, the most controversial moment came when the conversation turned to Elon Musk’s comments on white genocide. Errol Musk explained that Elon’s statement about white farmers being at a higher risk of violence than police officers in South Africa was based on statistics, but his words ignited an online divide. Many critics took issue with Errol’s stance, accusing him of oversimplifying the racial tensions that still exist in the country.
The interview generated mixed reactions on social media, with some defending Errol’s views while others condemned them. One user, @Sbusiso_Rza, argued that the ongoing inequality in South Africa could be attributed to the failure of the ANC government to properly empower black South Africans through education and skills development. As the debate rages on, Sol Phenduka’s fearless questioning continues to be praised for its depth and straightforwardness.
