Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, was visibly irked when told that whites in the U.S. are expected to become the minority population in the next 20 years, prompting him to ask, “You want to go back to the jungle?”
Musk’s comments came during an interview with CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan for his new special, MisinfoNation: White Genocide.
In the show’s promotional clip, O’Sullivan said he traveled to South Africa “to find the white genocide [President Donald] Trump keeps talking about.”
Trump and Elon Musk have pushed the claim that White South African “Afrikaners” are victims of “genocide” as a way to justify refugee resettlement in the United States.
“The big concern at the moment and why I think South Africa is a big talking point in the U.S. right now is, America, in the next 20 years, will become for the first time in its history a minority white country,” O’Sullivan said to Errol Musk.
“Well, that will be a very, very bad thing to happen,” Musk said. “You want to see the U.S. go down? Why? You don’t like cars or electric cars? You don’t like technology? Or what is it? You want to go back to the jungle, or…?”

DONIE O’SULLIVAN: If the U.S. because a minority white country — so, there’s Latinos, there’s Blacks, there’s people from all different races make up the majority and then, you know, could be 48% white people. Do you really think the U.S. is doomed if it goes under —
ERROL MUSK: Yes, goes under there.
O’SULLIVAN: Seriously?
MUSK: Of course. You see, if you take South Africa, we have a small white population that projects European culture. What we learned from Europe.
O’SULLIVAN: And oppressed millions of Black people for decades.
MUSK: No! How do you oppress? You know, we gave them work, we fed them. They grew from a tiny little group into a massive group. That’s not oppression, that’s feeding them! You only grow big if you get fed. You only start at 800,000 and become 50 million if you get fed! We fed them, for crying out loud! You know, enough with this nonsense.
O’SULLIVAN: But, so you understand, that the Black population here was so oppressed under Apartheid —
MUSK: Well, we never saw this oppression you’re talking about.
O’SULLIVAN: You never saw it?
MUSK: No, I never saw it.
O’SULLIVAN: Yeah, but, cause you’re white!
