The X owner also shared his thoughts on “negative news” headlines. He tweeted: “Positive news is nice to know, but negative news, for almost our entire evolutionary history, could mean death, so higher priority.
He added: “What really messes things up in the modern era is that negative news can now reach everyone on Earth but still triggers a limbic danger response even when there is no actual danger.”
MALEMA CLAPS BACK
Meanwhile, Julius Malema and many more South Africans have clapped back at Elon Musk’s comments.
Responding to his “genocide” tweet, the EFF leader posted: “He’s talking s**t.”
Others joined in.
@AlastairMcA30: “There is NO genocide against white people in South Africa. On the contrary, white people are still disproportionally powerful and wealthy compared to their black counterparts.
@VimleshRajbansi: It is unfortunate that instead of finding meaningful solutions to close this inequality gap, our politicians prefer to play the race card inciting further division between ethnic groups. It’s election time, and fear will win them votes”.
@Ololwe2: “This is what happens when their privilege is threatened. MAKE NO MISTAKE!”
