South African billionaire Johann Rupert publicly dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump's claims of a "white genocide" targeting white farmers in South Africa. Rupert stated the killings are not racially motivated but stem from deep-rooted poverty, rampant gang violence, and unchecked illegal immigration. He emphasized that all communities are affected, not just white farmers. Calling for technological and political intervention, Rupert urged Elon Musk and Trump to help address the crisis constructively, instead of fueling divisive narratives with misleading labels.
