This and Musk claiming that there’s a genocide against white people: https://archive.is/L1HH3

Should be the nail in the coffin for twitter’s ad business.

Am I missing something in the replies? The tweet reads:

> They are openly pushing for genocide of white people in South Africa.

Not to be pedantic but this sounds substantially different from “there’s a genocide against white people” to me. What are the people in the video actually singing?

Is there confusion about a crowd chanting “kill the whites” at a political rally not being a call for genocide?

If not, why not?
