U.S. President Donald Trump said he will cut all funding to South Africa over what he called a human rights violation, a move that reflects Elon Musk's repeated and false claims over the years that authorities in his country of birth are anti-white and even encouraging the killing of white people.

Trump said on Sunday that South Africa will be targeted even further, but South African leader Ramaphosa has insisted that "with the exception of PEPFAR Aid, which constitutes 17 percent of South Africa's HIV/Aids program, there is no other significant funding that is provided by the United States in South Africa."
