"Just a fact. It’s literally in the laws," added Musk on his social media account.
To which Inimba and The Queen actor Loyiso McDonald replied: "Bullsh*t, Elon!", on his X account on Saturday, 6 December 2025.
Musk was responding to a post by social media user @gailalfaratx, who wrote on his X account on Saturday, 6 December 2025:
"Isn’t it ironic how Elon’s Starlink wants to drop free, unlimited, super-fast internet into 5,000 rural South African schools, but SA’s bureaucracy insists on saying no. I think the 2.4 million kids in SA without proper access would benefit immensely. Starlink is even putting R500 million (about $29.4 million USD) on the table themselves, no cost to the government or the schools. All they’re asking? A normal licence to operate in SA. Here’s the crazy part: because of the 30% black-ownership rule (B-BBEE), ICASA keeps saying 'nope'."
Sports broadcaster Robert Marawa also slammed Musk
"What time are you checking in here....please don't be late! You are not normal upstairs shem," said Marawa on his X account on Saturday, 6 December 2025.

"And Vodacom South Africa wants to do business with him? Let’s see this unfold."
@RealIggyLibre replied:
"This whole situation is complicated and deserves real transparency. Any policy that blocks progress for students while claiming to serve fairness needs to be questioned. The focus should be on helping kids get better opportunities, not on politics."
@sammychoc responded:
"I read this in my best ‘Laz voice’."
@Lele_Hlazo15 reacted:
"Awu Bra Rob, you are telling the landlord where to get off or where to admit himself."
