Musk, who was born in South Africa, reignited controversy on Sunday after retweeting old footage of Malema making controversial remarks about “cutting the throat of whiteness.”
In his post, Musk called for Malema to be declared an international criminal and sanctioned.
Responding on X, Malema dismissed Musk’s remarks, writing: “I really think you have entirely lost your left brain: a typical spoiled brat and direct beneficiary of Apartheid whiteness. I know black people look the same to you, typical racist. Look closer, and you will realise those are two different people. America is exposing us to its stupidity. I don’t care about your sanctions; I will never stop fighting for black people to be equal to white people, and if that makes me an international criminal, I am proud to be one.”
