President Trump said he will cut funding to South Africa in a move that reflects Elon Musk's false claims over the years over his country of birth.

Although the Expropriation Act, which was signed by South African president Cyril Ramaphosa in January, includes safeguards against abuse, Trump proclaimed that “South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY," and vowed to order an investigation by the U.S. government.

In recent days, Musk and Trump have discussed halting aid to the country. The president said "certain classes" are being treated "VERY BADLY."
