Elon Musk Responds to Uhuru Kenyatta’s Video on Trump

Elon Musk Responds to Uhuru Kenyatta’s Remarks on Trump’s Foreign Aid Freeze

Elon Musk has reacted to former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta’s comments regarding those upset over U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to halt foreign aid.

Speaking on Wednesday, Uhuru dismissed the concerns raised by individuals questioning how Kenya and other African nations would cope without U.S. financial assistance. The former head of state expressed his confusion over why people were complaining, emphasizing that Trump was not obligated to continue funding global programs.

“Why are you crying? It’s not your government, it’s not your country, and you don’t even pay taxes in America,” Uhuru remarked.

He went on to say that whether Africans like it or not, they must begin to take responsibility for their own development rather than relying on foreign nations. He stressed the importance of African countries prioritizing their own needs and finding solutions to their challenges.

Following these remarks, South African billionaire and tech mogul Elon Musk responded with a brief but direct message, saying, “Good for him.” Musk shared his reaction via a tweet on Friday, retweeting a viral video clip of Uhuru’s speech.

Musk’s Role in Trump’s Reelection and Government Plans

Musk has played an active role in Trump’s reelection efforts and has taken on an informal advisory position focused on improving government efficiency.

Though not officially confirmed, Trump previously hinted that Musk, along with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, could co-lead a new government department known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This department is expected to streamline government operations and reduce wasteful spending.

On January 24, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order suspending nearly all U.S. foreign aid for 90 days. The only exceptions to this freeze were financial assistance to Israel and Egypt. The decision has sparked uncertainty across various international programs, creating panic in some affected countries, including Kenya.

Uhuru’s Response to the Aid Suspension

Addressing the situation, Uhuru urged African leaders to stop relying on foreign aid and instead find ways to sustain their own countries. Speaking at the East Africa Region Global Health Security Summit 2025 in Mombasa, he stated that the suspension of U.S. funding should be seen as a wake-up call for African governments.

“We should ask ourselves, now that the funding has been suspended, how can we bridge the gap? What measures can we take to ensure we support ourselves?” Uhuru challenged leaders.

He recalled how, during past global health crises, Africans would celebrate when international media like CNN and BBC announced new vaccines. However, he pointed out that these vaccines rarely reached Africa in time, and when they did, they were often surplus supplies.

“For any future pandemic, do not expect them to prioritize us. They will take care of themselves first, and whatever remains might be given to us, sometimes for free, but only after their own needs are met,” Uhuru warned.

His remarks have sparked widespread debate, with some supporting his call for African self-reliance while others fear the economic consequences of losing crucial U.S. aid.
