Somali Woman Backlash Response00:07:44
Check out what this dumb Somali girl did.
Somali woman.
Somali.
Somalian.
African woman.
Right.
This is this is dumb.
People say like this is this is fake.
I'm like, let's look at me.
I wouldn't worry too much about this one.
He that I wouldn't worry too much about him.
He about to die.
Oh, she said that he about to die.
First, like, she was like hitting him.
She's like, like, she was sucking him off or something.
But then she's like, he's about to die.
Okay, she's got two strikes against her.
She's a woman.
Right?
That's a huge strike.
And two, she's Somali.
Yeah.
She already been dealt a horrible hand in life.
Yeah, but anyway, Elon Musk saw that.
He said, Then it is war.
Now, Elon Musk has how many followers?
230 million followers.
You crazy for attacking a man with 230 million followers and telling him he's about to die.
So Elon Musk, he's got this pinned to the top of his profile.
Yeah.
I like that caption.
Then it is war.
But anyway, so she's getting a lot of heat.
So she did a video on TikTok responding to the backlash.
Watch this.
You told me a week ago that my name and Elon Musk's name are being voiced in the same breath.
Why is she whispering?
You know what?
There's kids in the house sleeping and it's late at night.
She's panicking.
So I gotta do this video before I go to sleep.
And she's reading a teleprompter.
Yeah, yeah, watch this.
Wouldn't believe you, but here I am today.
Hello, if you know who I am, do you know why this video has to be made?
On December 31st, 2025, my life took a tragic turn.
I was badly misinterpreted and misheard on a non-viral clip.
And this you said he's about to die.
He's making fun of his health.
Is that what she was doing?
Yeah, exactly what she's doing.
He button die.
What's wrong with his health?
I don't know.
He's not out of shape.
He looks pretty fit to me for his age.
He's in great shape.
Clip, my words and what they are being translated to has been taken greatly out of context.
I want to make myself clear.
I never intended or even aimed to threaten the life of Elon Musk.
I'm not a person that carries around hate.
The media and Elon have taken my words completely out of context.
And it's been deeply hurtful to watch how that's turned into me being dehumanized and painted as a villain for context.
The clip you're already a villain.
I mean, $9 billion.
That's what they're saying right now, anyway.
Preliminary.
$9 billion in fraud up there in Minnesota.
And because of that heat, you want to get up on TikTok and like stand up for your people or something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Why would you even need to stand up for that?
If you haven't committed a crime and you're Somalia, you have nothing to worry about.
They're targeting the people who's committing crimes, who's committing fraud.
But y'all trying to make it about the collective.
Yeah, like we're doing it because of Frank.
Say it's nothing to do with that.
Yes, we're doing it because you're pirates.
Going viral was taken from a longer life segment and edited in a way that removes the heart of what I was trying to say.
During that stream, some of my supporters asked me about my thoughts on Elon Musk in relation to his health after viral photos of him in swim shorts surfaced.
My intention was to never mock, insult, or be cruel in any way.
Oh, that's the whole point.
Oh, I obviously use that to mock him.
Okay, so she saw him in swim trunks.
Yeah, say he about to die.
Okay.
So.
Anyway, what I was trying to express came from my personal experience.
As a person gets older, health becomes more important.
And it is something we should all be taking seriously and treat with care.
My message was meant to encourage kindness towards our bodies and towards one another if we live alone.
It's another dumb broad from Africa.
You're trying to be funny.
Trying to be...
Did he?
He made it funny.
Yeah.
You making jokes?
He makes jokes.
Yeah.
Then it is war.
You're over exaggerating things.
Yeah.
You talking trash?
He's talking trash.
Yeah.
All of a sudden, you're being attacked.
Yeah.
For his life.
Instead, that message was twisted, stripped of its context, and turned into something it was never meant to be.
This is more interpretive as dismissive rather than a literal threat.
Elon Musk tweeted the same viral video twice.
I assume the first time didn't get the reaction he wanted.
Both apart.
One where he said, and I quote, wonderful people.
And the most recent time that is currently still pinned at the top of his profile stating, and I quote, then it is war.
While Somali hate is at an all-time high right now, Elon is a very powerful man.
No, I wouldn't say Somali hate is pirate hate.
You're crazy for attacking one of the biggest internet trolls on the globe right now.
I think he's the biggest and he's the richest.
Yeah.
He's got nothing but well, I wouldn't say he's got a bunch of time on his hand.
He's got a lot of successful businesses running, but I'm sure he can find a way to make some time and troll people.
Yeah, you made it personal because he's a big Republican donor now.
Yeah, you just hate Elon Musk.
Yeah.
And then you mock his, like, what he looks like in a swimsuit.
I wonder what you look like with all those curtains on you.
You shouldn't be bragging about what you got under them blankets you got going, covering everything up.
That's one thing I don't get about these people.
They come to this country for a better life, but they bring all that culture here.
Like, why do you want to dress like that?
What's an oppressive culture that makes you dress like that in Somalia?
Why you do it here in the States?
That's Muslim, right?
Muslim?
You know why they do that, right?
Why?
Because it's the woman's fault.
When men sin, it's the woman's fault.
So they dress them up in curtains and make them cover up.
Yeah.
But I would imagine, I couldn't imagine going to another country and just ragging and mocking the leaders of that country.
When my group of people that's there in that country is literally getting behaving like pirates, stealing billions of dollars of taxpayer money.
Why would you do that?
Yeah.
They say our IQs are only like 67, 68, but is it really?
You think the IQs are low?
Not that low.
I would say probably 80.
Well, I think they're pretty intelligent.
They say, she's intelligent.
She's not one of those dumb pirates that, you know.
Man, it has endless amount of supporters.
This will forever be a losing match for me.
Elon Musk is coming at me with full force, but I don't remember when I signed up to be an escapegoat, but okay.
She said a scapegoat.
It's just scapegoat.
Did she say a scapegoat?
Yeah.
Well, she talks two languages.
I shouldn't be criticizing her.
Yeah, she speaks better English than I just.
I mean, it's a stupid video that you put out there.
Yeah.
You're attacking people that don't need to be attacked.
You should be attacking the Somalis that's been ripping off our government.
Scapegoating and Community Animosity00:01:14
I mean, we allowed you to come in our country.
Yeah.
Y'all, you should be thankful.
Why are you attacking the people that gave you a hand?
That's the thing.
She don't have no animosity to the Somalians who are bringing all this heat on their community.
She has no hate for them.
Yeah, but she has no animosity for them.
But she has hate for the people that's pointing it out.
Exactly.
Yeah, maybe IQ is 68.
I think she just, people have biases.
Yeah, she has biases, right?
Based on their skin color.
They want to think a certain way based on their skin color.
Right.
Like, I guarantee if this was a white girl, they switched out and put in a white body, she'd be a white supremacist.
Guaranteed.
This tweet has caused me great discomfort.
My intentions were to never make Elon Musk uncomfortable or feel unsafe in any way.
I don't know how a billionaire can be scared of a little girl who doesn't have the power, but go off.
Wait a minute.
He's not scared.
He's just trolling you.
You trolled him.
He's going to troll you back.
Yeah.
I wouldn't troll the biggest troller on the face of this earth.
If you do, you better come correct.
Yeah.
How you going to troll him?
And your community is stealing billions of dollars.
