[owenwang]

I love how we always talk about Africa like it is one country

[arcobalenoreborn]

CNBC putting Musk's name in the title to get views even though he's barely mentioned at the end.

[wakaikozy]

I like how they show the poor parts of Africa.. they deliberately excluded the nice parts to make themselves look as if they are liberators..

[RnBMistressWare]

Why does Africa need these people? Haven't they done enough damage? Let African's build up Africa.

[usmanbaiyewu]

I am from Africa and tbh it's nothing but exploitation of cheap labour as far as I am concerned

[RastaAfricanGentleman]

The world: Africa lacks resources to make stable business
Africa: The world takes all our resources

[Don-cneo]

Be careful of these foreign countries and theirs investment Remember our history and our current situations.

[dilliejester]

He is generalizing Africa in a lot of ways .

[trevorthenumber]

Bro I want Africa to reach at a higher level before I die

[dariusdarkshadow]

Africa: cheap labor and undeveloped land
Investors: it’s free real estate

[signsofthetimes]

"Okay everyone say it with me....

[ericyuan]

Average programmer salary in Africa: $2 an hour. Silicon Valley: 🤑🤑🤑

[amorrbaby]

GOD PLEASE PROTECT THIS LAND FROM THE GREEDY.

In Jesus Name

[litojonny]

when economic exploitation hides its face as altruism

[solargod]

Cheap Labor and Natural Resources "PERIOD".

[jojochibalonza]

as an African everything about this video triggers me

[KhaledKimboo]

Why!!! This always puzzles me, why westerns talk about Africa like it's a single country, there's more diversity in language, religion, currency, economy... In Africa that are in Europe and Asia.

[wpwilly]

In Kenya we have been using mobile payment for over 15yrs🤣🤣🤣

[djp]

All those Nigerian princes can start their own silicone valley.

[charlesmungo]
