One of Donald Trump's closest

“The
PayPal Mafia”: Meet the South African Oligarchs Surrounding Trump,
from Elon Musk to Peter Thiel and David Sacks.
Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David
Sacks and other tech moguls with roots in apartheid-era South
Africa have been shaped by the history of right-wing white
nationalism.
Musk, Thiel and Sacks are
part of the “PayPal mafia” of libertarian billionaires with roots
in South Africa under white rule now hugely influential in the US
tech industry and politics.
The personal background of
Elon Musk, the most high-profile South African attached to the
Trump administration, provides an interesting window into the
attitudes of the broader white diaspora. Musk grew up during
apartheid as part of a white family that, like many others, would
eventually leave the country after the system of minority rule
collapsed. His story is often told as one of brilliance, ambition and
incredible wealth — with his father even claiming that Musk
traveled to school in a Rolls Royce. But it’s also emblematic of
the bitter aftermath of apartheid as well as the unresolved racial
tensions and economic inequality that continue to plague the country.
Three decades after the end of
apartheid, South Africa remains one of the world’s most unequal
societies. While political power has shifted to the Black majority,
economic power remains concentrated in the hands of the white
minority. Modern office towers, largely owned by white South
Africans, dominate the skyline of Johannesburg, while makeshift
settlements sprawl below. According to official statistics, less than
10% of the population controls over 70% of private sector wealth —
a glaring reminder of the enduring economic hierarchies rooted in
apartheid, which have survived the formal end of that system.
Peter Thiel,
the German-born billionaire venture capitalist and PayPal cofounder,
who was educated in a southern African city in the 1970s where Hitler
was still openly venerated. Thiel, a major donor to Trump’s
campaign, has been critical of welfare programs and women being
permitted to vote as undermining capitalism. A 2021 biography of
Thiel, called The Contrarian, alleged that as a student at Stanford
he defended apartheid as “economically sound”.
David Sacks, formerly
PayPal’s chief operating officer and now a leading fundraiser for
Trump, was born in Cape Town and grew up within the South African
diaspora after his family moved to the US when he was young. A fourth
member of the mafia, Roelof Botha, the grandson of the apartheid
regime’s last foreign minister, Pik Botha, and former PayPal CFO,
has kept a lower political profile but remains close to Musk.
