Elon Musk and Racism

1000 replies

raincoatwarmcoatlongcoat · 03/01/2025 20:36

Inspired by the other long running thread. I keep reading that he tweets and retweets racist comments. Can anyone link any or all of them please? I see tweets over illegal immigration, as opposed to immigration, but not racist?

So instead of opinions please can people post the actual words used or retweeted? Or anything he said in interviews, word for word?

Thanks!

its quite laughable that you think that’s how the world works.

That is how print and TV media work. Why do you think it doesn’t?

@AlisonDonut

You guys really need to understand you don't control the world. People are free to type what they want specially in the USA.

I think the issue is that Elon interfered with the American election & now he's interfering in UK issues. I don't think he should be posting inflammatory things like he is. I'm no fan of Kier Starmer but Elon seems to be deliberately winding up people over here.

Menopausalsourpuss · 04/01/2025 23:39

No he's not winding up "people" he's winding up left wing smug middle class people. I'm delighted.

converseandjeans · 04/01/2025 23:42

@Menopausalsourpuss

I think it's also going to inflame areas where there are already tensions - less affluent areas, ones with lots of asylum seekers. Mind you Labour doesn't seem to look out for traditional working class areas any longer.

Menopausalsourpuss · 04/01/2025 23:46

No those areas are inflamed because no one in power is listening to them and a two tier system is being operated plus they are forced to live alongside hateful racist communities who rape their children. People in govt should be forced to live in those areas for a few weeks to understand the issues bit they are all in their safe middle class areas.

He's not racist . But then again that's the go to deflection tactic virtue signallers use when the truth is told.. racist, bigot, right wing , far right , multiple phobics😅 (transphobic, islamapobic) when in fact these deflectors are truthphobic.
On here they are more outraged about Elon Musk putting the spotlight on the government rather than what is happening in this country with a rape gang epidemic.

You attacked me on my first post on this thread when I was merely replying to the original question asked.
You are doing your cause no favours with that type of erratic reaction.

New troll poster is currently plopping abuse all over MN. Hopefully the mods will be up soon.

It is racist disinformation because he is citing unsubstantiated figures as fact and blaming migrant gangs for crimes committed by British citizens, the majority of whom are white.

It is fact that the majority of grooming gangs are none white British citizens. And absolutely wrong of you to suggest otherwise. This is why nothing is done about targeting the guilty communities, because some people are in denial, and apologists for these communities suggesting white young girls are lacking in morals and values so are not blameless. It’s pretty sickening that some people still deny that these grooming gangs are generally Muslim.

Maybe people are picking on Elon because they don't like Africans being successful.

Actually they are mostly white. There may be some ethnicities that are over represented, although the data isn’t great but white British is the ethnic group with the most offenders in gang based CSE in the UK.

he retweeted it saying that United Airlines diversity and inclusion policy was putting peoples lives at risks…….ie insinuating that because they were hiring black pilots these pilots were likely too stupid to be pilots
Alot of these 'insinuations' turn out to be in the eye of the beholder. Weren't United airlines recruiting for those with sight disabilities to be pilots at the time? Hiring pilots that can't see properly just to fill a diversity target does put people's lives at risk.
Fucking hell people really will believe any old shite. Do you seriously think an airline company would do this, risking crashes and trashing their reputation and share price?

Yes, people really do believe any old shite.

No surprise there from the BBC. Did they report on the rape gangs and the victims?

The BBC made an award winning series about the victims of grooming gangs. It is still on iplayer.

slightlydistrac · 05/01/2025 16:18

"Is it also OK that he is an unelected person being allowed an incredible amount of power over world politics?"

Quite. What is his end-game?

Well that's OK the, you don't think he's racist.

Is it also OK that he is an unelected person being allowed an incredible amount of power over world politics? It is OK that his history of communication suggest that, at best, he is pretty erratic and at worst....?

I'm not sure what it says about you that can't find any evidence of racism. The man posts in support of 'Tommy Robinson' FFS. Try harder.

Are you new to this planet?

Do you think people are ‘elected’ based on transparent ‘democratic’ processes. Rather than corruption….sorry lobbying, buying influence and downright cronyism.

Must be nice to live in such a sheltered, naive world.

Almn0etd · 06/01/2025 07:18

Instead of frothing at the mouth constantly about Musk and Farage, how about we ask why the corrupt governments, councils and police never dealt with the issue. By not doing so, the corrupt authorities are the ones risking social order peace. These people are the biggest risk to face relations, not Musk or Farage.

If I thought people genuinely wanted to know I would. But given that a two second google would pull up many examples and people choose it to do that…

No.

If you want to believe the son of Apartheid is not a demonstrable racist, you do you.✌

To be fair, there were many anti racists who were raised under apartheid, that's not really an argument.
