Elon Musk and Racism

[raincoatwarmcoatlongcoat]

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!

I’m surprised if you work with people with mental health issues you are so disparaging about someone’s mental health.

Think she’s a dead cert now..highest borrowing cost since 2008!!

But you cannot know that without having all the facts.

not that it particularly matters but where is the proof that Elon did this?

He live-streamed himself playing the game Path of Exile 2 not knowing how to do things that a player of that level would definitely know, and saying things that were just wrong.

He also was apparently playing the game at the same time as he was doing an interview with German politicians on twitter.

Lots of gamers talking about it.

He previously did something similar with Diablo 4.

Ah so your deleted post was aimed at me. What a very weird comment. I think someone has explained now why the post was deleted.

Yes I’m pretty confident as a woman in her 40s I’d be pretty safe sat next to Musk and Starmer, clearly not for the same reason - But Musk would be much more interesting to talk with - neuro diverse people normally are. I like people who are flexible, have different view points.. I find Starmer very rigid and this can make him come across as very aggressive.

So what? Rachel Reeves is pretending to be someone capable of managing the economy- now that’s a complete fabrication

Because when you're the world's richest man, paying someone to play a computer game for you so you can pretend you are one of the world's best players at that game is a bit sad, isn't it?

It's an opinion, my opinion, based on his reported behaviour. This is a forum for expressing opinion. I'm surprised that you, as a supporter of Elon, express no concern for him. He appears to be unwell.

@noblegiraffe

"I did see some gamers discussing yesterday that Musk has faked being really good at a particular computer game (e.g. paid someone to level up his character) and did a live stream where he was obviously far worse at it than his game level suggested. This is at least the second time this has happened.

That's not normal behaviour for a man in his 50s..."

I'm not doubting this account but I'm really struggling to see the relevance of this post to a thread on "Elon Musk and racism ".

Does being a man in his 50s faking being good at computer games automatically make him a racist ?
What if the man is in his 40s is he still a racist or not quite as much?
What if the man is in his 50s and genuinely good at computer games is he definitely not a racist?

If the point that you are trying to make is that Musk exhibits odd or not normal behaviour then I think most people already know this.

It was in the middle of a discussion about Musk's mental health. That he publicly faked being one of the world's best players at a video game seemed relevant to that discussion.

Oh have a heart, noblegiraffe. I was soundly trounced at Scrabble by a grandson over Christmas. It's a bitter blow when you lose your crown. If only I was a billionaire looking for a useful role, I might take some time to finagle the result of any subsequent match by taking expert advice from a champion. Although I probably wouldn't.😄

What you should do is pay the world scrabble champion to put all the most complicated words down for you in your next match, then come in at the end and put down “cat”, claim victory and expect no one to notice.

I'm Neurodiverse, Neurodiverse people are not known to be flexible, it's literally one of the triats to be inflexible and rigid! Obviously doesn't mean all Neurodiverse people but that comment did make me 🙄

Fair point. I may take that advice. Saving up.

Steve bannon calls him racist and evil , isn't steven bannon like super racist himself! Isn't a good look!

When fascists fall out . . .

ah but I didn’t mean individually flexible, just look at the world in a different way, so offering a different perspective. Some neuro diverse people are highly flexible - I can weave round different perspectives

Weve got a prime minister who is publically faking he knows how to run a country. Most successful people are good at faking it.

Who says I support Elon?

I have no idea what your point is. Musk failed badly at faking so he is not successful?

So Elon musk is not successful?

Turns out Starmer is not very good at faking it either - markedly less successful than musk

I haven't been able to post for a few days and.....
just LOOK what has happened to my thread!

(sob)

Oh!

Were you just trying to segue into a dig at Starmer?

Is that how you read it?

.@raincoatwarmcoatlongcoat and?. Your lucky Elons name is still being mentioned, albeit in the arena of faking something in a computer game 🙄
