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!

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.

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?

By percentage or by absolute numbers. Because only % will give a useful figure.

Just “be kind”….

Yes it is terrible. But if you think white men do not do this too you are much mistaken.

Incorrect. There are more white than non-white gangs. The jury is out on whether non-whites are over-represented percentage wise.

By %. Asians make up 14%. Which is quite some distance from a majority of offenders.

The assumption that this is mainly a Pakistani Muslim issue is really quite dangerous for victims of other grooming gangs who risk getting their voices heard even less if people are assuming if the people doing the grooming aren’t Pakistani it isn’t an issue when it is reported.

This exchange reminds me of the clip of the BBC journalist who couldn’t find one example of racist content on his Twitter/X feed after telling Elon there had been a massive increase in posts of that nature on the platform. When challenged he couldn’t back up his claim.

And yet it is in their DEI policy.

It isn't my policy. You can go look it up.

It is most definitely how it works. I cannot believe that people think Elon Musk has any real interest in the girls abused and raped by these gangs

The FAA is hiring people with disabilities, yes. They are not fucking hiring visually impaired trainee pilots just because they are black. Pilots have to undergo mandatory health checks before they are certified to fly, there are standards for vision you need to meet. Do you seriously think United Airlines is going to put passenger lives at risk for a substandard diversity hire? Honestly, use the common sense you were born with.

Reform MPs (all 5 of them) are of course well known for their towering intellects and incisive critical thinking.

I, for one, cannot wait to hear 30p Lee's latest rhetorical masterclass in the House. He will indeed 'stick it to Starmer', I'm sure.

The whole idea of ‘sticking it to Starmer’ is absolutely pathetic.

I think you need to look up the definition of “could not” as distinct from “Will not”.

My explanation was fairly clear.

When asked for comment on the initiative, including what roles people with disabilities would fulfill, the FAA told Fox News Digital that the agency thoroughly seeks and vets qualified candidates “from as many sources as possible” for a range of positions.
“The FAA employs tens of thousands of people for a wide range of positions, from administrative roles to oversight and execution of critical safety functions. Like many large employers, the agency proactively seeks qualified candidates from as many sources as possible, all of whom must meet rigorous qualifications that of course will vary by position,” the FAA said.

So not overlooking back office accountants just because they are a leg amputee, yes. Hiring blind fucking pilots, no.

It’s even more dangerous than that, he has made X a platform of hate. He allows far right extremists to get blue tick status and his algorithm pushes racist content to people who have viewed extremist content.

As above, Musk has made X a platform of hate. He allows far right extremists to get blue tick status and his algorithm pushes racist content to people who have viewed extremist content.

Oh dear.

Oh god, another new poster with a thread bigging up Musk.

I don’t think we’d had one for half an hour before this one started so it was long overdue.

Funny how you're not asking those who claim the majority of grooming gangs are Muslim for published statistics but just taking their claims as fact.

Bankroll.
