Musk Deflects Criticism of Dilbert Cartoonist’s Racist Comments

Musk waded into the controversy, first by responding to Adams, who quote-tweeted a Washington Post columnist encouraged by the newspaper dropping Dilbert. “What exactly are they complaining about?” Musk asked in a post he later deleted.

When another account on the social network Musk owns spoke out against coverage of Adams, Musk replied: “The media is racist.”

“For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites & Asians,” Musk said in another post. “Same thing happened with elite colleges & high schools in America. Maybe they can try not being racist.”

Musk unsettled many Black users of Twitter Inc. last year by repeatedly saying past management had gone too far in moderating content on the platform, and had infringed on free speech as a result. Shortly after taking over the company, he made fun of #StayWoke t-shirts he found at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters that dated back to the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement.

1. Damn it! It is not any -ism

Perhaps humanism, polite-ism, kindness-ism, certainly moral-ism.

2. I care, not an iota, what Musk says about anything.

3. I've heard the arguments against it, but it is time to run, not walk, away from Twittter

If Twitter is so important to our ability to communicate and conduct social discourse, one or more alternatives can and will arise to fill that void if Twitter goes down in flames. Human nature abhors a vacuum. We don't have to continue to prop up the mega ego of a mega billionaire who uses his platform daily to condone and further hate and those who undermine our democracy.

4. Musk is a racist, and why I will never buy a Tesla as long as he is part of that company. I suspect

he had no problem with apartheid from his South African roots either

7. Well, Well, Well.......The jerk opened his mouth again. Supporting Adams now is very stupid..

He does not care about the downfall of Tesla.

If I recall correctly, he sold a good deal of the stock recently. (or not so recently)

Like Trump, he is too stlupid to know when to shut up. Musk doesn't care, because he knows he
can get away with it.. (like Trump)
