Elon Musk Thinks U.S. Media Is Racist "Against Whites & Asians"

Since taking over as Twitter's CEO, Elon Musk's posts on the social media platform have been undeniably controversial. Ever the advocate for free speech, the South African engineer's latest scandal finds him coming to the aid of a famous cartoonist who's become known as a racist. As Salon reports, Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip, has been dropped by hundreds of newspapers across the nation for making damaging comments about the Black community in a now-viral video.




It all began when the artist shared the latest episode of his YouTube series, Real Coffee with Scott Adams. At the time, he repeatedly shared his thoughts that Black people are part of a "racist hate group." He appears to have fallen into the school of thought after seeing Rasmussen Reports' poll revealing that a reported 53% of Black Americans agreed with the statement, "It's OK to be white."

Scott Adams Controversy

If Scott Adams wasn't a cruel, racist, heinously insensitive asshole... it might've worked out differently.

This isn't wokeness.
This isn't political correctness.
This isn't cancel culture.
This is consequences.

See the difference?pic.twitter.com/urlYKtMY00

Elsewhere in his post, Adams revealed that he no longer plans to "help Black Americans" before advising other white people to "get the hell away from Black people." In wake of the Dilbert doodler being cancelled by social media users far and wide, plenty of debate has been flying - chiefly on Twitter. "If Scott Adams wasn't a cruel, racist, heinously insensitive asshole... it might've worked out differently," actor William Baldwin wrote in a condemning post.




"This isn't wokeness, this isn't political correctness, this isn't cancel culture. This is consequences. See the difference?" he pointed out to followers. Of course, the number of critics Adams has is steadily growing, but luckily for him, one of the biggest accounts on Twitter is coming to his rescue. On Sunday (February 26), Elon Musk turned the tables with a tweet suggesting that there are bigger issues to deal with as far as racism goes.

Elon Musk Chimes In

For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they're racist against whites & Asians.

Same thing happened with elite colleges & high schools in America.

Maybe they can try not being racist.

In response to a tweet from @MonitoringBias, declaring that "Adams is a racist, but not the 20 million Black people who think it's not OK to be white," the 51-year-old shared his opinion that, "the media is racist." Musk went on to say, "For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they're racist against whites and Asians."




He then noted that the same thing previously happened with elite colleges and high schools around the country. "Maybe they can try not being racist," the controversial public figure wrote, leading to further debate. What do you think of Elon Musk's take on modern-day racism?
