Musk is only doing this because Floyd was black.
I genuinely dont think he cares about that. Well, maybe he does, but that’s ancillary. I think he wants the civil unrest. It’s an amazing smoke shield so that he can get away with all sort of nonsense. If the news cycle is clogged with articles about this and retaliatory protests that’s less eyes on him gutting systems and enriching himself
Musk was 19 when apartheid in South Africa ended.
As in, lily white Musk lived for 19 years as an heir to a blood emerald mine in apartheid South Africa.
There is simply no way he isn't racist. I would believe Trump isn't racist before believing Elon isn't.
I phrased it poorly by saying I genuinely don’t think he cares about that. I agree with you. what I mean is I don’t think that’s his primary goal. I think it’s a nice bonus that he also gets to absolve a fellow racist
