Musk supports Dilbert against media
Appears like he is letting his South African mask slip. Hopefully this will help motivate people away from Twitter, Tesla, and fewer government contracts.

Twitter and Tesla chief Elon Musk defended Scott Adams, the under-fire creator of “Dilbert,” in a series of tweets Sunday, blasting media organizations for dropping his comic strip after Adams said that White people should “get the hell away from Black people.”

Replying to tweets about the controversy, Musk said it is actually the media that is “racist against whites & Asians.” He offered no criticism of Adams’s comments, in which the cartoonist called Black people a “hate group” and said, “I don’t want to have anything to do with them.”

The selish oppressor likes his oppression. Wants it to be more extreme.
 
My theory is the media hate white people beucase they feel guilty having to report crime of which the purputrators are often black. It's sort of this perveted idea of giving stereotypes and biases equal time.

Banishing a cartoonist who said whites should self-segregate from blacks reflects a hatred of white people?

The journalists don't do the banning.
 
Of course some people are against whites. Take a Fox News viewer who thinks Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump is "Good for the USA."
Blend in with ignorant facts, quote some obscure ridiculous Bible sentence, selfish as can be, No Empathy with a chip on his/her shoulder?
Yeah, I'm don't like their asses either...
 
I have read that the cartoonist under discussion is very wealthy.

So maybe that is why he decided to throw caution to the wind and state his frank opinion.

Most people, of course, need a paycheck, so they would have wisely kept their mouths shut.

Young people who have their futures ahead of them would be wise to keep their mouths shut on this topic.

(Although I am a computer illiterate old man, I understand that prospective employers can discover what you have posted on the Internet years ago.)

Not just self segregating but (pardon the language) " get the **** away."

I went and listened to the podcast in question and the subsequent one and its Scott Adams being Scott Adams. The guy draws the Dilbert strip. If you dont get Dilbert you wont get Scott Adams. Much ado about nothing and brilliant trolling Scott Adams. He's a cool cat. He doesn't seem to be phased in the least about the situation.
 
Sounds like he has ODd on faux like so many before him.

I listened to his spiel as well. Thats about a 9 on the racist troll scale.
 
Years ago I said more and more Musk was reminding me of Howard Hughes...

Brilliant business man but as time goes by he, like Hughes might start to lose touch with reality..

We're seeing that happening now... Obviously because of technology and social media Musk might cause more damage to his companies and his legacy...

When Hughes was losing touch he was mostly kept out of sight, that's not going to happen with Musk..

What would stop him? Does the Constitution spell out what happens to a presidential candidate if they aren’t qualified and win anyways?

It's a good question. I've asked it several times but have never really heard a definitive answer.

Musk is a racist from South Africa. Nothing he says has any value.

You must be born in the U.S. to be president of the U.S. Yes, it's in the Constitution.

And if you aren’t and you run and win anyways? What happens?

It goes to the 5-4 majority conservative Supreme Court who won’t want to hand the election to a Democrat?

It goes to impeachment before a Congress without a Democratic supermajority and Republicans who won’t impeach a Republican?

How would run? Indy? The Musk Party? And I doubt his name would/could be put on any ballots.. So all votes for him would have to be write-ins..

No chance of him winning.. And that's not even considering the legal challenges he'd face...
