Elon Musk was born and raised in South Africa’s apartheid government. You can take a white supremacist out of South Africa but you can’t take South Africa’s history of apartheid out of a white supremacist.

While commenting on a true human tragedy, Musk uses anything to distract from what actually occurred. To make himself the victim in a glorious and modern feat of transubstantiation.

The former Marine killed an innocent man, policing someone who needed help, not punitive action from an individual not authorized or empowered to do anything but what any normal person would do. Call 911.

No one's life was at stake and if he (the tough Marine) feared for his own, his DI should cringe in shame and smack this pogue warrior about. The shitbird grabbed a man from behind, placed him in a choke hold and killed him.

Shitbird is what we Marines call one of our own who is, less than satisfactory we'll say.

As for Musk, can we conclude that he is somewhat, biased perhaps?

Kudos to Judd and Tesnim for continuing on a daily basis to supply this forum with much needed and accurate reportage. We are in your debt!

“Musk is clinging to anything he reads that suggests the media has an anti-white bias. But the evidence suggests the opposite is true. “

Elon Musk is an Afrikaner, and white South African, born and raised there. You know, the Country of Apartheid fame. We’d I say more?

This is a very interesting article. You have offered up facts I was unaware of and with regard to Mr. Musk, well it is evident where he is coming from.

Good points, but I just don’t take anything Musk says or does seriously. The man is an egotistical wind bag. Unfortunately there is little common sense a do to change the views of his far right followers. They feel cheated, why I don’t know, and are very satisfied complaining about their self inflicted woes.

The only problem with this is "The far right, unable to defend Penny's conduct..." I'm seeing plenty of defenses of the Subway Strangler's conduct -- as in this bizarre thread with Thomas Chatterton Williams scraping hard for an "imminent danger" angle https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1655713841735499779?s=46&t=LFoKWR1z2BVEIQEHJhZfpA

I'm convinced that Elon only bought Twitter so he'd have a soapbox to perform on. Like DJT he says and does the outrageous to maintain an audience. You can put both of them in the same box. Nutty self-serving lunatics who should NOT get the ink and breaking news! They are both unhinged pariahs.

It is a disquieting reminder that especially now, during the so called information age, MSM as well as any media, are less and less intent on uncovering and ensuring truth. Money buys mouthpieces, and a lot of money buys the loudest. Musk and Murdoch demonstrate this daily.

Elon Musk is the Henry Ford of our times.

Maybe we should simply stop paying attention to Elon Musk? He's not a god and he's clearly biased when it comes to anything race related. I think we know which way he leans...

What these charts don't show is the billionaire on people, billionaire on climate, billionaire on housing crimes. And they are immoral and unjust. And the little man w/ the Twit followers is a case in point.

Thanks for this.

I've been seeing this weird obsession with black on black violence popping up in comments, and it seems a weird thing to be obsessed with. After all, America is segregated, and crime is committed by the people you live with.

But now I understand the racist narrative that it serves.

Elon Musk, a true apartheid South African! How fitting that he'd transfer his conscious and unconscious bias to the anti Black racism of America. Your exposure of his literally distorted "facts" contributes to our understanding of how deep and unrelentingly false Musk's thinking is!

Cherry picking statistics is exactly what I would expect from a malignant narcissist like Musk. He was born into racist culture, and due to the fact that he isn't the genius he thinks he is, has not escaped that paradigm made up of hate. As a former marine, I'm all for charging Daniel Penny. He stole a life without any valid reason for doing so.

Growing up rich and white in apartheid South Africa has hard-wired Elon Musk as a white supremacist. I don't understand why anyone who has any self respect would continue to use Twitter or buy a Tesla. The excuses people make for using Twitter are just that - excuses. Why is Twitter so important when you know you're giving a bullhorn to a racist screwball?

I deactivated Twitter when it came out Musk was buying it. I kept waiting for the sale to fall through and I would rejoin. It didn't, so I didn't. I get articles from different publications about Musk and what he's done or said now, but I really couldn't care less. I don't read them. This latest is him showing his white supremacy once more. Anyone that listens to him and more importantly believes him, has to be a white supremacist themselves. Heaven forbid anyone research anything for themselves. They take what these ash holes say as facts. You can't tell them otherwise, they don't comprehend facts.

I don't know New York City. I've never been on a subway. I am a human being though. I always carry water with me, because I'm always drinking water. Jordan Neely hollers out he's thirsty? I would have gladly given him my water. Out of all those people, you're going to tell me no one had a granola bar or a candy bar on them? Nobody? When this piece of shite grabbed Jordan from behind, I'd have jumped on the 2 of them. It's my understanding the choke hold lasted several minutes. Passengers did nothing? Oh wait. Lemme guess. There's video, right?

This was murder. Anyone who says differently doesn't belong to the human race.
