Elon Musk defended 'Dilbert' creator Scott Adams after hundreds of newspapers stopped printing the comic strip because of Adams' recent racist comments.

Elon Musk defended “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams after hundreds of newspapers stopped printing the comic strip because of Adams’ recent racist comments. Last week, Adams called Black Americans a “hate group” and suggested that White people should “get the hell away” from them. Adams effectively encouraged segregation in a shocking rant on his YouTube channel.

Specifically, the Center for Countering Digital Hate said that daily use of the n-word under Musk is triple the 2022 average and the use of slurs against gay men and trans persons are up 58% and 62%, respectively. The Anti-Defamation League said in a separate report that its data shows “both an increase in antisemitic content on the platform and a decrease in the moderation of antisemitic posts.

'Racist tirade.' Definitely was not this.

elonmusk

Musk is a racists himself

Another misleading headline!!

200,000 lives Putin has extinguished, when is a FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTIST gonna say it’s time for Putin to kick the bucket?!?!

This is what Bingy had to say about the topic bing found another Bingy learning disability

Musk thinks he's Henry Ford 2.0.

If Mr. Musk puts Dilbert on Twitter, I’m dumping all his businesses…

Birds of a feather….

Apartheid Musk at it again. Never a Tesla.

elonmusk

Telsa’s design is old and tired and so is Elon.

CollegeBoard capitulated, caved & cowered when LilCastro GovRonDeSantis wanted to ban books & whitewash history. Now they say MeatballRon duped them? 🙄 Take action & move the readings out of Tampa AP_Trevor! TeachTheTruth DeSantisDestroysFlorida BlackHistoryMonth

CALLED IT!!!

To all White people: Don’t say what you think.

Defending from what cnn?

Of course he did.

Scott Adams decided to jump the shark after the malaise of writing the same stupid and boring comic strip for years. It was a last ditch effort to stay relevant and it blew back in grand style with the shark ripping his balls off.

Why is no one mad at the racist poll he was commenting on... If you replace the word 'white' for the word 'black' in what he said you would have a primetime spot on CNN before morning... But OK...

come on elon a lil credit where due right? lol

What liars! He didn't tweet anything supporting it. You people are so disgusting. Just basically used snake oil salesman

SPACE KAREN TO THE RESCUE -- TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!

Good for him.

🤮

Wow! Who would've thought the South African would defend someone that essentially called for self-imposed apartheid.

Of course he did 🙄

Most Americans agree with him.

Those 2 nazis should make out.

Maybe racists like racists.

Birds of a feather

Of course he does.

Any comments on the poll and it's results?

Musk is a racist so no surprise

Who remembers their mother saying if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it. I still follow that rule.

Of course.

Well, it's a free country apparently so if Musk wants to offer his support I believe he has the right to do so.

He's not wrong ... a lot of people are very concerned about the level of violence and vitriol and they prefer to avoid it all and and stick to themselves.

Defending free speech is a sin among liberal oppressors

I believe Musk is defending Adams because the Adams bit was parody of the broad SPLC and ADL 'hate group' definitions. It also called out the black community for their racism. This is protected political speech. They don't actually think that black people constitute a hate group.

Personally I'm not one to quickly accuse people of racism but what Scott Adams said was racist I every definition of the word.

no surprise that elonmusk supports racism... just check out his factories....

Imagine being so insanely rich you actually could make anactual positive difference in this world, but this is what you chose to do.

It seems that you can't take the apartheid out of Elon.

A Racist truely knows One!! 🤢🤢🤢

All the bots defending racism against white people

Right on character.

“Racist” yeah okay

Palellionaire Supports Hatebert should be your headline. Both spend way too much time sheltered indoors. Stay away from black people? I don't think they are used to being around people. (Other than those they can talk down to).

It didn't help.

All he’s doing by stubbornly digging in with the fascist cult is ensuring that half of America will buy their EV from someone else.

No he didn't. He literally said the media is racist. That's all. You are.

push that narrative much?

Funny…under Trump we didn’t see so much of this hatred! But under Biden’s divisive policies and Dems crime stance … hatred abounds. Close borders, enforce crime laws and reverse cash less bail! No free policies sll will go a long way to restoring balance for all

Racist trash defends racist trash. This is hardly news.

He said the media was racist. Wich is true.

Of course he did

elonmusk

Musk’s ongoing and constant choosing of the wrong side speaks volumes. Wonder when people will start to let the “genius man of the people” nonsense go? There is nothing remarkable, or fantastical about the man. He’s just an opportunist. ElonMusk

What would anyone expect from a person whose money is rooted in the abuse of black people? Musk has always been a racist.

Elon is disgusting

Protecting a racist is embracing his opinions.

I think we all knew Elon was a racist... he was kind of raised that way in South Africa...
