    I truly thought this was The Onion as it is just so perfectly satirical… Dude is literally saying the racist emerald mine heir version of “he’s not racist, he had black friends!”

    Hitler had a Jewish doctor as a child. He liked him and saved him from the Holocaust. Good guy Hitler, amirite?

    Yeah, he’s a needy kid desperate to be liked.

    When he was a child, the black servants were easy access to approval or kindness.

    As an adult owner of X, the most racist, fascist, misogynist people on earth are his easy access to approval and positive re-enforcement.

    This is the same thing that happened to JK Rowling. They just gravitate towards whomever is giving them the positive feelings they want, and then turn against those that dare chastise them for something as innocent as being a billionaire.

    He also reportedly told the paper that Musk had several Black friends.

    The ole “I have black friends” defense. Every racist ace up the sleeve.

      You mean:

      I had black servants who had no choice but to be my “friends”.

    Why are people on Lemmy obsessed with posting everything about people they hate? Don’t you have some people you want to support you’d rather give the free advertising to instead?

      Elon is putting a chainsaw to the government. We’re not just going to sit here and ignore him while he ruins our lives. The hate is justified.
