He owned plenty of black friends.
"I was friends with my slaves I barely raped any" - Says wealthy incestuous man
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".
Hitler had a Jewish doctor as a child. He liked him and saved him from the Holocaust. Good guy Hitler, amirite?
they were probably his only 'friends'.
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.
"Blacks are wonderful! I owned heaps of them, and they worked for free!"
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.
People post things as therapy, I know I do.
Posting insane things and hearing it recognized as such is a way to remind ourselves that we're still sane.
a few more epic quips and Elon will have to resign
Maybe we should do a throwback to him violating his working visa, that really converted a lot of Republicans to the left
yesss let's defeat him with right wing talking points!!

This is him not knowing what friends are like. A person being nice to you because of they don't they could lose their livelihood is not your friend.
A friend likes you for the person you are, and Musk is such an insufferable prick that he keeps pushing those away. Even the guys he tries to impress nowadays won't stick with him but think his money is handy. He's basically a cash cow getting milked and thinks that's friendship.
Wasn't his father a strong advocate for the apartheid?
He may have a bias
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!"
Wait, is his father defending him or calling him out?
