“For a *very* long time, U.S. media was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites & Asians,” Elon Musk tweeted.
Elon Musk called the media racist after a cartoonist he regularly engages with on Twitter faced blowback for encouraging white Americans to avoid Black people.
Newspaper publishers, including Gannett Co.’s USA Today Network, denounced the comments and said they’ll no longer publish Adams’ cartoons, which satirize office culture. When another account on the social network Musk owns spoke out against coverage of Adams, Musk replied: “The media is racist.” Musk unsettled many Black users of Twitter Inc. last year by repeatedly saying past management had gone too far in moderating content on the platform, and had infringed on free speech as a result. Shortly after taking over the company, he made fun of #StayWoke T-shirts he found at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters that dated back to the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement.
