- andsoitis 3y agoThe person I replied to claimed that Musk is racist without providing any evidence. Unless you disagree that everyone holds unintentional racist views because of implicit bias (https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-40124781 https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-40124781) I am curious why Musk is being singled out as being more racist than the average person. I think people’s actions speak louder than words, and unless he is also intentionally funding institutions or causes that actively perpetuate racism or racist systems, I’m not convinced of the purity of intention behind the accusation. If he is such a big racist, why would the Biden administration contract SpaceX? What judgment would you pass on them? So I’ll repeat again, because I want to educate myself: what is the evidence of Musk’s racism?
