“Blacks are wonderful! I owned heaps of them, and they worked for free!”

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!”

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.

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

“I was friends with my slaves I barely raped any” - Says wealthy incestuous man

He owned plenty of black friends.

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.

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.

He may have a bias

they were probably his only ‘friends’.
