Summary
Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX, accused "the media" and "elite colleges and high schools" of being "racist" against white and Asian people without providing evidence. This was in response to news that media organizations around U.S. decided to cut comic strip "Dilbert" after its creator, Scott Adams, disparaged Black people in racist rant on his YouTube channel. Tesla has been repeatedly sued for racial discrimination and lost high-profile lawsuit over anti-Black harassment endured by former worker in California. Musk's comments drew criticism from civil rights leaders and hundreds of Twitter's top advertisers have since halted or pulled back on ad spending there.
