        ‘White leftists are even worse than non-leftist, non-white people’ or ‘all non-white people are bad and only leftists are worse’

          Musk doesnt say that he is racist himself. He speaks for people who are racist. He says that if you must be racist then at least remember that white leftists are the worst, so stay a bit sober in your raging racism.

          It can mean that it confirms white superiority in worseness or it undermines it because it makes some whites the underclass.

          I think Musk doesn’t see white leftists from a racist perspective but from a systemic perspective. Western, white, leftists have stopped to fight for communism. They are used to destroy the benefits of free markets with regulations, without fighting for the liberation of the workers.

          This should strongly be linked with wokeness. Leftists are lost in fights for values while the upper class takes everybody’s political rights and access to resources. That’s what people in the west do, aka whites, and not people in third world countries.

          So he is saying that one shouldn’t get lost in racism while a classwar is waging. It’s against his class, so there is another comment possible for his motivation.

          Musk can still be racist because all his children are white.

              I see that people read it differently but is that a fair interpretation? Musk won’t perceive white leftists as race traitors, especially not if they are just the original leftists. White leftists is something else. What does they mean to Musk if it is not wokeness?

              Shoot the messenger. What is racist or loony about trying to make sense out of Musk?
