Elon Musk Complains About Non-White Comics Characters

Elon Musk continued his campaign against “woke” on Thursday by posting a meme that showed a number of fictional characters that have been race-swapped in other adaptations.

The petty complaint that white characters — which were created primarily when white men were almost exclusively in charge of creating things — were being portrayed by non-white actors is not a new one. It was done to be more inclusive and represent more of the world outside our window, which is something Marvel’s very own Stan Lee said often.

None of these characters are real. Not one of them. They never had races or genders. And there are way more effective ways to tell people you’re racist than by whining about imaginary creatures.

And there are way more effective ways to tell people you’re racist than by whining about imaginary creatures.

I dunno, fulminating about the race of fictitious characters strikes me as remarkably efficient. They don't even exist and their nonwhite skin still threatens you? Yep, you're a racist.

… sssh, nobody tell him about the Spider-Verse movies, where there’s HUNDREDS of different Spider-Men, many of which are non-white, including the Afro-Nuyorican protagonist Miles Morales.


Also, you know that this isn’t a person who particularly cares about fidelity to the source material because he’s complaining about Heimdall being played by Idris Elba, but is suspiciously silent on Thor not bring played by a ginger with a big, bushy beard.

Also worth noting, the sheer lack of Velma in that meme is honestly surprising given how much of a punching bag it’s been for the “anti-woke” crowd, even though the more diverse casting is clearly the least of its problems.

LoL what a dumbass.

Elon Musk blames people of color for the global tech outage

Elon Musk wasted no time in finding a convenient scapegoat for the global IT outage caused by a botched software update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.

“Not very ‘bright’ right now, is it?” Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter, Friday morning in reply to a more than two years old post from CrowdStrike. In that post, the Austin, Texas-based firm said it was proud to be a “Gold Partner” of recruiting company Bright Network’s panel on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

It’s an on-brand pivot for the Tesla CEO, who has made diversity initiatives a frequent target for his criticism.

Tesla dropped language referencing diversity from its annual shareholder report just weeks after Musk tweeted that DEI is “just another word for racism.” The billionaire has also been criticized for claiming that Boeing’s issues with the 737 Max 9 were caused by hiring too many non-white pilots and factory workers.

In an interview with former CNN host Don Lemon in March, Musk accused Duke University of “literally” lowering its standards for students to promote more diverse candidates, although he could not provide any evidence for his assertion. Duke has said it has not lowered its standards and continues to rely on GPA and MCAT scores.

He's a white South African. Par for the course.

There are reports of raccoons trying to break into cybertrucks. The consensus is that the animals are mistaking them for dumpsters.

After "challenging" putin to a fight he can't really say anything dumber but boy does he try.

Seems like his $45M/mo “donations” are blackmail payments to keep the Epstein tapes under wraps.

Elon Musk’s X Is Reportedly Resisting a Subpoena in Jeffrey Epstein-Related Legal Case

X (the website formerly known as Twitter) is reportedly stonewalling subpoena requests related to a legal case involving dead financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Why? Nobody knows, but it sure is weird.

According to Business Insider, the social media platform refuses to give up information about one of the accounts linked to an Epstein accuser, a woman named Rina Oh Amen. The legal case is otherwise unrelated to the platform itself, instead it involves a spat between Oh Amen and another Epstein accuser, the more well-known Virginia Giuffre.

While both women claim to have been victimized by Epstein, the dispute between them involves mutual accusations that they also participated in Epstein’s criminal activities.

Insider reports:

[Ghislaine] Maxwell recruited Giuffre at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida in 2000, bringing her to Epstein. Giuffre has blamed Oh Amen for participating in the abuse by sexually and physically abusing her in the early 2000s. In 2021, Oh Amen sued Giuffre, alleging Giuffre defamed her with those claims.
