Elon Musk seemed to defend 'Dilbert' creator Scott Adams in a now deleted tweet after Adams claimed Black people are a 'hate group.'

Billionaire Elon Musk came to the defense of Dilbert creator Scott Adams after Adams's recent racist rant resulted in his getting dropped from newspapers.

Media outlets made the decision to drop Adams' longtime comic strip from circulation after Adams called Black people “a hate group” and advised White people to “get the hell away” from them because of his belief Blacks are inherently racist against Whites.


Musk tweeted, “What exactly are they complaining about?” in response to the cartoonist's post about newspapers dropping his long-running strip.

Musk later deleted the tweet but why he did so is still unclear.

Not long afterward, Musk criticized the media for being "racist" in its reporting of Adams' citing a recent Rasmussen poll which found that 53 percent of the Black respondents agreed with the statement “It’s okay to be white."

Musk, responding to the conservative-aligned Twitter account Monitoring Bias—which claims to provide "unwoke" analysis of data regarding "culture wars and institutional bias against white and Asian people in America"—wrote:

"The media is racist."
"For a very long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they're racist against whites [and] Asians. Same thing happened with elite colleges [and] high schools in America. Maybe they can try not being racist."

Musk never outright condemned Adams' remarks and his efforts to scrub his responses from Twitter did not go unnoticed.

Many have criticized Musk for defending the Dilbert creator and suggested he still holds racist views he internalized growing up in apartheid-era South Africa.


Adams continues to face heavy blowback for his remarks.

Andrews McMeel Universal (AMU)—the longtime distributor for Dilbertannounced it was cutting ties to Adams and his strip because of incompatible “vision and principles” after Adams' issued his remarks.

AMU said it "values free speech" and is "proud to promote and share many different voices and perspectives" but said it "will never support any commentary rooted in discrimination or hate," adding that Adams' comments about race “do not align with our core values.”

Lauren Boebert Casts Doubt On Moon Landing During Wild Interview With Conspiracy Theorist

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was criticized after she seemingly agreed with the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked in a wide-ranging interview with conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Stein.

The segment began with the duo casting doubt on nuclear weapons—Boebert even joked about needing "tin foil"—and moved into weirder territory when Stein praised Boebert for "vibing" with him on the topic of the moon landing. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.
