Musk's Dad Tries To Prove He's Not Racist By Making Things So Much Worse For Elon - Farron Balanced

Elon Musk's father, Errol, was contacted by The Washington Post to answer questions about why his son is so hostile towards Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs. Errol attempted to claim that his son isn't racist for opposing these things, but he did so by telling the Post in an email that his son used to be friends with many of the "black servants" that the wealthy family kept in South Africa. That's definitely not better, as Farron Cousins explains.

Being besties with Elon was probably an "upside" for the Musk family's black servants.
