ELON Musk has accused Scotland’s First Minister of being a “racist” after watching a viral video of Humza Yousaf discussing racial injustice.
Musk, whose ownership of Twitter/X has been mired in controversy over disinformation and platforming of hate speech, attacked Yousaf on social media on Thursday night.
In the video, Yousaf says “most senior positions in Scotland are filled almost exclusively by people who are white” – listing examples like the Lord Justice Clerk, Solicitor General, and other senior figures in political and civic life. On Thursday night, Musk responded to the clip – which had been viewed more than six million times – writing: “What a blatant racist!”
Musk’s accusations come after Yousaf was featured on the cover of Time Magazine earlier this month as part of a special on 10 “trailblazers shaping the future”. "In Scotland, I am proud we are a welcoming nation and our diversity is seen as one of our greatest strengths."
