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 Friday night.
The full speech, which is nearly 10 minutes long, was delivered during a debate on racial injustice in Scotland sparked by global protests over racism following George Floyd’s murder at the hands of police officer Derek Chauvin. Supporters of Yousaf stepped in too, with Mikey Stewart writing: “Your reaction is completely wrong. You’ve been baited by a racist.Yousaf was featured on the cover of Time Magazine earlier this month
"In Scotland, I am proud we are a welcoming nation and our diversity is seen as one of our greatest strengths." He added:"I know that the overwhelming majority of people in Scotland want to live in a country where all minority groups are not just protected, but accepted for who they are – and as First Minister I’m determined to use the office to help build a country where all of our citizens live a life free from hatred."We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
