I don’t know, maybe there’s a reason to pay attention to an overt racist who is one of the richest people in the world with his own massive social media platform who uses it to influence politics across the globe?

Maybe it’s just me, but that sounds like it’s sort of an important thing to pay attention to?

Sure. Here’s one example.

But go ahead and explain to me how Jews aren’t white.

Jews can be white. Being jewish is a religion. His comment (or the one he supported) is targeted at that religious group. No statement of hatred towards a skin color, specifically. This is potentially antisemitic, perhaps bigotry, but not racist.

Any other examples? Elon is a douche, but not every douche is a racist.
