Elon Musk has slammed Humza Yousaf as a “super racist scumbag” and dared him to sue, amid reports that the former First Minister is mulling legal action over their escalating social media feud on X. The Telegraphhas more.
On Sunday, Mr. Musk effectively branded Mr. Yousaf a “dangerous race baiter” in response to the former SNP leader sharing an article in the Sunday Mail claiming that he was “considering all options”, including going to court.
The exchange came two days after Mr. Musk described Mr. Yousaf as a “super, super racist” and claimed that he “loathes white people”.
The comments were a response to an attack the ex-SNP leader had launched on Mr. Musk at the Edinburgh Fringe.
The allegations of racism against Mr. Yousaf by Mr. Musk date back to last year, when he responded to a three-year-old speech Mr. Yousaf gave at Holyrood at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Mr. Musk has repeated the racism allegation over recent days in response to Mr. Yousaf’s widely reported comments in the Scottish capital. …
On Sunday, Mr. Yousaf shared the report on X that had raised the prospect of him taking legal action. He accompanied the link to the news story by calling Mr. Musk a “dangerous race baiter” adding that “his billions won’t stop me calling out his support for the far-Right.”
Mr. Musk responded by agreeing with a comment in which another social media user told Mr. Yousaf it was he who was a “dangerous race baiter who must be held to account for your actions”.
Mr. Musk later added: “He’s obviously super racist against white people. I dare that scumbag to sue me. Go ahead, make my day…”

Funny that. —-A country consisting mostly of white people having a lot of white people in jobs. —-Yousaf must think the real world should be like TV adverts where you will never see an advert with 4 white people in it.
Having read all comments here at the time of writing, this is the first time ever as a DS reader that all bar one I found good enough to uptick.
And I am delighted that this is the only comment I feel the need to make.
Most satisfying and congrats those who have commented here for me everything I might have wanted to write myself if I could have thought of it.
I cringed when I listened to Yousaf banging on about how everyone holding some kind of office in Scotland was white. And congrats especially to varmint especially who made the only comment I thought of making.
It is worth qualifying that because according to the 2022 census:
The percentage of people in Scotland with a minority ethnic background increased from 8.2% in 2011 to 12.9% in 2022. This is a larger increase than over the previous decade (from 4.5% to 8.2%).
And of course you also have to factor in age – are people of non white ethnicity old enough to be in jobs holding office:
And then of course it takes time for ethnic minority families to have and raise children and get them the education to equip them for higher level employment and office.
But above all of that:
1) Yousaf was being cringingly an anti-white IMHO – which is the very reason why his speech got such attention – because it did seem racist;
2) which also suggests Musk has some justification for his remarks IMHO.
3) as a politician regardless of his ethnicity Yousaf is far from a role model as a failure who was forced to quit as First Minister after a very short time – although he seems to have outlasted a lettuce.
4) children of Indian and Pakistani nationality – of whom there are many in Scotland – tend to gain employment in the medical professions and in financial services – partly because these pay well compared to other employment.
Sensibly like many others they avoid politics preferring steady well-paid professional jobs.
Failure is ok. It just means you have failed. Failure can just be that you made mistakes. But Yousaf’s racist ranting about white people isn’t a mistake. He has said that his children won’t feel safe because of the rise of the “far right”. But I never saw any danger to children from the “far right” in Rotherham, and neither did this buffoon.
He has said that his children won’t feel safe because of the rise of the “far right”.
That’s because he isn’t really a man but a lab-grown artificial left-wring politician. The idea behind this is obviously that Adolf Hitler is about to return from the dead and take over Scotland, carefully camouflaged as the well-known extreme right winger (Remember that awful Rwanda plan!) Rishi Sunak and will then immediately start building extermination camps in the Highlands, round up all members of Yousaf’s extended famility and cruelly torture them all to death with endlessly repeated hourly COVID vaccinations.
This sounds silly when spelled out which is why it’s never done. These people have no political arguments and wouldn’t want to make any if they had them. All they want is jump onto a table, shout “Nazis! Nazis! Nazis! Nazis everwhere! Nazis! Nazis! Nazis! Nazis about to take over again!” in their most hysterical voice to get the same chanting going among the masses of brain-amputated gender-diverse poodles who form their following and thus, distract from who’s exactly paying for all these windmills and the needless hardship caused by indirectly smashing everything productive to bits by relentlessly driving up energy prices so that the profits keep rolling.
The whole shit show is presumably just a distraction which is supposed to last until there’ no more money to be had here.
They show what a bunch of absolute children they are. They’re comfortable when they’re bullying people and calling people names, but when someone is able to stand up to them all they can do is call them more names. They can’t take it when the shoe is on the other foot. It shows what an incredibly weak and stupid bunch of people it is that we’re actually dealing with.
Whatever flaws Musk may have I sincerely appreciate his belligerence on this and several other subjects. It’s not so easy to silence someone who is independently wealthy. That goes for JK too.

A civil war requires two or more sets of elites who are opposed to one another. As in the Crown and Parliament of the 17th century, the two noble factions of the Wars of the Roses, or those of the civil war known as The Anarchy of the 12th century.
No such division in the elites in Britain, Europe or North America exist today.
The discontent among the classes other than those of the educated in the official policies of the state today are more like that of Lollardy. A disturbance that caused no change among the settled beliefs of the hierarchy at that time.
Musk is an interesting case. I know some here are sceptical, doubtless with good reason, but something seems to have “triggered” him as they saying goes.
I think what triggered him was losing his son to the “woke mind virus”. This is a deeply personal, visceral thing. A far. far greater motivation than any intellectual analysis or attachment to an ideology.
Because his actions spring from good, honest, genuine human feeling, I trust him to do the right thing. He is not doing this for the money or the notoriety IMHO
You may well be right and I tend to agree about his motivation, which doesn’t mean I think he’s incapable of having ulterior motives for some of his actions, or that he’s a saint.
They cant even afford the paper. It is English taxpayers who will end up paying, as we do for everything in Scotland

The Leftards really excel themselves when it comes to the art of projection and consistently demonstrating what it is to be the textbook definition of a hypocrite, don’t they? This from that dreadful Lammy bloke in The Times. Apparently the ghettoized clans of Muslims that adhere to Sharia, not UK law, and live in their own parallel societies have got this ‘integration’ gig down to a fine art then;
”All parts of government are monitoring any attempts by foreign powers to exploit disorder or accelerate the spread of disinformation, and making clear to social media companies their responsibility to prevent crimes taking place on their platforms. We must all pay attention to this hybrid threat, far greater now than it was 13 years ago.
People often ask me, as the black MP for Tottenham, one of the world’s most diverse constituencies, about the question of integration. I believe passionately that people of all backgrounds need to integrate and need to live with their neighbours. The far right has shown it has forgotten this need to integrate. It has forgotten about what it means to be English: the north star of our values is tolerance and our beautiful country is held together by a constellation of values it has rejected. Respect for your neighbours. Respect for private property. Respect for the police. Those swept up in this disorder need to integrate back into Britishness — and out of this loathsome trending online hate.”
Nothing says ”we’re completely integrated and proud to be British” like not being able to walk down the street without being triggered by English patriots wearing Union Jacks. Racism only works one way though, when you’re a bloody racist yourself, as Lammy would know because he is one;
”In any other context this would be seen to be outrageous & national news. Two men wearing Union Flags walking through Leeds city centre are victims of an unprovoked racist attack, by Pakistani heritage men.
The only talent this hollow talentless prick possesses is race baiting. He’s built an entire career on it and it’s all he’s got. Just like Khan.

You are talking about imbecile A versus imbecile B. Both desperate for validation like a puppy wanting to be stroked. If you want to make things better then you might want to get your nose out of the gutter. We can do better than this crap.

What fun! Pakistani Muslim Humza is not used to anyone so openly and boldly defying him. After years of having his ego massaged by the SNP kneelers, it is hard for him to deal with being called out for his own racism and attempts to force Sharia Law upon Scotland.
Though I still wouldn’t trust Elon Musk as far as I could throw him, he has bravely spoken out for Truth and Justice again and again, all over the world, and for that he deserves praise. It’s wonderful when people speak their mind freely.
Speaking our minds freely is all we ask, to be on a level playing field without the constant and unjustified slur labels thrown at us. There is fundamentally nothing wrong with being white male middle class!
What perplexes me (whether i agree or disagree with his pronouncements) is why Elon Musk has decided to start making comments about UK politics all of a sudden. What’s in it for him. Have I missed something obvious? I’d welcome enlightenment…
It cuts both ways. Some puffed up person in the EU is threatening X, specifically Musk’s interview with Trump, so the EU are directly interfering with US politics.
On this occasion what is happening in the UK under the Starmführer is ahead of the USA so that may be one reason.
Another is Musk has switched politics since the death of his son to what he calls the ‘woke mind virus’ and is now a powerful supporter of Trump’s campaign which he generously funds on a monthly basis with millions of dollars.
There is without a shadow of doubt a problem with the Left in the UK and the USA.
The Left has always been the easiest political group to infiltrate and manipulate by malevolent actors and we are seeing that in spades now as it all comes together for them,

It was ” Useless” who instigated the Scottish hate law, a back door for islamaphobia. His speech,content and particularly the snarling tone, I felt at the time was racist. I doubt Elon needs crowdfunding for this campaign!
The same applies to the Far Left on the streets in their droves.
They are hate marchers calling for death to all Israelis from the river to the sea.
Put the boot on the other foot and imagine it is the Gazans and Hamas and Hezbollah who historically have had the sophisticated weaponry to wage war and not the Israelis.
There is no doubt whatsoever that today there would be no Israel and no Israelis.
So why have the Far Left protestors been coming out onto UK streets for months to support genocide?
And why have the British Police stood back and let them do it?
It is racism and hate and anti-semitism all rolled up in one.
And Starmer supports it all because he is weak and has a Far Left to placate despite a Jewish wife [or so we are told].

It is an insult to compare/contrast one of the smartest engineers in the planet to an angry, has been politician. The two simply are not in the same league. I do not understand why Elon would even respond to humza’s taunting.

The establishment don’t really know how to deal with people who aren’t afraid of them, do they?
It’s like watching a bully get punched back and then start crying.
“I can’t think of what upsets him so much about a brown, Muslim, progressive politician”
Er…did he say anything about him being “brown” or Muslim?
Is this perhaps the end of immunity from accusations of racism for “brown” and Muslim people? I’m sure that terrifies Yousaf.
Yousaf’s self regard is simply nauseating when you consider his abject failure at everything he has touched.
I wouldn’t say he’s completely failed at everything, he is responsible for one of the best laughs ever when he fell off that scooter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVsD7mKHlDM
A classic.
Wow— the scooter even had four wheels for extra stability, and he still managed to fall off. Priceless video.
Failure is ok. It just means you have failed. Failure can just be that you made mistakes. But Yousaf’s racist ranting about white people isn’t a mistake. He has said that his children won’t feel safe because of the rise of the “far right”. But I never saw any danger to children from the “far right” in Rotherham, and neither did this buffoon.

Wunderbar.——-I have to live in the Socialist Republic of Scotlandia so I know exactly what you mean.
That’s why they don’t like Trump and Farage and Rowling, among others.
They show what a bunch of absolute children they are. They’re comfortable when they’re bullying people and calling people names, but when someone is able to stand up to them all they can do is call them more names. They can’t take it when the shoe is on the other foot. It shows what an incredibly weak and stupid bunch of people it is that we’re actually dealing with.
Musk is indeed dangerous, to people like Yousaf who don’t like freedom of speech because it threatens their power and privilege.

Well said. Very well said! I was wondering why he had changed, and you have nailed it!
Come on Elon… Don’t you know that only a white person can be racist…..
Oh no hurty words, what next a dance off? Or more MMA action….
Who is going to pay for his legal action? Not the Scottish tax payer I hope.
They cant even afford the paper. It is English taxpayers who will end up paying, as we do for everything in Scotland
