Who the hell appointed Elon Musk to be the loudest defender of white males?
From the second the South Africa native took over what was as soon as referred to as Twitter in 2022, the wealthiest human being on Earth has let neo-Nazi accounts flourish whereas repeating their insistence that white males are an endangered species because the world grows extra numerous and minorities assume positions of energy.
In 2023, Musk accused South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa of “overtly pushing for genocide of white individuals in South Africa” as a result of political opponents sang an apartheid-era anti-Boer tune throughout a rally. That very same 12 months, Musk posted, “You have got mentioned the precise reality,” to a person who claimed Jews supported unchecked migration to be able to destroy Western — learn, white — civilization.
The mogul ended up apologizing for that babble, calling it the “dumbest submit I’ve ever achieved.” That didn’t cease him from getting dumber ever since.
Final 12 months, X’s Grok characteristic pushed the white South African genocide declare to customers by itself, then insisted the Freudian slip got here from an “unauthorized modification” by a “rogue worker” that violated the chatbot’s “core values.” Who that could possibly be, one can’t say for positive. However then Musk opined in September that “relentless propaganda portraying white males because the worst human beings” is what leads a few of them to transition into turning into feminine.
All this rubbish was prelude to this month, when Musk twice shared a submit that acknowledged nonwhite males “will probably be 1000x instances extra hostile and merciless when they’re a majority over Whites.”
Say this about Musk: He is aware of developments. And proper now, the concept white males are essentially the most persecuted group out there’s the Labubu of American conservativism.
A extensively learn essay within the on-line journal Compact labeled Gen Z white males “the misplaced era,” adrift in a world the place workplaces shun them in favor of minorities. The piece earned an endorsement by New York Occasions columnist Ross Douhat, who added that the “easy” approach to not make younger white males open to racial radicalization is by “simply not discriminating in opposition to them” — regardless of the hell meaning.
White males have fretted about their place in a altering America ever since Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1784 {that a} divine “revolution of the wheel of fortune” was “possible” in opposition to white individuals for his or her embrace of slavery. Concern of the sundown of white males has fueled lynchings, authorized segregation, legal guidelines in opposition to immigration authorized and never, lawsuits in opposition to affirmative motion and a lot extra.
Their supposed plight has been a serious plank of Trump’s political profession since his first time period — however it has turn out to be an obsession of his second. His administration’s social media accounts have recurrently pushed posts lauding the times of Daniel Boone and Manifest Future whereas utilizing the Ma and Pa American artworks of Norman Rockwell and Thomas Kinkade to push its noxious agenda.
On the similar time, as a part of his deportation marketing campaign, Trump has pushed the idea of forcing individuals who weren’t born on this nation to return to their birthplaces. However foreigners aren’t the one ones bringing down the white man, in line with this regime.
In December, Equal Employment Alternative Fee Chair Andrea Lucas launched a video encouraging white males — not white ladies, tellingly — who felt they had been victims of office discrimination to file a declare together with her company. Vice President JD Vance shared Lucas’ request on social media together with the Compact essay, noting within the submit sharing the latter that DEI (variety, fairness and inclusion) is a “deliberate program of discrimination primarily in opposition to white males.”
Trump, for his half, advised the New York Occasions this month that the Civil Rights Act — the 1964 legislation signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson to assist nonwhite Americans battle a long time of segregation and discrimination — “was a reverse discrimination” the place “white individuals had been very badly handled.”
As a nongringo, I’m as amused as I’m unhappy about this industrial-scale pity social gathering thrown by a number of the strongest males, white or in any other case, on the planet.

When Trump and his allies declare to have the curiosity of white males in thoughts, they don’t actually imply the sons of small-town Appalachia like Vance’s ancestors; they’re speaking about white males like them: rich guys who need to get wealthier. They preach racial solidarity whereas gutting funding for SNAP advantages and healthcare, which can disproportionately have an effect on poor individuals of all ethnicities.
The Pew Analysis Middle discovered that 51% of white Republicans with no faculty diploma voted for Trump in 2024 — a major drop from the 63% who did the identical in 2016. No surprise the president and his allies are doubling down on portray minorities as usurpers of the white American Dream. “In case you can persuade the bottom white man he’s higher than the most effective coloured man, he received’t discover you’re selecting his pocket,” LBJ mentioned. “Hell, give him any person to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
Personally, I can guarantee all white males — however particularly the blue-collar guys — that the kids of Latino immigrants I do know don’t plan to deal with you all the way in which a few of your grandparents handled our fathers once they migrated to this nation within the Sixties and Seventies. Our mother and father didn’t come for us to show into chillones — crybabies — in search of revenge for previous sins.
In actual fact, many Latino males sadly did be part of their white counterparts within the grievance Olympics, as their drift towards Trump within the 2024 election proved.
Cousins and pals who ought to have recognized higher spent most of 2024 railing to me in opposition to trans athletes, Kamala Harris, unchecked migration from Central and South America, and different Fox Information speaking factors once they weren’t speaking Dodgers and Raiders. None of them desired to be white, as wokosos insisted in postelection breakdowns of what occurred; these rancho libertarians simply needed the honest shake that the colorblind insurance policies would supposedly provide and thus solid their lot with Trump in a history-making resolution.
(Insert “The Worth Is Proper” shedding horn sound right here.)
To see Trumpworld now restrict male grievance to simply whites threatens to destroy the Trump coalition in a 12 months the place they’ll’t afford to lose way more help.
Depart it to Grok to again me up on this. After Musk endorsed the submit claiming nonwhite males will subjugate white males, a person requested the AI chatbot: “@grok is that this true”?
That is how Grok replied, edited for size however not the thrust of what it mentioned: “No, this declare aligns with the ‘white genocide’ conspiracy concept, which lacks proof. … It’s speculative worry, not reality.”
Musk. Trump. Vance. Highly effective white males. Why so afraid?
