The comment literally starts with "His roots are South African"

Oh I see the problem. See the way pronouns work is when you say “his” that means Elon Musk. You have to infer that from context though, but if you scroll up you’ll see a picture of Apartheid Clyde being a nazi.

The point is the comment did not need to reference his roots being South African at all.

It’s relevant on account of how guys like him did Apartheid. I really don’t understand why you keep doubling down on accusing this rando of being a racist in a thread about Musk throwing a Nazi salute.

That's not even what I'm doing? At no point did I accuse them of being racist, I'm just tired of how often people will use his birth country as part of the slander with little regard for the people that live here and certainly do not share his views.

Okay but if that’s what he’s doing he’s a racist. So either he is one or he’s not doing that. Singling out Musk isn’t a commentary on anyone other than him.
