LEGACY MEDIA TRIED TO SMEAR ELON AGAIN — AND HE SHUT IT DOWN In the Economist interview, the editor went straight to the usual playbook: “People say that you’re a racist.” Elon’s response was simple and factual: “My partner is half Indian, and I have four children with her. One of them was named after a famous Indian physicist. So I would say I’m not racist. And also, if you look at the people that are employed at my companies, we have senior executives of all races. I don’t think there’s any racism there.” Then came the follow-up: “Are you anti-Muslim?” Elon: “If people are coming to a country with antithetical views, I am against that. I’m against rape and murder. I’m against the imposition of rules and laws that are contrary to what we’ve come to accept in the West.” That’s it. No hate. No racism. Just a clear distinction between people and values. Yet legacy media still runs with the same tired narrative because it fits their script. They don’t want the nuance — they want the smear. Elon keeps pointing out the obvious: opposing certain cultural values that clash with Western norms is not the same as hating an entire group of people. The media refuses to acknowledge the difference. The more they push these accusations, the more transparent their bias becomes.
