Elon Musk Amplifies Bizarre Claim That 'Women Are Built To Be Traded'

Just when you think Elon Musk has realized spouting off racist nonsense and giving Nazi-like fascist salutes is bad for business, he goes back to the well for more.

This time, Musk amplified a bizarre claim from an anonymous social media account that described women as meek objects “built to be traded to another tribe (or captured).”

“That keeps them safe, even though they are physically weak,” the anonymous account continued, before launching into a longer screed about why women should conform to a culture dictated by white men “because the alternative is not so gentle.”

Musk, apparently persuaded, reshared the post with his 223 million followers:

The post came in response to a separate discussion Musk had earlier in the day.

In that interaction, Musk responded to a user who’d asked why “liberal white women hate white people so much” by speculating that “they’ve been programmed to do so by their teachers and the media.”
