So DeSantis thinks Musk is black .You must be a nitwit if you would think this is true . Oh but you get your information from Towleroad gay news ,Hahahaha !

@seagreeneyez -

I follow Tesla and Musk for some work, and I understood the joke DeSantis was making, but I can see how others might miss it. Also, DeSantis is a nasty piece of work, and he was in effect doing a bit of trolling.

It happens to all of us that we miss a joke here or there, especially in this age of missed communications on the net. I respectfully suggest simply acknowledge that you got this one wrong, either by taking it down or by a brief comment.

To others who have commented on this, I would say the joke DeSantis is making is questionable or tasteless because what he is really doing is making light of the issue of whether African Americans might usually support him, and indeed whether he and his team would be deserving of the support, or welcoming of it. Considering the number of people of African American descent who are paying DeSantis's sallary, and for whom he is doing an atrociously poor job, he should be less derisive.

Lets not forget that our species evolved in Africa, so technically ALL humans are Africans.

Which does not let DeSantis off, because though it's true that Musk's recent ancestors were South Africans, the Florida's governor is still a fucking troll.

It might be in bad taste but according to numerous reports it was simply a joke due to the birthplace of Musk.You should be looking in the mirror when using the word idiot.

Elon Musk self identifies as 'African American', because he is.

Yes, this musk be a joke. Where is South Africa?

Politics, probably the greatest waste of time and money on earth.

It wasn't stupidity. It was racist dog whistle.
And responded to by some even in this thread.

That wink/wink nudge certain people do when they think they've gotten away with saying something clever.

You are the dumbass and to inept to realize he made a joke due to the fact that Elon Musk is from South Africa .If you had any common sense you would’ve checked other news sources before jumping to conclusions from one lame report .Be careful when you call people idiots,idiot.

Well, if you can call people who aren't pedophiles or groomers pedophiles and groomers, I guess you can call a white guy a black guy. Your credibility is already shot to shit, so what's the diff?

Sheeezus, what a douchewagon.

He is African but not American. Everyone that has a Tesla loves it. The car itself is a good thing.Musk is a self-centered bullying genius. If I could afford it I would never buy one of his cars. If he gets his way, very few people will be able to afford his cars.

And the Rethuglican Party wonders why it is mocked by all thinking people? Really?

DeSatan will be the presidential GOP candidate to beat in 2024. Trump will be too busy trying to keep himself out of jail.

Ron DeathSentence knows Elon Musk is euro-african, like Charlize Theron. Ron is just an entitled asshole.

Deathsantis IS fucking dumbass.
