Elon Musk's frequent race-focused posts on X are alienating some supporters, analysis finds

A respectable bake. You'd come back tomorrow for another.
Summary
Elon Musk has been posting almost daily about race on his social media platform X, with posts that experts say echo white supremacy rhetoric. In one January post viewed over 17 million times, Musk wrote that "Whites are a rapidly dying minority," and in February declared there is "unrelenting hate and poisonous propaganda" against White, straight people. This shift in focus comes as Musk approaches a record-setting IPO that could make him a trillionaire, and the Washington Post analysis found these posts are turning off some of his fans.
