"nor the tweet he was responding to stand up to virtually any degree of scrutiny, from made-up average IQ numbers to wrongfully correlating high SAT scores with high IQ."

Challenge ANYONE who spouts such nonsense and they cannot cite any data of any kind.

But there is a wealth of data supporting the truth of it.

It's like men claiming to be women.

Earlier this week, multi-hyphenate billionaire Elon Musk endorsed a tweet suggesting Black students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have lower IQs and shouldn't become pilots.

 

Or design and build Boeing 737's.

Didn’t California ban IQ tests because they didn’t like what they were finding?

“appeared to imply”

That’s proof right there!
The race hustlers never stop stirring the pot, even when the comments are right on.

Fake News.

Everything I’ve seen regarding this tells me Musk is correct for categorizing DIE as racist.

But I’ve not seen any other source indicating he said blacks at HBCU’s should not be pilots.

“ In his tweets, Musk appeared to imply that HBCU students shouldn’t be allowed to become pilots.”

Appeared to.

Iow, they just make stuff up, twisting meaning.

Any political party or movement who holds on to the idea that only men from a handful of ethnicities are capable, deserves to be buried in the ash heap of history.

Oh, that brings to mind perhaps the funniest racist joke I ever heard told in a mixed race crowd by a person of color. It begins: . . . “so Billy Graham and a Boy Scout and MLK are flying in a plane . . . .”

Stop me if you know it . . . .

I could be wrong. But isn’t Elon Musk an Afican American?

It doesn’t matter what color they are or their IQ’s. If you make pilots of the less qualified candidates for any reason, you are reducing safety.

Elon didn’t say anything about IQ’s.

SAT scores are useful because they DO correlate very highly with IQ scores. Just about everything Musk said about DIE is actually true. Remember, the louder the Leftists scream the more right you are.

Wow — Yahoo considers this piece a news article? Even the Washington Post or the New York Times wouldn’t have the nerve to call this news rather than opinion.

The only reason they are offended is Musk has money and they want some of it..............

Reality horrifies the pretenders. Imagine that.

And yes, DEI WILL result in catastrophic failure wherever it’s practiced. Guaranteed.

I saw this firsthand when I was tutoring at my state College. Most of the black students I tutored there couldn’t do basic arithmetic or no basic English. It was horrifying to witness.

The author should twist what the tweet stated and what Musk’s comments were. This is a hate article.
