"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.

That article was total Musk-hate. It was an hate-Musk opinion piece, touting itself as news. I’ve never read anything that totally hate oriented before, except TDS pieces. Article said something about X allowing swastikas. I assume Yahoo is extremely pro-RiotersNotProtesters, regarding antisemitic pro-Palestine rioters, who love swastikas.

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."It will take an airplane crashing and killing hundreds of people for them to change this crazy policy of DIE, he tweeted"

Typical degree of liberal reading comprehension, equating two completely different concepts. (DEI vs. racial disparity in intelligence)

OTOH, when your argument is intellectually bankrupt, what are ya gonna do?

from made-up average IQ numbers to wrongfully correlating high SAT scores with high IQ.

People with substandard cognitive ability reject data illustrating their problem.

As a seventh Gen Mississippian I know the nature of such cards in the hands of the woke on the net and protoconservatives here

Quite the double standard here on FR sometimes. Tesla’s cars are exploding. SpaceX rockets have exploded or failed many times. Imagine what some people here would say about Elon Musk if he were black.

DIE has a built-in defense shield. Anyone opposing it is smeared with the racist flag. With that one should melt like the witch getting the pail of water. These Cultural Marxists run on arguments based on emotion rather than facts. That makes it easier for a class of elite oligarchs to rule the masses.

Oh the standard lies I see. There was nothing in Musk’s criticism of RACISM that was in any way critical of black people. Musk correctly pointed out that RACISM will lead to taking less qualified people and poor results.

Elon is simply making the point that choosing who to hire based primarily upon their skin color will inevitably lead to unqualified, incompetent people getting jobs they can’t handle. But the lefties freaking out over it have so jammed the gears of their natural thought process with the sand of wokeness that they are incapable of rational, logical thought.

Lefties think such a straightforward statement is actually saying that blacks are inferior and can’t do the job as well as whites, but that’s not what he is saying. Even if you turned DEI around and gave racial preferences to whites over blacks based only upon skin color you would still end up with many who would not be up to the job. It’s just basic logic. If you’re not looking at skill and experience above all else, you will inevitably end up hiring incompetent people, no matter what variety of race you’re prioritizing over it.

Selecting people to become pilots on any basis other than skill and qualification is going to get people killed.

I just checked.

He didn’t say a damned thing about black people, or any other racial group.

The Musk statements are cultural and not racist. Comments critical of the Black Afro American culture are not only permissible, but long over due.

The Black Afro American Heritage Minority-Majority is a plague on America. Their salvation and cure is to become members of the Afro American Heritage Minority-Minority

As if a “futurist” with a background in “journalism” has other than a vested interest in the anti-meritocracy:

ONLY HIRE ON MERIT.

This isn't anti-black - it's anti intentionally hiring people who are incompetent BECAUSE they're black. Lots of black citizens can be pilots and air controllers based on merit. Just NOT as many as WOKE idiots want...
