Tech billionaire Elon Musk has branded former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf as “ultra-racist” after the former First Minister previously complained about there being too many white people in positions of authority in Scotland.
Continuing his feud with the UK political establishment, X chief executive Elon Musk has lashed out at Humza Yousaf, who was unceremoniously ousted from his job in May after leading Scotland’s devolved government for just over a year.
Musk responded to Yousaf’s infamous 2020 speech to the Scottish Parliament, inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, in which he listed the key positions of power held by white people in Scotland. brand He denounced the left-wing politician as a “super super racist.”
“Scotland has given him everything and yet he hates white people. This is clear because he has never complained about the race of the leader of another country,” Musk continued.
“There are over 200 countries in the world, most of them led by a single ethnic group. Why is he attacking only Scotland?”
According to 2022 CensusOf the total population of 5.4 million, about 93 percent are white, while Yousaf and other Pakistani immigrants make up about 73,000 people in the country, or 1.3 percent of the total population.
My comments in yesterday’s debate were directed at my government colleagues.
It is easy to point out the failures of the opposition, but we must acknowledge that we have not made enough progress for minority communities.
I accept this as a personal failure and will once again work towards a fairer Scotland for all. pic.twitter.com/yskVDS9TGu

At the Edinburgh Fringe Festival on Thursday, Yousaf Explained He called Musk “one of the most dangerous men on the planet” and accused the social media chief of “amplifying” misinformation on his platform.
His comments come as Britain’s one-party state continues to call for a censorship crackdown on X, whom it accuses of fuelling the anti-immigrant riots that have swept the country following the murder of three girls at a children’s dance party in Southport, allegedly at the hands of a second-generation Rwandan immigrant.
The riots have been condemned as “far-right” and “racist.” include Mr Yousaf is the architect of the draconian anti-hate speech laws imposed in Scotland earlier this year.
Embarrassingly for Yousaf, a 2020 speech in which he condemned the number of white people in power in Scotland reportedly received more complaints under new hate speech laws than a criticism of transgender views by Harry Potter author and Scottish resident J.K. Rowling.
Although there have been no violent incidents in Scotland, Yousaf said earlier this week he was considering leaving the UK amid ongoing anti-immigrant riots, and feared there was no place for him and his family in the UK because of what he believed to be a rise in “Islamophobia”.
