Why Elon Musk Making Racial Remark: Ever since Donald Trump came to power, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been in the news sometimes for his feud with Trump and sometimes for his strange statements. Meanwhile, he has said something that has caused people to rage on social media.
Elon Musk on White-Black Controversy: The controversy created by one of the world’s most famous entrepreneurs, Elon Musk, is rocking the entire social media. Elon Musk, owner of Tesla, SpaceX, and microblogging site X, has once again been embroiled in controversy. In a viral post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk has been accused of promoting the ideology of WAGA (White America Great Again) instead of MAGA (Make America Great Again).
In fact, Elon Musk posted a post on his account that clearly stated that the population of white people around the world is rapidly decreasing. It is the fastest declining species in global population. To back up his point, he also shared a post that said that in 1900, whites made up 36 percent of the population, and now it’s down to 8 percent.
Why the uproar with Elon Musk’s post?
Musk’s post created a stir on social media. Vinod Khosla, an Indian American billionaire, wrote on Twitter about Trump’s post, “Elon Musk’s agenda is rooted in the mindset of making America great for whites only, and he is presenting racism as an acceptable ideology.” The statement also calls for non-white employees who work at companies led by Musk — Tesla, SpaceX, and X — and white employees who oppose racism to leave these companies.
In this post, it is also stated that all such people can join his portfolio companies and for this he also urged employees to email their LinkedIn profiles.
What did Elon Musk say?
The statement comes at a time when Elon Musk is already facing criticism for his immigration policies and right-wing rhetoric. Musk has previously been accused of holding accounts and views on X that are associated with white supremacy. There has been no official response from Musk or any of his companies to this allegation. However, the growing controversy has made it trending.

Born in Tamil Nadu, Ashok studied engineering in Chennai and holds a master’s degree in robotic systems from the United States. Indian-origin Vaibhav Taneja is Tesla’s CFO from 2023.
