In 2023, Musk accused South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa of \u201copenly pushing for genocide of white people in South Africa\u201d because political opponents sang an apartheid-era anti-Boer song during a rally<\/a>. That same year, Musk posted,<\/a> \u201cYou have said the actual truth,\u201d to a user who claimed Jews supported unchecked migration in order to destroy Western \u2014 read, white \u2014 civilization.<\/p>\n The mogul ended up apologizing for that babble, calling it the \u201cdumbest post I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d That didn\u2019t stop him from getting dumber ever since.<\/p>\n Last year, X\u2019s Grok feature pushed the white South African genocide<\/a> claim to users on its own, then insisted the Freudian slip came from an \u201cunauthorized modification\u201d by a \u201crogue employee\u201d that violated the chatbot\u2019s \u201ccore values.\u201d Who that could be, one can\u2019t say for sure. But then Musk opined in September that \u201crelentless propaganda portraying white men as the worst human beings\u201d is what leads some of them to transition into becoming female.<\/p>\n All this garbage was prelude to this month, when Musk twice shared a post that stated nonwhite men \u201cwill be 1000x times more hostile and cruel when they are a majority over Whites.\u201d<\/p>\n Say this about Musk: He knows trends. And right now, the idea that white men are the most persecuted group out there is the Labubu<\/a> of American conservativism.<\/p>\n A widely read essay in the online magazine Compact labeled Gen Z white men<\/a> \u201cthe lost generation,\u201d adrift in a world where workplaces shun them in favor of minorities. The piece earned an endorsement<\/a> by New York Times columnist Ross Douhat, who added that the \u201csimple\u201d way to not make young white men open to racial radicalization is by \u201cjust not discriminating against them\u201d \u2014 whatever the hell that means.<\/p>\n White men have fretted about their place in a changing America ever since Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1784 that a divine \u201crevolution of the wheel of fortune\u201d was \u201cprobable\u201d against white people for their embrace of slavery. Fear of the sunset of white men has fueled lynchings, legal segregation, laws against immigration legal and not, lawsuits against affirmative action and so much more.<\/p>\n Their supposed plight has been a major plank of Trump\u2019s political career since his first term \u2014 but it has become an obsession of his second. His administration\u2019s social media accounts have regularly pushed posts lauding the days of Daniel Boone and Manifest Destiny<\/a> while using the Ma and Pa American artworks of Norman Rockwell and Thomas Kinkade to push its noxious agenda.<\/p>\n At the same time, as part of his deportation campaign, Trump has pushed the concept of forcing people who weren\u2019t born in this country<\/a> to go back to their birthplaces. But foreigners aren\u2019t the only ones bringing down the white man, according to this regime. <\/p>\n In December, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Chair Andrea Lucas<\/a> released a video encouraging white men \u2014 not white women, tellingly \u2014 who felt they were victims of workplace discrimination to file a claim with her agency. Vice President JD Vance shared Lucas\u2019 request on social media along with the Compact essay, noting in the post sharing the latter that DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) is a \u201cdeliberate program of discrimination primarily against white men.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump, for his part, told the New York Times this month that the Civil Rights Act \u2014 the 1964 law signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson to help nonwhite American citizens fight decades of segregation and discrimination \u2014 \u201cwas a reverse discrimination\u201d where \u201cwhite people were very badly treated.\u201d<\/p>\n As a nongringo, I\u2019m as amused as I am sad about this industrial-scale pity party thrown by some of the most powerful men, white or otherwise, on the planet. <\/p>\n A poster showing the Trump Gold Card is seen as President Trump signs executive orders in the Oval Office on Sept. 19, 2025.<\/p>\n (Alex Brandon \/ Associated Press)<\/p>\n When Trump and his allies claim to have the interest of white men in mind, they don\u2019t really mean the sons of small-town Appalachia like Vance\u2019s ancestors; they\u2019re talking about white men like them: wealthy guys who want to get wealthier. They preach racial solidarity while gutting funding for SNAP benefits and healthcare, which will disproportionately affect poor people of all ethnicities.<\/p>\n The Pew Research Center found that 51% of white Republicans with no college degree voted for Trump in 2024 \u2014 a significant drop from the 63% who did the same in 2016. No wonder the president and his allies are doubling down on painting minorities as usurpers of the white American Dream. \u201cIf you can convince the lowest white man he\u2019s better than the best colored man, he won\u2019t notice you\u2019re picking his pocket,\u201d LBJ said. \u201cHell, give him somebody to look down on, and he\u2019ll empty his pockets for you.\u201d<\/p>\n Personally, I can assure all white men \u2014 but especially the blue-collar guys \u2014 that the children of Latino immigrants I know don\u2019t plan to treat you all the way some of your grandparents treated our fathers when they migrated to this country in the 1960s and 1970s. Our parents didn\u2019t come for us to turn into chillones \u2014 crybabies \u2014 seeking revenge for past sins. <\/p>\n In fact, many Latino men sadly did join their white counterparts<\/a> in the grievance Olympics, as their drift toward Trump in the 2024 election proved. <\/p>\n Cousins and friends who should have known better spent most of 2024 railing to me against trans athletes, Kamala Harris, unchecked migration from Central and South America<\/a>, and other Fox News talking points when they weren\u2019t talking Dodgers and Raiders. None of them desired to be white, as wokosos insisted in postelection breakdowns of what happened; these rancho libertarians<\/a> just wanted the fair shake that the colorblind policies would supposedly offer and thus cast their lot with Trump in a history-making decision.<\/p>\n (Insert \u201cThe Price Is Right\u201d losing horn sound here.) <\/p>\n To see Trumpworld now limit male grievance to just whites threatens to destroy the Trump coalition in a year where they can\u2019t afford to lose much more support.<\/p>\n Leave it to Grok to back me up on this. After Musk endorsed the post claiming nonwhite men will subjugate white men, a user asked the AI chatbot: \u201c@grok is this true\u201d?<\/p>\n This is how Grok replied, edited for length but not the thrust of what it said: \u201cNo, this claim aligns with the \u2018white genocide\u2019 conspiracy theory, which lacks evidence. … It is speculative fear, not fact.\u201d <\/p>\n Musk. Trump. Vance. Powerful white men. Why so afraid?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who the hell appointed Elon Musk to be the loudest defender of white men?
