Shaun King Deletes Twitter Account, Calls Elon Musk Takeover 'White Power'

Ewan Palmer - 6h ago

Activist Shaun King has deleted his Twitter account soon after posting that Elon Musk's purchase of the platform is "about white power."

King, who rose to prominence during the start of the Black Lives Matter movement, took down his account hours after he criticized the Tesla and SpaceX CEO's plans to take over Twitter.

On Monday, it was confirmed that Musk clinched a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion, which means the world's richest man will now have control of the social media site.

"At its root, Elon Musk wanting to purchase Twitter is not about left vs right. It's about white power," King tweeted before the takeover was confirmed.

"The man was raised in Apartheid by a white nationalist. He's upset that Twitter won't allow white nationalists to target/harass people. That's his definition of free speech.

"Elon Musk has openly called himself a 'free speech absolutist' and said that he wants to create a space where anything can be said about anyone. That's why white nationalists are giddy today. Here on Twitter and other platforms that I track daily. It's dangerous," King said.

"And listen, I don't even like the Democratic Party. So for me, this isn't about left vs right. Not at all. It's about how the richest man in the world, a son of Apartheid, raised by a white nationalist, wants to be sure his speech, and that of other white men, isn't censored."

So only hate speech against white people should be allowed?

Interesting concept.

Most rational people would call that racism.
