LONDON — Elon Musk branded Humza Yousaf “super-super racist,” as he continued a feud with the former Scottish leader and capped a week of beefing with British politicians.
Yousaf led Scotland as first minister between 2023 and 2024. He’s previously clashed with the X-owning billionaire — and laid into him again in recent days after Musk pushed inaccurate claims about riots that have swept Britain. Musk has meanwhile been accused by politicians of failing to tackle far-right disinformation on his platform.
Speaking at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Thursday, Yousaf described the X owner as “one of the most dangerous men on the planet” because of his “amplification” of disinformation.
Hitting back at Yousaf’s comments Friday, the tech entrepreneur claimed Yousaf, the Scottish-born son of first generation Pakistani immigrants, “loathes white people.”
“He is super, super racist,” Musk tweeted in reply to a speech Yousaf made in 2020 about structural racism in Scotland. “Scotland gave him everything and yet he loathes white people.”
He went on to question why Yousaf hasn’t “complained” about the race of other countries’ leaders.
Yousaf, who quit as Scotland’s leader earlier this year, has been targeted with racial abuse on several occasions.
He said this week he wasn’t sure if “the future for me and my wife and my three children is going to be here in Scotland or the United Kingdom” due to anti-Muslim abuse.
