Elon Musk dares ‘super-racist scumbag’ Humza Yousaf to sue him in furious row

Elon Musk has dared Humza Yousaf to sue him after the tech billionaire described Scotland’s former First Minister as “super-racist against white people”.

A post on the social media site said Mr Yousaf is reportedly not ruling out legal action against the X boss over comments saying Yousaf “loathes white people”.

The tweet goes on to quote Mr Humza’s lawyer Aamer Anwar who said: “Elon has effectively painted a target on Yousaf’s back with his completely untrue and inflammatory comments.”

In response, Mr Musk today replied saying: “He’s obviously super-racist against white people. I dare that scumbag to sue me. Go ahead, make my day.”

The Tesla chief used his own social media site on Saturday to brand the Glasgow-born politician a bigot for a speech Mr Yousaf made in the Scottish Parliament about racial injustice and lack of diversity.

Mr Musk, who is facing accusations of stoking far-Right violence on Britain’s streets by suggesting civil war was “inevitable”, told his 193million followers the SNP MSP “loathes white people”.

Mr Yousaf called Mr Musk a “dangerous race baiter” who must be held to account for his actions.

Also taking to X, he said: “I can’t think what it is that upsets him so much about a Brown, Muslim, progressive politician? But his billions won’t stop me calling out his support for the far-Right.”

Mr Yousaf’s lawyer said: “Anybody who goes on social media, even if they own the platform and thinks that free speech is absolute whether in the UK or USA, needs to think again. Free speech carries responsibility and if you break the law there are consequences, as we have seen in recent days.

“Elon Musk has effectively painted a target on Humza Yousaf’s back with his completely unacceptable, untrue and inflammatory comments.”

Humza Yousaf was approached for comment.
