We're talking about America here. Everything is a race issue. Its almost apartheid.

I guess the turbines were build near a neighbourhood that mostly houses black people.

Yeah it's a class issue. Being white alone won't get you in their club. But they also really hate darker skinned people and go out of their way to be extra shitty to them.

The two things aren't exclusive of one another.

I suspect its more to highlight musk's contribution to systemic racism and race-based inequality than to try and divide us by color lines. In an ideal world, racist shit like this should unite us even more through our shared disgust at how abhorent their behavior is.

Musk comes from South African apartheid blood money. His grandfather moved to the country because he liked said apartheid, iirc.

The US also suffers from an abhorrent history and current climate of racism on top of its deeply ingrained classism.

Not sure how deliberate the choice was, but exploiting and hurting marginalized communities seems to be a honed skill of the Musk family (not counting his kids who disowned him ofc, especially his daughter)

Edit: Yep, I was right. From Wikipedia:

Haldeman's move to South Africa was motivated by support for apartheid, and he was a supporter of the ruling National Party of South Africa. Errol Musk said of his wife's family: "They were very fanatical in favor of apartheid... [Maye's] parents came to South Africa from Canada because they sympathised with the Afrikaner government."[23]

I don't know how they are winning. I haven't given them any of my money.
