Musk was reacting to a clip of Scotland’s first ethnic minority first minister listing senior public posts held by white people
of being “a blatant racist” after the tech billionaire saw a highly selective clip of a speech by the first minister.
The excerpt of Yousaf’s statement has been repeatedly amplified in Scotland by far-right nativist groups who claim it was racist. Audience members and protesters have also accused him of racism at events. The clip was taken from May 2020 when Yousaf was speaking to MSPs on a motion in support of anti-racist activism after the death of George Floyd, where he discussed the racism he had experienced since being elected.
He then listed all the senior judicial, policing and legal posts in his justice portfolio held by white people, and said the same could be found in health, another portfolio he held.
