Dilbert creator Scott Adams made explicitly racist comments during a YouTube live stream, encouraging his viewers to "stay the hell away" from black people because they're a "hate group." Elon Musk defended Adams on Twitter—presumably before knowing what he said—and accused the media of being racist.
