Elon Musk is back in his feelings — this time over capitalization.
The Tesla and X boss reposted a rant from far-right influencer Douglass Mackey (yes, the same guy convicted for election interference) who was upset that The New York Times capitalized Black but not white in a story about a high-profile murder.
Why is “white” always in lowercase, but Black is uppercase, @nytimes?
The NY Times is deliberate, precise and comprehensive in its anti-White racism. https://t.co/4edUTAWsjU

Mackey claimed it showed white people are “second-class citizens.” Musk co-signed, asking the Times:
“Why is ‘white’ always in lowercase, but Black is uppercase? The NY Times is deliberate, precise and comprehensive in its anti-White racism.”
Quick fact-check for Musk & Co.: The Associated Press — whose style guide most outlets follow — intentionally capitalizes “Black” when referring to people, cultures, and communities. Lowercase “black” is just a color. As for “white”? AP explains that white people generally don’t share a common cultural identity or lived history of discrimination tied to skin color — so lowercase remains the standard.
Of course, MAGA internet is fuming. Conservative commentator Alex Lorusso raged on X:
“Did you know AP has an actual explanation for this? It’s everything you’d expect…”
Meanwhile, the rest of the internet is clowning Musk and his crew for throwing a tantrum over grammar while pretending it’s oppression.
The reactions? Savage. Check them out in the gallery below.

Anyone that’s taken a legit writing class knows that when you uppercase a word is basically highlighting the subject/person/place or thing to create a heightened awareness compared to lowercasing words to dictate less awareness which is purposely done to sway opinions & thoughts https://t.co/zh6cy1mE1n
