    "The Media Is Racist": Elon Musk Slams Coverage Of Scott Adams'' ''Canceled Dilbert'' Controversy | ZeroHedge


    "Shortly after the coordinated cancellation of 'Dilbert' cartoons from numerous media outlets, Elon Musk responded on Twiiter to the media's clear bias in reporting the events.

    In the early hours of Sunday morning, Musk replied to tweet summarizing the debacle around Adams' comments: "MSM verdict: Adams is a racist, but not the 20 million black people who thinks it’s not OK to be white."

    Scott Adams, ‘Dilbert’ comic creator, dies | CNN
    by Scottie Andrew
    Jan. 13, 2026

    Scott Adams, the creator of the popular comic strip “Dilbert,” has died, according to an announcement on his social media pages.

    Adams, who was 68, announced in May that he’d been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

    “Dilbert,” a chronicle of the indignities of American office work, was one of the country’s most widely read comic strips from its breakout success in the 1990s until February 2023, when Adams made racist comments against Black Americans, calling them a “hate group” that white people should “get the hell away from,” in response to a dubious poll about whether it’s “OK to be white.” Hundreds of newspapers stopped carrying “Dilbert” within days, and the strip was soon dropped by its distributor.
    Adams started to become better known for his conservative politics when he began praising President Donald Trump in 2015, correctly predicting ahead of the 2016 election that Trump would win. Adams, who described himself as a “trained hypnotist,” said he found similarities between the persuasive methods of hypnosis and Trump’s rhetorical style.
