As we told you earlier today, billionaire Tesla founder Elon Musk said on Twitter that he’s “leaning towards” supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president in 2024:

And this didn’t sit well with The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill.
She tweeted:
“Yet another example of people throwing that genius label around way too casually. EM is just another entitled, self-absorbed rich guy who really is only interested in protecting the interests of the billionaire class.”

We suspect *some* white billionaires are acceptable to Hill. Like the one helping fund her company:
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has given at least $319 million to media/journalism. A few recipients of this funding: NPR, NBC, BBC, CNN, ProPublica, The Atlantic, USA Today, PBS, Medium, Vox, The Guardian, & The Financial Times.https://t.co/VKWBqw5ZKH
