Let's say some.
Factually, for sure, there are some business people of all different walks and backgrounds that would like to be as rich and as popular as Elon Musk.
So let me just take a step back from the we're one species into the we're separated by race, gender, socioeconomic class conversation and say, as a Black owner of two tech platforms, hardware and software, I need to take action.
Let's not call it affirmative.
Let's just say I need to take action and I need to take accountability and ensuring that
Black engineers are hired, and guess what?
Hired together.
Because when the Black people that are brilliant are separated from our culture, we forget who we are.
And we'll get to a point where, you know, OJ would say, I'm not Black, I'm OJ.
Because just to be on the golf course, we put on the golf shirt.

Everybody's got a gun on them.
Oh, if you run up on me on a gas station, I'm going to kill you.
Hey, you ain't got to talk to me like a man if I haven't killed at least five people.

We could kill 10 people and still be in the media.
As long as we play by the rules.
Because what will happen is any of these guys that have talked about killing people and different things, unless Trump had pardoned them.
