Tech billionaire and Trump henchman Elon Musk posted a meme claiming that lower income Americans who benefit from federal programs' assistance are "members of the Parasite Class". Now Musk himself receives billions of dollars from federal programs to keep his faltering businesses alive. Hypocrisy? Elitism? Racism?
The South African illegal immigrant to the US fled South Africa after the end of apartheid. Apparently his superior "beautiful white skin" couldn't tolerate to live in a country ruled by the majority non-whites.
People reacted to his post:
He’s calling people who receive any kind of federal assistance “parasites” while profiting heavily from every single government benefit he can get. The only parasite I see is Elon Musk. I’m so tired and disgusted. pic.twitter.com/SV1PYqBHhj

As the post spread across multiple platforms, the podcast "On With Kara Swisher" called Musk himself a parasite; Swisher claimed that by 2015, Tesla had received almost $5 billion in government support.
A Fact Check by Snopes confirmed that Musk did repost a meme that called those who benefit from federal programs the "Parasite Class".
