Humza Yousaf claims Elon Musk is trying to stir racial tensions with a post about Kriss Donald’s murder
Glasgow: Former first minister Humza Yousaf is calling out Elon Musk for trying to stir up racial tensions. This all started with a post about the tragic murder of Kriss Donald back in 2004.
Kriss was just 15 when he was kidnapped and killed in a racist attack by a gang led by Imran Shahid. It was a brutal crime that shocked the community.
Musk shared a post on his platform X, quoting an activist discussing the murder, saying it was the first time he had heard of it. This didn’t sit well with Yousaf.
The billionaire has been vocal about UK politics lately, even criticizing the Prime Minister. He’s been in the spotlight for his comments, which some see as inflammatory.
Yousaf pointed out that Musk has previously clashed with him over the Hate Crime Act. He’s not holding back this time either, emphasizing the importance of justice in Kriss’s case.
He highlighted the efforts of Mohammad Sarwar, the UK’s first Muslim MP, who played a crucial role in bringing Kriss’s killers to justice after they fled to Pakistan.
Yousaf mentioned that Kriss’s mother, Angela, had urged people not to use her son’s murder to fuel racial tensions. He believes Musk is doing just that.
It’s a complicated situation, and Yousaf is making it clear that he won’t let Musk’s comments go unchallenged. The conversation around this case continues to be sensitive and significant.
