Offset is over the games being played in front of his face with the new DODGE Leader and the American people. In a statement catching the attention of the Hip-hop community;Offset has called out Tesla CEO Elon Musk for a recent tweet that many are calling controversial. The tweet in question, which was posted on Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter), appeared to express support for the release of Derek Chauvin, the convicted former police officer responsible for the killing of George Floyd.
The tweet sparked outrage, leading Offset to address Musk directly, calling his tweet.... "playing in Black people's faces."
Musk's tweeted....., "something to think about," was in reference to a post advocating for the release of Derek Chauvin. The tweet didn't directly endorse the idea but rather posed it as an issue for discussion. However, the mere suggestion of such a controversial stance on a platform with millions of followers was enough to ignite a firestorm of criticism and many calling his behavior irresponsible.
Many took to social media to condemn Musk's statement, with accusations that he was downplaying the gravity of Floyd’s murder, an incident that sparked global protests and the Black Lives Matter movement. His death in 2020 led to widespread protests and a reckoning over systemic racism.
