I hate to be "that girl" again but as an early English scholar who has studied and written abt Tolkien's racism extensively (my field could have had Stuart Hall as a medievalist if not for Tolkein's discouragement), our fave South African scholar would have been quite comfortable w/ Musk's racism.
Tolkien fought in the Battle of the Somme. He saw the horrors of war, and the moments of bravery and fear within it up close.
And after all that. ALL that. He wrote Lord of the Rings. He declared true bravery and masculinity to be love, friendship and humbleness.
Musk is everything he hated.

Jamaica contributes 0.02% to global greenhouse gas emissions even thought it is 0.03% of the global population.
Meaning JA emits 33% less than its population share would predict.
Meanwhile it’s facing a historic hurricane caused disproportionately by emissions from high income countries.
