'My partner is half-Indian': Elon Musk rejects racism allegations, says his son's name honours Indian scientist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

Elon Musk has once again found himself at the centre of a public debate over his views on race and immigration after firmly rejecting allegations of racism during a recent interview with The Economist. The billionaire entrepreneur, who has frequently drawn criticism for his comments on immigration and demographic changes in Europe, defended himself by pointing to his personal life. Musk said his partner is half-Indian, that they have four children together and that one of his sons has a middle name inspired by Indian scientist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. He argued that these personal connections, along with the diversity within his companies, contradict claims that he is racist.
