That is the white supremacist attitude:

Just because Mr. White can do something doesn't mean anyone else can do it.

As a corollary to that: if anyone else can do something then surely Mr. White can do it, too. Mr. White demands it.

Here alleged white supremacist Elon Musk supports Mr. White's right to say anything and everything while anyone not Mr. White must seek permission.

As someone who struggles internally with my racism I can't tell you how much I hate seeing the richest man in the world reinforce these white supremacist values while I try to strangle them out of my interior life. It is like Jefferson Davis is become 21st century businessman.
