Kanye West calls Elon Musk a ‘half-Chinese genetic hybrid,’ Musk responds
Ye has called Twitter’s new CEO, Elon Musk, a “half-Chinese genetic hybrid.”
Ye’s Instagram post
The man formerly known as Kanye West made an Instagram post on Sunday where he asked his over 18.4 million followers the question. In the post, he wrote, “Am I the only one who thinks Elon could be half-Chinese?”
“Have you ever seen his pics as a child?” Ye added.
He also pondered Musk’s parentage, speculating whether Musk was the lovechild of a “Chinese genius” and a “South African super model.”
Ye also referred to Musk as “an Elon,” alluding to his belief that Musk and former-President Barack Obama were also ‘hybrids.’
“I say ‘an Elon’ because they probably made 10 to 30 Elon’s and he’s the first genetic hybrid that stuck …. well let’s not forget about Obama,” he wrote.

Ye affirmed Musk’s sentiments in a follow-up Instagram post, writing, “It was meant as a compliment my friend Now Obama on the other hand…..”
