Humza Yousaf and his lawyer Aamer Anwar have warned Elon Musk about potential legal action as the row between the former First Minister and the X owner rumbled on. The billionaire took to his social media site to brand the SNP politician a "super, super racist" on Friday afternoon.

The insult came after Mr Yousaf attacked the Tesla entrepreneur as the "most dangerous man" in the world and accused him of spreading misinformation online. The pair clashed before over the controversial hate crime legislation due to the potential negative impact it would have on free speech.

Mr Musk, who has also been criticising the Labour Government for its reaction to the UK riots, was commenting on an infamous video of the former First Minister's George Floyd speech at Holyrood. In it, he attacks the Scottish public sector for filling all its senior and top roles with white people.

He wrote: “He is super, super racist. Scotland gave him everything and yet he loathes white people. This is obvious, because he has never complained about the race of any other country’s leadership. There are over 200 countries in the world, most of whom have single-race leadership. Why is he only attacking Scotland?”
