He perfectly understands what Elon means, he just engages in sophistry as it's not an argument he can refute so he forces Elon to look confused and stumbling. That's more than enough for leftard cultists to believe that Elon does not know what he's talking about.
I don't think he does. It sounds to me like Musk is arguing from a point of individual valuation, while Lemon is arguing about group valuation. So, when Musk says that lowering individual standards will increase mistakes, Lemon hears "increasing representation of Blacks will increase mistakes".
Which it will, from either perspecrive, but if you believe in equity that doesn't matter.
This issue is the woke are conflating two contradictory ideas: that you can't prejudge a person based on their group, and group representation is an indicater of fairness. That confuses anyone expecting a consistent argument.
I won't say "all Black people are too dumb to be doctors". What I will say is "statistically, Black people are more likely than White people to be to dumb to be doctors". That doesn't mean there won't be exceptional Blacks who do the job just fine, but that you won't see an even distribution of race in medicine any more than you would in the NBA.
Lemon's argument seems to be both "you can't make judgements about entire groups" but also "all groups are equal".
Also odd how almost every successful black person has a “traditional white” upbringing. Aka two upper middle class parents in a stable relationship in generally white-majority populated areas. Weird how that works

it's "you can't explain that" all over again
