Twitter CEO Elon Musk defends Dilbert creator's racist tirade
Dilbert has been a mainstay of the funny pages of America's newspapers since 1989. It features a put-upon office worker and a talking dog, who together take aim at the fads of corporate culture.
Among media outlets to drop the Dilbert cartoon strip are the USA Today network, which operates dozens of of newspapers across the US. The phrase is believed to have emerged in 2017 as a trolling campaign and has since been used by white supremacists.
