Are you asking in good faith why non-sequiturs that stoke racism shouldn't be injected into unrelated twitter threads?
Even related twitter threads, do you want interracial hatred to be increased?
Here's why it should be banned, because it leads to this shit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_genocide
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_genocide
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731
How can people be so fucking stupid that they want to be coy about recreating the most shameful atrocities in human history? Teenage idiots a few years removed without any understanding of the world beyond their nose and brains turned to putrid rot.
The direction that right wing reactionaries are taking the world in could not possibly be more disgusting and pathetic.

The systemic white genocide isn't really a thing. Sure, there is political violence against whites in Africa, but South Africa ain't anywhere near the worst offender there, and the rate of violence there is comparable to the rate of political violence against LGBT in the US, so if you're going to call the political violence in South Africa white genocide, you shouldn't object to calling Musk genocidal for his transphobic views.
More to the point, though, even talking about it as a genocide is really about cheapening the definition of genocide and denying the existence of problems that don't affect one or the community one lives in by drawing false equivalencies.

Curious if you can point to references to systemic white genocide. I must be ignorant of it.
