Elon Musk Varunram Ganesh FWIW doxxing is bad and I hope he keeps his job/position. But the main focus should be on how we can raise intelligence for everyone to the maximum extent possible (e.g. via embryo selection or genetic editing for IQ) as opposed to politicizing existing race differences in IQ.

The hierarchy of WW2 morality is Churchill >> Stalin > Hitler. You can debate whether Churchill was net good or bad, or the precise magnitude of the differences, but if your hierarchy is different from the above, you're either ignorant (charitably) or a bona fide extremist.
