Summary
Elon Musk escalated controversy over accusations that his salute at a Trump rally resembled a “Sieg heil” by posting Nazi-related jokes on X, referencing figures like Rudolf Hess and Joseph Goebbels.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) initially defended Musk, urging “a bit of grace” and “benefit of the doubt,” but later condemned his Holocaust-related jokes as offensive.
Conservative Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also defended Musk.
Critics highlighted Musk’s history of promoting far-right conspiracy theories and enabling neo-Nazi content on X, raising concerns about increasing offensive rhetoric on the platform.
So the group that kept saying if you say “free palestanian” or “israel is bad” you are a nazi and antisemitic, suddenly had no issue with nazi marks by Musk?
if elon musk doesn’t get sued for hate crime, while student protesting genocide do, then you know who is your enemies,
This is flirting a bit too close to the antisemitic dog whistle.
legitimate question:
how does criticizing the actions of the government of Israel constitute antisemitism?
I didn’t say it did.
