Agreeing with an antisemitic post on his social media platform X, Elon Musk concurred that Jewish communities push “hatred against Whites.”

    Super taboo to say but I think its fair to claim that all cults/religions discriminate against outsiders.

      Yeah, but he was just thinking about lost $.

      Musk in September threatened to sue the ADL for defamation, claiming that the organization’s reports have hurt advertising sales on X

        Right, exactly. He is the “white” he is referring to.

        The whole thing is a strange statement. I’ve been critical of Israel’s government, but “hatred against whites”? Huh?

          What’s interesting is that this is yet another example about how Jews are only white when it’s convenient.

      You are confusing the issue with an out of context comment.
      While I personally agree with your observation, the ADL group exist specifically to fight antisemitism.
      Your comment helps normalizing Elon Musk insanity. Musk is just butthurt, because he was called out for being an idiot.

      Why did “pushing hatred against” get softened to “discriminate against”? That’s not at all what was said.

        " we don’t hate those people, we just think they’re not as good as we are"

        Splitting the hair might thin there?

          " we don’t hate those people, we just think they’re not as good as we are"

          That’s where it starts.

          No. And why now are we pretending that hating and pushing hate are the same thing? My grandfather hating Chinese people isn’t the same thing as my grandfather’s community organizing to push anti-Chinese propaganda.

          Why can’t we just address what was actually said?

          Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.

            If grandpa hates those people, then he will act in a way that shows he hates those people. This is the same as pushing people to hate those people. The only difference is it’s one person instead of a coordinated effort.

            Are you saying that 10 grandpas is more than 10 times as bad as one grandpa? Is hatred that we can’t easily see better than hatred that we can? I honestly don’t know the answer. But it feels like both are really wrong.

              I’m saying claiming that Jewish communities promote hatred against white people is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory and not at all similar to claiming individuals often harbor discriminatory feelings or even hatred for those outside of their in-group.

                Saying “Jews do X” is always a stupid over simplification. There are more types of beliefs among Jews than there are Christians.

                Do some of them profess hateful things? Yeah, probably. But I think we need to be specific about those groups.

                Just like I won’t say all Christians are hateful bastards. Even though a whole bunch of them are.

      There’s some historical baggage (you know, the Holocaust and also generations of nasty antisemitism) associated with Judaism that makes it worth being a little more nuanced with criticism, though.
