"Highly offensive": ADL sours on Musk over puns that "trivialize the Holocaust"

Salon  

The Anti-Defamation League spoke out on Thursday over a series Nazi Germany-themed puns posted by billionaire Elon Musk, slamming what it called “inappropriate and highly offensive jokes that trivialize the Holocaust.” Musk's post contained the names of several German leaders who engineered the Holocaust in a Thursday morning post to X. In a quote-tweet, ADL CEO Johnathan Greenblatt warned Musk that it was “inappropriate and offensive to make light of.a singularly evil event.” “Making inappropriate and highly offensive jokes that trivialize the Holocaust only serve to minimize the evil and inhumanity of Nazi crimes, denigrate the suffering of both victims and survivors and insult the memory of the six million Jews murdered in the Shoah,” the ADL said in a statement from its official account. The ADL had defended Musk earlier in the week, saying his stiff-armed salute was “an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm.” Musk made the gesture before telling the crowd that “the future of civilization is assured,” a phrase critics noted resembled the neo-Nazi “14 Words,” a slogan the ADL classifies as a hate symbol. Months before Musk backed Donald Trump’s presidential bid, the ADL slammed his endorsement of a post claiming Jewish people were pushing “hatred against whites.”
