Why Elon Musk can’t stop himself from posting antisemitic tweets.

Elon Musk faces a lot of problems in his ownership of the social network once called Twitter. Musk’s humiliation of the moment is that, on the last Friday before Black Friday, Apple is pausing Displaying On Thursday—in a tweeted response to some random antisemite who had fewer than 5,000 followers—Musk made clear how he feels about Jewish people’s treatment of “whites.” This otherwise inconsequential poster, using the handle @breakingbaht, wrote: “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” He added, “I’m deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don’t exactly like them too much. In this one, he swapped out “Jewish communities” from the initial poster’s tweet and swapped in one specific Jewish organization, the Anti-Defamation League, that has previously made him pouty. It is not right and needs to stop.” When someone pointed out that Musk was using one group, the ADL, as a substitute for Jews at large, he wrote: “ right that this does not extend to all Jewish communities, but it is also not just limited to ADL.” Related From Slate Why Donald Trump’s Social Network Is in So Much Trouble Musk was just spitting up word salad here, and few people seem to have any idea what he is talking about when he says the group “attacks the majority of the West.” At this very moment, the ADL is taking on a high-profile fight in which it is in fact directly aligned with most of the world’s Western governments in supporting Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip. Yet the statement Musk considers to be “the actual truth” is that the ADL is pushing “dialectical hatred against whites.” He’s not even paying attention to the news!
