If he knows he has issues he should have someone look it over first. This isn’t the first time & unfortunately won’t be the last time.

He doesn't care. How many people threatened to leave Twitter or boycott Tesla? He's doing fine, and will continue to do fine as long as he doesn't run for office.

Did he really mean that or just back-talking?
He is very vocal, so you can use everything else he's said to figure out what he really feels. He doesn't like antisemitism and he doesn't like anti-white (or any other racism). Here he called out jewish groups for being anti-white.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

This is my take as well.

The original tweet was severely lacking context, but he is going lishitaso and I don't think it was intended to be anti-semitic.
It's anti-woke, and the ADL is on the wrong side of that.

The bigger problem is that because it was so vague, it opens the door for anti-semites to spread their creed.

I think Musk tweeting this clearly dispels any notion that he's an anti-semite.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Although it’s pretty funny/nice that tons of companies pulled advertising bc of the statement. Is it a little bit to do with their disdain for musk himself?
Either way, kol hakavod to them

This is what I posted when he started his feud with the ADL
I was going to type up a whole post, but this guy summed it up quite well:

https://twitter.com/AGHamilton29/status/1698892456039739821

Is Elon Musk an antisemite? I don't know that there is anything to point to that just yet. But no matter where on the spectrum you start off, conspiracy theorists always meet up at the Jews. It starts off with the seemingly legitimate complaints about the ADL. But when every Nazi is joining your "it's just the ADL" campaign, you must realize where it is headed, same for leftists on the "It's just Zionism" train.

It's so very convenient that after he generalizes about "Jewish communities" he narrows it to the ADL, but not just the ADL. Even though the tweet he called "the truth" was not speaking about the ADL or any specific part of the Jewish community.

I don't think there's a black and white way to discern if he is an antisemite or not, but at this stage, what is the difference? He keeps going further down the antisemitism road while giving cover for full fledged neo Nazis.

The fact that he's pro Israel doesn't detract from that

The same way we correctly take MSM to task for headlining a propaganda number to temper it later in the article we should equally take to task someone who headlines a blatantly anti-semitic trope then tempers it to only mean the ADL. This is in many way much worse.

I am self admittedly a close follower of all things Elon. Tesla, Starship, Neuralink etc. (Personally I am more fascinated by the potential of Neuralink than any of his other companies).

I don't think he is intentionally antisemitic. He is clearly on the spectrum and has numerous mental health issues (not an excuse). That being said, in the realm of antisemitism, I think he does significantly more harm than good.

One more point. I think most of the media just uses antisemitism as another means to attack Musk (he is a favored bunching bag for MSM). Doesn't excuse it. Just lacks any nuance and is heavily biased.
