Elon Musk Wildly Attacks The ADL As One Of ‘The Biggest Generators Of Anti-Semitism’ In Reply to Notorious White Nationalist
Elon Musk doubled down on his attacks on the Anti-Defamation League over the weekend while engaging with a notorious antisemite and white nationalist who helped #BanTheADL trend
Blaming the Jews for your problems, problems you yourself have caused and continue to cause, precisely what Musk is doing here, is the very dictionary definition of antisemitism
Exactly. I don’t know why anyone listens to racists’ definition of racism, or antisemites’ definition of antisemitism.
Or anything coming out of the mouths of obvious bad faith actors.
It's also a page out of the conservative playbook. A classic.
We really, really need to be okay with punching nazis in the face again.
Also unrepentant Afrikaners and their descendants.
Daarsy
And taxing the everloving jesus out of billionaires.
So pretty much blaming Jews for it.
Seems like he’s missing a little mustache and some nice high boots.
What an asshole.
Desantis has a nice tall pair of white boots he could borrow. Although I'm not sure if it would clash with the Hugo Boss suit.
So is Elon just prepping Twitter to be the next hate based social media site? Looks like truth social might be out of money soon so I guess those folks need somewhere to go.
That was always the point. This all started because he was trying to use his influence to shame Twitter into platforming the far-right and then accidentally ended up comitting to buy it.
Everything he has done since has either been to benefit far-right racists and reactionaries or try and mitigate the massive loss he is going to take with the purchase.
All at the expense of trashing a carefully cultivated image of a wise technocrat and revealing himself to instead be one of the largest idiots alive. Conservatism is a helluva drug.
Out of money soon on purpose. A bunch of people will take the loss, carry it forward on their taxes, and now that Trump is allowed back on Twitter, truth social has served its actual purpose.
those DWAC cultists are a whole other level of crazy
(To the tune of "Nowhere Man")
He's a real Nazi dong
Even if he smokes the bong
Being Nazi still is wrong todaaayDoesn't know what free speech is
Buys and trashes Twitter biz
Hates you if you're queer or trans or gaaaayElon Musk, stop sucking
We don't care who you're fucking
Elon Musk, I fear that your brain is merely a huskFuck mate. You’re the real John Lennon of Lemmy….John Lemmon
"Pointing out my antisemitism is making me more antisemitic! It's your fault!"
Funny how he also said he's transphobic because his kid is trans. Seems like it's just everyone else making him a bigot.
I mean, if other people force you to be a bigot, aren't you the real victim?
Someone linked to a substack full of screenshots of antisemitism on Shitter from the weekend. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and I wasn't at the halfway point when I closed the tab. It was a bummer. A real lose-hope moment.
i think it shows a lot of weakness.. he's probably pretty worried about legal troubles.. maybe very worried, so naturally he lashes out at a legal organization..
And his sycophants will still apologize for him.
His sycophants make me sick.
Make you sick-ophant?
it's an old tactic.. blame the victims for their oppression.. imply that if they would just behave, things wouldn't be so bad for them..
All the money in the world clearly can't buy class, 'cause all he'll ever be is pure fascist trash.
That is lyrical.
Because obscenely rich people are experts on everything.

his only defense is always just "no u"
I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon shows up at the “eugenics” conference in Austin, TX at this point.
Why does this city attract the worst Californians, smh.
Because they hear "getting tech hub" and see dollar signs 🤑
As a Texan, it just seems like Austin combines the worst parts of Cali and the worst parts of Texas.
Then again, I've only driven through Austin, and if I stopped it was just to pee or grab fast food or something.

Yup, way too much sway in the world in general.
It's awfully interesting that so many members of the "liberal media" are still using that Nazi site.
....did I say "interesting"? I meant to say - predictable.
The media isn’t liberal. They are capitalist. In a world where the Conservative Party wasn’t bonkers, they’d be center-right due to their for profit nature. People are still on Twitter so that’s where they engage. It’s as simple as that.
Gunna be pedantic a sec and point out that "liberalism" is by it's foundation capitalist because it uses capitalism as it's default assumption. The high level of afforded consideration on personal property rights outside of government interference and emphasis on an unrestricted market are features of that philosophy. Conservative ideology is actually also by it's nature based on libralisml as its base and the American Liberal party is actually... Still on the whole basically the same ideology just with a socialist coat of paint.
A lot of the regulations on capitalist functions come from socialism. The branch of it that embraces a sort of mixed system where regulations keep the public safe from unchecked capitalism while still keeping the structure of capitalist architecture is "market socialism"
However since Americans treat the Liberal party like it is socialist, Conservatives derogatorily because they equate socialism as a slippery slope to communism (despite a history of market socialism causing a great deal of stability in the past) and Liberals as something to be weeded out because it's idealism threatens the internal kickbacks of supporting unfettered capitalism... Hence why socialist friendly candidates are usually turned into backseaters through the Democrat's process of elimination for the big ticket seats.
So it actually benefits the media to treat liberals as the far left and occasionally be in their corner and treated as the only other valid share of the political "marketplace" of ideas. Because liberal ideology and the Liberal party are not nessisarily a hazard to capitalism. Everything to the left of that gets little air time.
There still isn’t an alternative. Talk about Mastodon all you want, but the majority of users can’t be reached there. Twitter is still full of “normal”/non-techie people and those are the ones they’re trying to reach.
Until something has the critical mass of the Twitter userbase it’d be stupid of them to abandon the platform.
I feel like the ADL, a group of lawyers who come from a community of people who literally devote their lives to arguing over interpretations of texts, is pretty capable of defending themselves against this hairless apes attacks.
I really hope this goes to a trial LoL. Musk will continue to self own until he immolates.
How stupid.
Do you want lawsuits? Because this is how you get lawsuits!
Musk is a scoundrel.
Also, a rogue and blackguard.
How ? I just don't see it.
Based on the current flutterings about the social media site formerly known as Twitter it would presumably be because virtually anything seen as pro-white is a hate symbol, as well as various seemingly innocuous things. The most notorious being the OK hand sign, largely because it being pushed as a white supremacist hand sign was literally started as a 4chan prank (dubbed "Operation OKKK") whose purpose was to make the sort of media types actively looking for hidden crypto-fascist signaling from people look like absolute loons by just bathing them in false positives.
For example, the numbers in your username manage not to be a hate symbol, but had they been 2316 instead of 2215 they would be a hate symbol according to ADL because W is the 23rd letter and P is the 16th, therefore 2316=WP=White Power.
Numbers that are hate symbols include: 100%, 109/110, 1-11, 12, 13, 13/52, 13/90, 14, 1423, 1488, 18, 211, 21-2-12, 23, 23/16, 28, 311, 318, 33/6, 38, 43, 5, 511, 737, 83, 88, and 9%.
I keep waiting for some modern neo-Nazi group to use the ASCII codes instead of position in the alphabet so that list can suddenly be much longer.
