Calling out the ADL’s racism isn’t antisemitic. It’s anti-racist. Here’s a simple test, would you call out racists regardless of their ethnicity? If the answer is yes, it’s not racist. If no, then you are racist. Period.

I believe the ADL is not immune from being racist and has arguably engaged in racism, but I also believe that the post Musk was lauding was unreasonable and hateful. They aren't the mutually exclusive opinions you are implying they are. If that person had made a comment in the same format with the same tone about white people, I would feel the same way.

He conflated the ADL with western Jewish populations, though, and agreed that Jewish communities as a whole have been spreading anti-white hatred, not just the ADL. https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1724908287471272299#m https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1724908287471272299#m >> Okay. >> Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them. >> 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. >> You want truth said to your face, there it is. > You have said the actual truth. > The ADL unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel. > This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups who are their primary threat. >It is not right and needs to stop.

People are going to read "Jewish communties" as "the Jews" with posts like this. The posters know it, we know it, and the advertisers know it. In positions like his, Musk should damn well know it too. It doesn't matter how unreasonable that is or isn't, it's clear how advertisers are going to react to something like this.

  People are reading it like that because that is what those words in that order mean. A different tweet an hour later, backpedaling from those words, doesn't change their meaning.
