IBM, Lionsgate, the European Union, and, reportedly, Apple, have all pulled advertising from X following Elon Musk’s apparent endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory. Experts say it could soon get much worse.
It’s not that he sided against Israel. It’s that he sided against Jews. The Israeli government and its supporters like to conflate the two a lot, but they are very different things.
So when someone writes “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” and Musk responds with “You have spoken the actual truth.”, that is not an anti-Israel position, that is an antisemite position, one that couldn’t be made more clearer even if he posted it with a picture of Auschwitz
Anti-semitism is a real thing, but Israel-Palestine has always made it harder to understand. If it is truly anti-religious or just questioning Israel gov’t and actions.
I hate this dude (I started this community, actually) but he did indeed propose a ceasefire. My head nearly exploded when I heard him say it but he totally did. I’m sure he also said some actual antisemitic shit too, of course. But I think it’s important to note that he has actually called for a ceasefire unlike my former hero Bernie Sanders.
I’m sorry, but proclaiming that Jews are conspiratorially poisoning the world against whites is not remotely related to Israel/Palestine. It’s blatant Nazi shit. Muddying the waters is also generally crypto-fascist shit, but I don’t know you and I’m not going to put that label on you. Just realize that’s what you’re doing.
Seems like a smear of Musk for not siding with Israel and instead calling for a ceasefire or peace.
Looking at the talk Musk had with Lex Fridman.

Amen!
Please don’t conflate anti-semitism with Pro Palestinian voices. What he is doing is not helping anyone.

To add on to what others have already said
He didn’t do that either though? He attacked those calling for peace/ceasefire
He’s attacking everyone, as if he’s trying to distract people from each controversy with a different controversy

Full disclosure: My new hero is Rashida Tlaib.

He wasn’t really in good standing before the conflict.
True, politics makes Musk a tribalist issue.
He wrote that the jews are responsible for the great replacement conspiracy theory, how is that not antisemitic?
He in fact demonstrated the clear distinction between being an antisemitic Nazi fuckwit and opposing Israeli military actions in Gaza.
