Musk posted follow-up responses to his own response to someone who is Jewish. There is nuance in the discussion that is being completely lost.
Here is one of his responses further down: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1724934935943979269 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1724934935943979269
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agothe place for nuance was in his original post sadly, this is a common occurrence for elmu, saying something horrible with a clear intention to troll people who disagree with horrible things, claiming his intentionally ambiguous post was misinterpreted, etc. Those who give him the benefit of the doubt after him having done this so frequently are likely just fans of his engaging in sophistry.
- Dig1t 3y agoFrom his original post: musk: "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." whatsupfranks: "Yes, but this is not fair to say or truthful to say that ‘Jewish communities’ promote dialectical hatred towards white. Say what you want about the ADL, but don’t generalize the Jewish community." musk: "You right that this does not extend to all Jewish communities, but it is also not just limited to ADL" musk: "And, at the risk of being repetitive, I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind." To me, it does not sound like Musk hates Jews, honestly don't know how anyone can take that away from this exchange.
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agoYou clearly have not read the post everyone is discussing, which doesn't mention the ADL at all. It agrees with a post railing on jews. Not the ADL. "Jews". Here is the post in question, I urge you to read what everyone is actually discussing: https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1724908287471272299#m https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1724908287471272299#m "You have said the actual truth" in response to a post railing on jews. What he said after that is irrelevant, because the only appropriate responses to posts railing on jews is flatly ignoring or condemning them. Agreeing is the literal opposite.
- Dig1t 3y agoThe posts I quoted are literally follow ups to the exact thread that everyone is talking about. Musk has had a previous series of exchanges and controversies specifically with the ADL as well since they started a multi-brand advertising boycott immediately after he bought the company. That’s why he mentions it.
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agoReposting this because I think it got missed: "You have said the actual truth" is what elmu said in response to a post railing on jews. ---> What he said after that, about the ADL or whatever, is irrelevant <---, because the only appropriate responses to posts railing on jews is flatly ignoring or condemning them. Agreeing is the literal opposite. You can't literally agree with nazi shit and then try to walk it back claiming you meant the opposite.
- Dig1t 3y ago“The only appropriate response” implies that Jews cannot be criticized or questioned in any way. Reading the exchange it is very obvious that musk does not hate Jewish people and is not saying anything hateful about them.
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agoIs this the first time you've been informed that it's bad to make negative generalizations of people based on their religion or ethnicity?
