The ADL is a major Jewish organization that is widely supported by the American Jewish community. It's not some tiny irrelevant fringe group within their community. He explained further in the same thread.

  If you believe there is zero difference between railing on the ADL and railing on jews (elmu agrees with both) then you are completely lost.

    Yes agreed. ADL != all Jews. That's the point. 1. The initial comment and reply on Twitter made it appear that Musk was possibly referring to all Jews. 2. His subsequent replies in the same thread clarified that this was not what he had in mind, as he was referring to powerful influential subsets of Jews such as the ADL. If you are completely stuck on #1 and cannot understand or accept #2 then I cannot help you any further.

      1. The initial comment was about jews, not the ADL. I've linked it below [0]. "Jews" != ADL, and he was talking about the former, not the latter, no matter how many failing Jedi mind tricks you try while handwaving away elmu's jew hate. 2. Your subsequent sophistry trying to pretend that his later replies somehow cancel out his initial reply (which hated on jews, see #1) is unconvincing, hence why nobody believes it except a few fans of his. It doesn't matter if he regretted his first post and tried to backpedal from it over an hour after he was widely condemned for it. He still made it. If you are completely stuck on #2 and cannot understand or accept #1 then you cannot be helped any further.
