I couldn’t make up a more ridiculous plot even if I tried. At this rate I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk got involved. It’s already ridiculous enough, why not.

Currently, there are shareholders petitioning the board of Tesla for him to be suspended due to the antisemitic posts. Maybe this will be the week of the CEO's... :-)

  Wait, what antisemitic posts?

      I don't grok the original tweet very well, and I don't understand what Musk means by his reply. Can someone ELI5?

        Musk doesn't like the ADL. Media are spinning this as "anti-semitic," hoping the emotions around the issues will prevent most people from reading carefully.

        Wait just a minute here: > The tweet literally blames immigrants I'm not familiar with the tweet Musk was referencing. Exactly which immigrants? Are these Jewish immigrants? I thought this was a reference to mostly non-Jewish immigrants to Israel. > 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. This also indicates the immigrants are non-Jewish. Exactly what is the "anti-semitism" here? This is flagrantly antisemitic and pushes multiple bigoted conspiracy theories. What conspiracy theory, exactly?

        The conspiracy theory is that Jews are in charge of the world and control things like who gets to immigrate to the USA. The argument he's making (which I've seen more openly stated in other places) is: "Jews don't like it that minorities are killing them in their country, but that's just deserts for them pushing immigrants to my country". Antisemites are more coy on popular platforms like Twitter so it's more difficult to understand what they're saying if you're not already familiar with their world view.

      That… doesn’t seem antisemetic. Rather, it seems to criticize western Jews for supporting lax immigration and cultural policies that are against their own interests. Or are we now saying any criticism of Jews is antisemitism?
      - xdennis 3y ago
        Yes, it's antisemitic because it's using the antisemitic trope of Jews controlling the world, in this case immigration (remember "Jews will not replace us"). > western Jews for supporting lax immigration Jews don't have a single opinion on immigration. Do you think Ben Shapiro wants more immigrants? If I said that "Asians are good at math" I'd be derided as a racist for invoking that stereotype, but somehow people think it's okay to say that "Jews support lax immigration".

        Accusing Jews of “dialectical hatred against whites” seems like a fairly prejudiced statement.

Well, there was a tweet by one of the Bloomberg's journalist saying that Musk tried to manouver himself to be the replacement CEO but got rebuffed by the board. Paraphrasing this since the tweet seems to be deleted (?), so take of it what you will.

  That sounds more likely than anything else I've heard about this. Doesn’t really matter if it’s true: it’s painfully true to form.
