Did you not see this exchange last year?

> @breakingbaht: "Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them."

> @elonmusk: "You have said the actual truth."

It's hard to get more explicit than that.

Taken in context, additional tweets:

@elonmusk: 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.”

ADL literally defined racism as: “the marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges White people.”

Such that white people can't be discriminated against.

The ADL is a Jewish run organization.

I agree with Elon on this. I don't think this is anti-semitic, this is calling out Jewish communities for anti-white racism.

It's kind of disgusting that in your haste to demonize Musk you cherry pick your information instead of trying to get to the truth.

Jewish communities are not some totally innocent group of people they have flaws just like the rest of human beings and calling them out is not "anti-semitic".

Musk apparently doesn't agree with this tweet anymore, a while after his tweet he apologized and called it his dumbest post ever. Why did he do that, instead of explaining his tweet the way you did?

I'm only following Elons own words on this topic - he disagrees with the statements he made, and explained that he simply hadn't come into contact with a lot of anti-semitism before. Why did he do all of that, if he doesn't see any anti-semitism in the original post?
