What Elon Musk Said About Antisemitism
This illustration photo created in Washington, DC, on July 24, 2023, shows the Twitter page of Elon Musk in front of the new X Twitter logo and old bird Twitter logo. Elon Musk killed off the Twitter logo on July 24, 2023, replacing the world-recognized blue bird with a white X as the tycoon accelerates his efforts to transform the floundering social media giant.
Recently, an X user got the attention of Elon Musk after saying that Jewish communities in the U.S. are also spreading hatred against white people despite wanting others to stop being antisemitic.
The billionaire simply replied, saying that what the X user said was the "actual truth." What the tech executive said created more debates regarding antisemitism.
Some netizens criticized Elon Musk, saying that he shouldn't further ignite the antisemitism in the U.S. However, there are also those who agree with him.
They said that antisemitic people in the U.S. are far less compared to Americans who support Jewish communities. But, ADL (Anti-Defamation League) and other similar organizations are making it look like the majority of U.S. residents are against Jews.
This is what Musk also believes. The billionaire explained that ADL and other pro-Jews organizations are attacking the majority of the West because they can't criticize the minority groups who are antisemitic.
As of writing, the antisemitism in the U.S. is becoming more and more controversial as the Israel-Hamas war worsens.
