Summary

Elon Musk escalated controversy over accusations that his salute at a Trump rally resembled a “Sieg heil” by posting Nazi-related jokes on X, referencing figures like Rudolf Hess and Joseph Goebbels.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) initially defended Musk, urging “a bit of grace” and “benefit of the doubt,” but later condemned his Holocaust-related jokes as offensive.

Conservative Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also defended Musk.

Critics highlighted Musk’s history of promoting far-right conspiracy theories and enabling neo-Nazi content on X, raising concerns about increasing offensive rhetoric on the platform.

    The ADL lost all credibility forever, and the right to open their trap about anything, when they failed to condemn Musk’s Nazi salute in the strongest possible terms.

    It’s not great when gentiles don’t distance themselves clearly from the South African Nazi. But when jews don’t either - especially jews who purport to defend against defamation of all things - it’s extremely clear that those people are either totally corrupt or extremely wimpy.
