Recently, a user on the social network X (formerly known as Twitter) posted an anti-Semitic message. It accused members of the Jewish community of promoting "dialectical hatred" against white people.

Musk decided to join the discussion and wrote: "You have said the actual truth."

"The ADL unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel. This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups who are their primary threat. It is not right and needs to stop," the businessman stressed.

User reaction

This position of the network owner (as well as the post itself) outraged many users.

Some of them warned the entrepreneur against such comments, saying it was unfair to make generalizations about Jewish communities that allegedly "promote hatred of white people."

Other reactions include the following:

  • "I love how this one tweet has made Elon Musk poorer"
  • "An accidental bigot and a brilliant intellectual met on social media"
  • "Where are you getting this misinformation? Many Jews are white, why would we turn against ourselves? Don't you feel a little racist and anti-Semitic yourself?"
  • "Elon, you can scroll through the responses and see who you agree with."
  • "It's beyond disappointing to hear from you again."
  • "Dude. What are you talking about? What Jews are stirring up anti-white hate?"
  • "This is the 'real truth'? Wow."

Musk's explanation

At the same time, the billionaire clarified in another comment "You right that this does not extend to all Jewish communities, but it is also not just limited to ADL."
