Elon Musk on Wednesday evening backtracked on his earlier endorsement of an antisemitic post, clarifying that calls for ‘a Jewish genocide’ were ‘unacceptable to any reasonable person’ – but then resuming his long-running series of attacks on the antisemitism watchdog ADL.
Musk, who was in San Francisco for the APEC summit, was accused on Wednesday afternoon of promoting antisemitism after replying to a racist post with the comment: ‘You have said the actual truth.’
He then, two hours later, wrote: ”decolonization’ necessarily implies a Jewish genocide, thus it is unacceptable to any reasonable person.’
Musk, who has been strongly criticized by the Anti-Defamation League and Israel‘s Foreign Ministry for his past remarks, then attacked the ADL, accusing them of racism.
‘And, at the risk of being repetitive, 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,’ he said. ‘I’m sick of it. Stop now.’
