Remove the ‘white’ and you are correct.

What does this have to do with antisemitism? Are you assuming that Jewish people sterilize kids and that must be what Elon is on about? To me, it is incredibly odd to make that leap.


DP... it doesn't have anything to do with antisemitism but it does show how far off the deep end Elon Musk is. If I were on the board of Tesla or his other companies I'd be pushing to have him step down and go in for psychiatric treatment.


Like anything else, if you view that tweet in isolation, it looks very odd and paranoid. But if you read the surrounding tweets, he lays out his concerns about recent California legislation requiring that parents affirm a gender transition.

In fact, this is the majority position in the US. It's not even on partisan lines, it's just the mainstream view: https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3991685-majority-of-americans-oppose-gender-affirming-care-for-minors-trans-women-participating-in-sports-poll/amp/

This is in no way similar to Kanye's unhinged rants, nor is it antisemitic or bigoted. Lots of parents who love and support their trans kids choose not to use puberty blockers, and it's not bigoted of them. It's their choice about what's best for their kid's health.



All it says is that Elon Musk can walk it back when he says something unhinged.

I mean what the hell was that feud with the rescuer of the kids trapped in a cave in Thailand? He wanted them to use his submarine and they didn't. Normal people would just let it drop. Why did he have to make attacks, call the rescuer "pedo guy"? Unforced error. Yes he survived his defamation trial but because he convinced the jury it was a joke and he deleted the tweet. But it does not explain why their lack of interest in his submarine ended up in a twitter feud. Not normal.

Also not normal is for the Chairman of a company to claim he is taking the company private and declaring "funding secured" when in fact it was not. This cost his company money and cost him the chairmanship. A normal chairman knows what securities fraud is. This is securities fraud.

But the worst is probably the fact that he did not really want to buy Twitter, but was forced to do so. Because he made a $44b bid that waived due diligence. Unheard of for any significant transaction. And that more than anything else shows the depth of his problems. Every single thing he does with Twitter is due to the fact that he put himself in a financial hole by overpaying, and now he is desperate to keep twitter from falling into the hands of the bankers.


These are all fair points. The cave thing was weird and the lead up to the Twitter acquisition shows Elon was clearly not in a super logical headspace. I don't see him as Kanye-level schizophrenic though. I'm just not buying that narrative.

Look closer and stop writing excuses for him like so many did to explain Trump’s crazed tweeting back in the day. If it takes you three paragraphs to say he looks crazy but he isn’t really, he just might be crazy.

This. And he often tweets or retweets misinformation. For example, conspiracy theories about the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband, the Nazi McAllen Texas shooter, and more. Come on! When you're in charge of the self-proclaimed "Digital Town Square" you should not be doing this!!

Defaming Twitter would not be legal, but the evidence of a spike in anti-semitic tweets following Musk's takeover includes
(1) independent research
(2) the admission of Twitter's own head of Safety and Security, and
(3) research funded by several civil rights groups including ADL


I don't accept the research at face value and think it is probably manipulated to defame Elon. I don't think it's likely that can be proven, though.

So every single thing that anyone has noticed or studied about Twitter since his takeover is just to sh!t on Elon? You won’t admit that anything has actually gotten worse? Huh.


I am a right wing Jew who does not have a Jewish last name. I should be seeing these anti-Semitic tweets. I do not
