It’s Extremely Dangerous to Excuse Elon Musk’s Vile Anti-Semitism
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2023-11-28

One day after Elon Musk endorsed an anti-semitic conspiracy theory on Twitter, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt praised Musk’s “leadership in fighting hate” after he announced that the platform would be censoring certain pro-Palestinian phrases. Musk was also given a tour in Israel by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Elon Musk is seemingly getting a pass for his anti-semitism because he’s now aiding the Israeli government in their war propaganda effort in a shameless attempt to convince Twitter’s advertisers he’s not anti-semitic. In this video we’ll discuss the dangerous implications of (1) Musk getting a pass for his anti-semitism, and (2) the cynical use of allegations of anti-semitism to shut down criticism of Israel’s government.
