In the middle of Israel’s war with Hamas and with antisemitism on the rise, South African immigrant Elon Musk decided to add fuel to the dangerous fire by accusing Jews of, among other things, being too pro-immigrant and anti-white.

The sentiment Musk endorsed to his 163.1 million followers (screen shot below), reads:

Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.

I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much.

You want truth said to your face. There it is.

There’s so much awfulness in that tweet. But I’ll start with the fact that most Jewish people are white, including yours truly, a third-generation American. The fact that this tweeter, whom I will not name, doesn’t know or refuses to believe that tells you all you need to know about him. Second, there’s a heck of a lot of homegrown antisemitism from other white people who do not appear to be immigrants. That includes Trump buddy Nick Fuentes. Third, the tweet’s antisemitism reeks off the computer screen as if the author was just looking for an excuse to attack Jews.

But South African Musk didn’t just tolerate this kind of hatred on his social media platform. He elevated and endorsed it with a tweeted reply: “You have said the actual truth.” Last I checked, Musk’s feed said the response got 1.2 million views.

A.J. Delgado is right. The U.S. government should not be doing any kind of business with Musk.
