American entrepreneur Elon Musk has drawn the ire of the Joe Biden administration amid the war in the Gaza Strip.
The White House today accused Elon Musk of “disgracefully promoting anti-Semitic and racist sentiments” in one of his posts on the X social network (until recently, “Twitter”), France Press reported, BTA reported.
The billionaire responded on Wednesday to the owner of the account, who wrote that the Jewish people promote “hate against whites,” with the following message: “You spoke the very truth.” According to the White House, the publication does reflect a conspiracy theory popular among white nationalists that Jews have a secret plan to encourage clandestine immigration to Western countries to undermine white majority rule. This conspiracy theory was espoused by the perpetrator of the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue attack that killed 11 people.
“It is unacceptable to repeat the lie of the perpetrator of the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in US history,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement, referring to the attack in Pittsburgh.
After his initial response, Elon Musk went on to claim that the Anti-Defamation League, an association that fights anti-Semitism, “unfairly attacks the majority in Western countries, despite the fact that the majority of the West supports the Jewish people and Israel.” “This is because they cannot, according to their own principles, criticize the minority groups that pose the main threat” to the Jewish people, Musk added.
The Anti-Defamation League is one of the non-governmental organizations that has condemned the significant increase in misinformation and homophobic and racist slurs on X since the social network’s moderation rules changed with the arrival of Elon Musk. The owner of Tesla and SpaceX already hit out at the Anti-Defamation League in early September, saying the organization was “responsible for the majority of the loss of revenue” from the X social network.
