Elon's Takes Another Trip To The Top Of Twitter Trending After Users Interpret One Of His Tweets As Anti-Semitic And Promoting 'Great Replacement Theory'

Elon Musk has returned to the top of Twitter's trending tab after using the platform he paid $44 billion for to make a controversial statement that many perceived as him agreeing with antisemitic rhetoric.

Yesterday, Charles Weber, a self-proclaimed Jewish conservative, posted a PSA in which a father lectures his son after seeing him post "Hitler was right." In response, user @breakingbaht posted a rant saying "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 [expletive] 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," he added.

To this point, Musk chimed in with, "You have said the actual truth."

Musk added, "The ADL [Anti-Defamation League] unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel. This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups who are their primary threat. It is not right and needs to stop."

To a swath of Twitter / X users, it seemed that in Musk's view, he believed Jews, represented by the Anti-Defamation League, were "unjustly attacking" the "majority of the West," and considering he appeared to endorse the tweet by @breakingbaht, it was perceived that he agreed with the point that Jews as a whole are engaging in a sort of reverse racism against white people.

He also endorsed "not giving a [expletive]" about Jews' concern about "hordes of minorities" that "don't like them" "flooding their nation." Critics have pointed out that the statement is part of The Great Replacement Theory, which was the motivation behind the 2018 Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting.

Online, this was taken by many as Musk essentially endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory, which was made worse in the context of a conversation started by a tweet about the phrase "Hitler was right."

Elon Musk's eyebrow-raising comments about the ADL were only some of the comments he's made in the past 24 hours that had various social media users alarmed that Musk is using Twitter to promote white supremacist ideology.

Musk also supported the idea that white people should be allowed to celebrate their race like other races, agreeing with a post that seemed to imply white people have done "a lot of good for the world" compared to other races.
