   Twitter owner Elon Musk just blamed the ADL, a Jewish advocacy organization, for the explosion of antisemitism on his platform.

   Blaming Jewish people or groups for the hatred of Jewish people is the same perverted logic found in Hitler's "Mein Kampf."

   Musk is the world's richest person and his companies are paid billions by the US government.

   He posted the message in conversation with Keith Woods, an Irish neo-Nazi whose account Musk reinstated in April a few months after buying Twitter.

     @nickmartin it's very misleading to call the ADL a "Jewish advocacy organization". the ADL is a right-wing Israel lobby group with a decades-long track record of racism and Islamophobia that uses their public image as some sort of "anti-hate" group as political cover to get liberals to treat them as a credible source. (here's a good overview of the ADL's history: https://www.alternet.org/2013/02/how-anti-defamation-league-fuels-islamophobia) and this isn't to defend Elon Musk in the slightest, he's obviously just attacking the ADL because he's a fascist billionaire and an antisemite. but please don't treat the ADL like they're some sort of decent organization or like they actually advocate for Jews (rather than just for the far-right ruling regime of the Israeli state) just because they're being attacked by a fascist billionaire

     Twitter can have a little anti-semitism, as a treat
