Elon Musk tweeted his fervent agreement with an antisemitic statement on Wednesday night.
A tweet posted by @breakingbaht on Wednesday night read: “Jewish communties [sic] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”
The billionaire owner and CTO of X, formerly Twitter, responded the same evening: “You have said the actual truth.” In another reply, he wrote: “I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind.” Musk has feuded with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) before, threatening to sue over its accounting of hate speech on his social media network.
The ADL’s CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, decried Musk’s endorsement of the antisemitic conspiracy. He wrote: “At a time when antisemitism is exploding in America and surging around the world, it is indisputably dangerous to use one’s influence to validate and promote antisemitic theories. #NeverIsNow.”

For those uninformed the juxtaposition between the far-right's open anti-Semitism in the form of The Replacement Theory and the fervent support for the State of Israel may seem to be a circle that's hard to square. Be assured that it's far easier to explain than you might think.
Much of the Far Right's thinking comes from Christian Identity and more specificially the Christian Zionist movement.
Christian Zionism holds that when Jews are returned to Israel and a conflict is provoked in the region between Muslims and Jews the result will be the extermination of the Jews - with the exception of a few who convert to Christianity - and that will prompt the Second Coming, whereupon Jesus will eliminate Muslims with a wave of his hand. Depending on what flavour of Christian Zionist nutter you're talking to Atheists, LGBTQ, Blacks, Asians and all the usual suspects will also be eliminated by this hand wave and a 'Perfect' world - presumably led by Donald Trump - is all that will remain.
