#US / ADL condemns Musk's Nazi jokes after Initial defense of his Nazi salut and following Jewish groups exodus from X
Following an exodus of Jewish organizations from X due to rising #antisemitism under Elon #Musk's ownership, the Anti-Defamation League (#ADL) condemned Musk for making light of the Holocaust with Nazi-related jokes. The ADL’s about-face occurred just days after it initially defended Musk's controversial gesture at an inauguration event, downplaying comparisons to a Nazi salute and urging for “understanding”.
However, Musk's subsequent Nazi-referencing puns, made in response to criticism, prompted the ADL to issue a statement asserting that such jokes trivialize the #Holocaust, diminish the suffering of victims, and insult the memory of those murdered.
Yet, the ADL has not acknowledged #Israel's genocide in Gaza, and disturbingly, continues to ignore the weaponizing of the Holocaust to justify Israel's actions.

Must say, Musk joking "bet you did nazi that coming" sounds a lot like a self referencing confession.
