Since Musk bought Twitter, now called X, the self-described “free speech absolutist” has faced criticism from hate-speech watchdogs for allowing extremist, dangerous and antisemitic comments to flourish on the social media platform. His response has been to attack his critics, suing one group unsuccessfully after advertisers fled X and threatening to sue another, the Anti-Defamation League, which urged calm at what it called a “delicate moment” in its statement Monday.
Kurt Braddock, a professor of communication at American University who studies extremism, radicalization and terrorism, said the gesture was a fascist salute and “people shouldn’t doubt what they saw.”
“I know what I saw, I know what the response to it was among elements of the extreme right including neo-Nazis, Braddock said. “And none of it is a laughing matter.”
Before Musk bought Twitter, it was already a cesspool of anti-Semitism. It's just it all came from the left and the Muslim users so it didn't count.
ReplyDeleteI mean really, how many times did ayatollah Khameini use his Twitter account to deny the Holocaust and call for the destruction of Israel?
I remember once when Rav Hershel schachter made a slip of the tongue and used the word schvartze, that he became the villain on this blog.

Best line was from the Babylon Bee: Liberals stop shouting "Death to Israel" to instead call Musk a Nazi.
