| Elon Musk and the ADL seem to have patched things up |
| 2023-10-05 |
| [HotAir] You may recall that a month ago Elon Musk announced on X that he was considering a lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League. ...This followed arguments between Musk and the ADL earlier this summer after Musk made some comments about George Soros. In a tweet late Monday, Musk compared him to X-Men villain Magneto, who like Soros was a survivor of the Holocaust, according to the comics’ back story for the character. When a Twitter user defended Soros as having good intentions which are criticized by those who disagree with his politics, Musk responded, "You assume they are good intentions. They are not. He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity." IMO, an important principle involved here. Saying that a particular member of some group is a piece of $hit, doesn't mean a hostility to the whole group. On the side of ADL, there's the fact that anti-Semitic propaganda has a standard format "One Jew is bad, therefore all Jews...". But, "people" to whom that argument is addressed are already convinced.
