“I’m aspirationally Jewish,” Musk said. “So I was like, ‘What are people talking about with this antisemitism?’ Because I never hear it at dinner conversations."
Elon Musk said he is “Jewish by association” during a conversation with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro after a visit to the former Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz, Poland.
Musk, the Tesla CEO and owner of social media platform X, made the comments during a conference on antisemitism organized by the European Jewish Association. The association had arranged for Musk to make a private visit to Auschwitz, where an estimated 1.1 million Jewish people were killed during the Holocaust.
“I must admit to being somewhat frankly naive about this. In the circles that I move, I see almost no antisemitism. … Two-thirds of my friends are Jewish,” the billionaire tech mogul said in a video posted on YouTube by Bloomberg Technology. “I have twice as many Jewish friends as non-Jewish friends. I’m like Jewish by association.”
Jesus Christ could this guy get any less likeable? He went to Auschwitz because he didn’t hear any anti-semitism at the dinner table? The fuck are you even talking about, dude??

Elon Musk agrees with tweet accusing Jewish people of ‘hatred against whites’
Is he an idiot lacking in self-awareness, or just a good old fashioned liar? Maybe both? The fact that he was getting bad press for his antisemitism and decided that a visit to Auschwitz was a “gotcha” to prove he was a good guy is in itself kind of antisemitic.
Yes. Both.

Asshole.
Where does this rank on the, “George Santos scale of Jew-ish-ness”?

He thinks because he’s got a single Ben Shapiro, he’s got “twice as many Jewish friends” because all his other “friends” have zero Jewish friends.
I would say “That’s not how that math works out” but math has clearly never been his strong suit.
Whenever I think he can’t dig the well of douchebaggery any deeper, he grabs a shovel and proves me wrong.
Is there any “I’m not racist/prejudice” card he didn’t use in that statement?
Part X
Watched tragedy (not really)
Not hearing it from anyone
Friends are X
X by associationI feel he’s finally losing his marbles.
He does that for quite some time already
Elon thinks being Jewish is no big deal basically
It is? Should being any nation have any significance in modern world?
what the fuck
He Reuters retweeted some antisemitic shit and got called out and lost advertisers. This is literally a thinly veiled and comically tone deaf PR piece.
