He would blame Muslims. Musk just had the Christmas market attacker’s pro-Israel tweets removed.
Except he also hates Jews.
This reads more like he hates Muslims/immigrants and is using antisemitism as a weapon to try and get Jewish people to hate them too.
I have no idea how you could interpret it that way. Absolutely no one else did.
Even the White House decided to comment on it: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67446800
And he basically admitted it because he then did some really stupid damage control: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/article/2024/01/23/elon-musk-says-he-was-naive-on-antisemitism-as-he-visits-auschwitz_6456954_13.html
The second paragraph is just that. Contempt for (western) Jewish people because they are (apperently) pro immigration and are now supposedly reaping the consequences of that.
I'm not trying to excuse the anti-semitism, just this more of a comment on immigration that Jews themselves. Just like how these people attack the LGBT community for supporting Palestine.
The comment he claimed was “the actual truth” included the suggestion that there’s a difference between white people and Jews. Most Jews are white.

And anyone on the rescue operation is a pedo
