      I can’t think of any examples on top of my head, but after watching tens of hours of his interviews and such, I can asure you he himself believes his money would do more net good how he is allocating it now than if he just donated it all.

          Link me a comment where I was defending him for being antisemite. I’ll wait!

              This doesn’t mean I don’t think him saying that Jewish people oppress White people is bad. I just was personally expecting an example which is even worse. If you interpreted this as me defending him for calling out Jewish people for something they didn’t do - you have interpreted it wrong. Either by your or my mistake, it’s possible I worded it in a way where it might seem like I agree with him. FYI I still don’t know the context, and I highly doubt he is actually an anti-semite (tho maybe I’m wrong, but I doubt it).

                What is ‘even worse’ than bigotry? You asked me to show you an example of him saying something horrible. You clearly don’t think saying “this is true” about the claim that Jews oppress white people isn’t horrible enough to be called horrible for some reason.

                I still don’t know the context

                The context was that there was an antisemitic tweet and Elon said ‘this is true.’ I’m not sure what more context you need.

                I highly doubt he is actually an anti-semite

                He said ‘this is true’ in response to an antisemitic tweet. Guess what that makes him?

                  In my book, horrible would be something like physically killing or beating people or calling for genocide or something idk. I will do some more research on the tweet and context in question before I respond.

                    Again-

                    Let’s say it didn’t say ‘Jewish.’ Let’s say it said: ‘black communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them’ and Elon said ‘this is true.’ Would you say that he wasn’t being racist?

                    You shouldn’t have to research that. The answer should be obvious.
