Elon Musk has been working with open anti-Semites this week to mobilize people against the Anti-Defamation League, blaming declining advertising sales (caused by his efforts to welcome self-declared Nazis back to Twitter) on Jewish people.
Now, in dialogue with one of these bigots, Musk is promising to do a "giant data dump" on the ADL and other groups, with the presumable goal of enabling anti-Semites to harass, attack, and kill people.
In 2022, we warned that Musk took over Twitter with the explicit goal of seizing territory for the far right, but even we didn't expect it to go so far, so fast.

Punchline: they haven't had a full staff on hand since he took power and fired half the work force. They might still be short-staffed next week.

Unknown parent • • •It's hard to tell how strategic Musk's behavior is here. He seems to be willing to take a financial loss in order to promote anti-Semitism.
Musk has been interacting with and promoting openly anti-Semitic material for months now (see screenshot for an example). From the beginning of his acquisition of Twitter right up to today, nothing he has done makes sense from a purely financial viewpoint. It's bad enough to be driven only by the desire for financial gain, but he is apparently even more hateful and destructive than that.
Is there something about automobile executives specifically that makes them raving racist anti-Semites? Henry Ford is another such case.

- which has spied on activists, trained law enforcement, smeared antifa and anarchists, supported repressive governments in South Africa and Israel - is definitely not an ally.

Absolutely. To quote a Jewish commenter (@elivalley) on the site formerly known as Twitter:
"The ADL is an apartheid advocacy organization *AND ALSO* the current campaign against it is orchestrated by genocidal Nazis that Musk has recruited to be the dominant voices on Twitter."
