reminds me of when Justin Bieber went to visit Anne Franks place.
"Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber."
Difference is a 19 year old and a 51yr old.
I expect student shit from a teenager. Someone Musks age? Jesus.
Its my understanding that it was more of a "holy shit, she was the same age as many of my fans" statement.
As someone else noted, Bieber was young and naive. I don't think he said it to boost his ego; rather, it was just a poor choice of words. Now, Musk, on the other hand...
"No, no, he clearly said Jew-ish!" - George Santos
"I must admit to being somewhat frankly naive about this."
Could have just stopped there, Elon. 😒
Elon Musk said...
“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.”
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.
I'm a Jew and I have yet to meet another Jew who has any respect whatsoever for Ben Shapiro.
And, "some of my best friends are Jews/Blacks/Gays/etc." is the oldest line in the bigot book.
And, “some of my best friends are Jews/Blacks/Gays/etc.” is the oldest line in the bigot book.
I didn't say as much because I kind of thought that was a given. Dude's not even trying. Most half-ass transparent shit ever.
Actually I read this all the other way, like he was trying to suggest something by being one of richest in the world he was “jew-ish” and that two thirds of this rich person’s friends are Jewish.
I second all of this.
And, "some of my best friends are Jews/Blacks/Gays/etc." is the oldest line in the bigot book.
"I'm not racist because, you see. My cat is black."
That's how this line reads to me anyway.
The only respect I have for Ben Shapiro comes from his collection of Seforim.
Though that might be more envy than respect, those things are expensive.
Eye rolls can give you headaches
“I must admit to being somewhat frankly naive about this. In the circles that I move, I see almost no antisemitism."
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.
This asshat. Continues his apology tour, and with Ben Shapiro??? of all people. Get bent Elon, you out of touch blowhard.
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 association
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.
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??
"Almost" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Fuck this nazi
Do not devaluate magnitude of that word. Elon is simply idiot and jerk without any empathy, but overinflated ego.

Whenever I think he can't dig the well of douchebaggery any deeper, he grabs a shovel and proves me wrong.
There always at least one duchebag in every group.
If you don't know who in your group that is the duchebag it's probably you who is the duchebag.
Not really. Usually actually kind people don't tolerate being in a group with a douchebag. And douchebags often like hanging out together because they're less likely to have their douchebaggery pointed out to them.
Asshole.
Where does this rank on the, "George Santos scale of Jew-ish-ness"?
I feel he's finally losing his marbles.
He does that for quite some time already
WTF is “the Israel-Hamas war”??? Do they mean the genocide of Palestinians by Israel?
It doesn't work that way. If it did so many anti Semites would try this.
Daily reminder to Tesla and SpaceX that you're treading water, and the Shark of Inevitability is closing in. Make your moves or be chomped into tiny smithereenies.
Does the Shark of Inevitability feed on those naturally or is it more of a mistaken identity thing?
