        Well now you know why you shouldn’t make that assumption about Elon, so you’re going to admit that he might be antisemitic, right?

            What information do you have to assume that he believes Jews are white?

            Has he ever said that Jews are white?

            Has he ever even implied that Jews are white?

            Because the only evidence I’ve seen is him agreeing with someone who is saying that Jews aren’t white.

            So where’s your evidence? Go for it.

                Please read the article I provided for you. It has nothing to do with intelligence.

                There are many intelligent bigots out there. H. L. Mencken was a bigot who hated Jews. He was also a genius. Bobby Fischer was a bigot who hated Jews. He was also a genius.

                Just because you can’t fathom someone believing something doesn’t mean they don’t believe it.

                Let me know when you’ve read the article and then explain to me why someone has to be “dumb” to agree with the concept that Jews aren’t white.

                    I’ll quote the relevant part for you because it’s what people like Elon believe:

                    “When anti-Semites [talk about] Jews, they mean a racial category,” Gordon argues. “I think they’re looking at Jews the way an anti-black racist looks at a light-skinned black person.”

        I would argue Elon agreed with the fact certain Jewish communities have a somewhat anti-non-Jewish white stance.

        The person who he was agreeing with did not make that statement. So are you saying Elon did not read what he agreed with?

        Here is the full tweet. Again, Elon said “you have said the actual truth” about it.

        Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.

        I’m deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don’t exactly like them too much.

        You want truth said to your face, there it is.

        He didn’t say “some” communities, he didn’t say “non-Jewish white people.”

        And then there was the “hordes of minorities” part.

        And Elon just said “you have said the actual truth.” Not “this is true if you mean some communities of non-Jewish white people even though you didn’t say that.” He said ACTUAL TRUTH. ACTUAL. As in “existing in fact.”

        Elon. Is. A. Bigot.

                Yes, that is correct. If Elon was a bigot (not saying he is or isn’t) I wouldn’t care BECAUSE good things about him outweigh it (IMO).

                People feel the same way about Henry Ford and his newspaper that published the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

                But hey, he was good to his workers, invented mass production and made an affordable car, so we shouldn’t care even though publishing the Protocols in his newspaper was “not cool.”

                No matter if Elon is or isn’t bigoted, at least he is authentic

                Good for him for authentically hating Jews.
