Is Musk risking a Tesla boycott over his anti-Semitism?

When you live in NY and have Jewish friends, you get to know it pretty damn well.

I get what you are saying. We all are attuned to local dog whistles.

You can also go to F.I.R.E.

I'd argue FIRE is the most pure 1st Amendment defender group out there now, but thats just me talking.

I'd agree. the issue is, like the ACLU, how long can they keep it up.

He can say whatever he wants. Its his company but actions/words can have consequences.

And being a CIA Control Opposition asset I am sure that every statement will have been carefully considered and thought through in the greatest detail for likely results beforehand

It is quite possible there is more to this story. That he really said this and/or really meant what it appears to say remains in doubt for me. If it turns out he did, there should be and will be "consequences".

ACLJ is more established.

Will check them out. I've followed F.I.R.E for about a decade now.

He definitely has the support now of the jihad squad in congress.

For criticizing anti white messaging?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

How could a person as intelligent as he possibly condone something so absurd as the idea that "Jews" are against "white people"? Surely, some absurd "whites" hate "whites", but Jewish people in general, being "white", certainly are not opposed to themselves.

(Most jews in Israel are not white)

 

[there4eyeM]

(Most jews in Israel are not white)

Please explain what they are if not "white"?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Please explain what they are if not "white"?

African and Arab, mostly

And that's just among the jews, which are only 70% of Israel. The remaining 30% is almost all African and Arab as well.

I was as surprised as you are, when I found this out.

Are they Tesla fans?

 

[berg80]

Yup. The ADL - formed by Jews to fight antisemitism - came out a couple of years ago stating that certain groups were the ones most targeted by prejudice, and omitted Jews from their definition.

The people running the ADL clearly are prioritizing their leftism over their original goal to call out antisemitism, much like the deranged Jewish leftists joining the antisemitic rallies.

They're doing a lousy job then.

He said the ADL, which like the ACLU has given up on civil rights in general and only now supports leftists causes.

The ADL has left the reservation, no matter what they say. They champion lefty causes.

I sure as hell don't know what's going to happen here, but I can't remember another CEO/"Face of a Company" (even though he didn't start it) wading this deep into such hot button political issues. And especially now, when everything is so ridiculously tribal.

Holy shit, TSLA stock is volatile as it is. And come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of stockholder class action suit. Personally, I think he's entitled to any opinion he wants to offer, but you'd think he's putting the company at risk.

Didn't the board try to shut him up a while back when he publicly smoked a bone? He is arguably in violation of his fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value.

Moreover, coming out as a right wing extremist is just stupid.

Because being a champion of Free Speech is now right wing?

Usually you SJW idiots don't admit to it.

How convenient it must be for you to dismiss any factual information in conflict with your misguided opinions. You're a perfect fit for Trumpery.
