Twitter owner Elon Musk just blamed the ADL, a Jewish advocacy organization, for the explosion of antisemitism on his platform.
Blaming Jewish people or groups for the hatred of Jewish people is the same perverted logic found in Hitler's "Mein Kampf."
Musk is the world's richest person and his companies are paid billions by the US government.
He posted the message in conversation with Keith Woods, an Irish neo-Nazi whose account Musk reinstated in April a few months after buying Twitter.

@dangillmor I haven't been on social media much this year due to health reasons, but the news that Twitter is now funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars in ad revenue to the kinds of extremists you mention was a deal breaker for me.
I justified it before because there are still important folks (like the disability community) that are kind of stuck there or haven't found another platform yet. But I'm not going to be a party to financially supporting bigots.
