Somewhat interesting that the full context of the thread is not published or any discussion around it, only the one sentence from Musk and a few words from the post to which he was responding.
If one can't comment on something without opening up one's comment to accusations of anti-Semitism (a problem most people on Twitter do not have), when one is the owner of Twitter, perhaps one could stand to comment less.
musk: "The ADL unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel. This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups who are their primary threat. It is not right and needs to stop."
whatsupfranks: "Yes, but this is not fair to say or truthful to say that ‘Jewish communities’ promote dialectical hatred towards white. Say what you want about the ADL, but don’t generalize the Jewish community."
musk: "You right that this does not extend to all Jewish communities, but it is also not just limited to ADL"
musk: "And, at the risk of being repetitive, I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind."
And Musk, if anyone, should know those visibility rules on the service he owns.
My gut reaction to claims like these, especially such severe ones, is always to be extremely suspicious about them. Especially if they are made about someone people want to see failing.
This is the era in which we should all re-calibrate our baloney sensors to be less benefit-of-the-doubt.
The benefit of the doubt is giving the fascists room to win.
p.s:
> I only see some allegations that link to other allegations.
Yeah, Twitter is pretty shit for discovery these days since Musk broke the way it works without being logged in under a Twitter account. I solved that problem by not caring; I quit Twitter years ago and I'm not going to re-up to workaround it getting worse.
It turns out I don't actually need to know everything everyone says on a topic. I can choose to ignore the signal on Twitter as "Too broken to care."

Text of the Xeet, which includes screenshots:
"This is literally the conspiracy theory espoused by the white supremacist who massacred the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue. Musk approves."
edit: clarified
The ADL also defines racism as something that only white people are capable of. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/us/anti-defamation-league-rac... They changed the definition in 2022 from: "Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics. Racial separatism is the belief, most of the time based on racism, that different races should remain segregated and apart from one another." to "The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people."
Just curious, did you actually RTFA that you're misquoting?
Here is one of his responses further down: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1724934935943979269
sadly, this is a common occurrence for elmu, saying something horrible with a clear intention to troll people who disagree with horrible things, claiming his intentionally ambiguous post was misinterpreted, etc.
Those who give him the benefit of the doubt after him having done this so frequently are likely just fans of his engaging in sophistry.

To me, it does not sound like Musk hates Jews, honestly don't know how anyone can take that away from this exchange.
Here is the post in question, I urge you to read what everyone is actually discussing:

"You have said the actual truth" in response to a post railing on jews. What he said after that is irrelevant, because the only appropriate responses to posts railing on jews is flatly ignoring or condemning them. Agreeing is the literal opposite.
Musk has had a previous series of exchanges and controversies specifically with the ADL as well since they started a multi-brand advertising boycott immediately after he bought the company. That’s why he mentions it.
"You have said the actual truth" is what elmu said in response to a post railing on jews.
---> What he said after that, about the ADL or whatever, is irrelevant <---, because the only appropriate responses to posts railing on jews is flatly ignoring or condemning them. Agreeing is the literal opposite.
You can't literally agree with nazi shit and then try to walk it back claiming you meant the opposite.
