Tech Brief from The Washington Post

This is a Nazi Salute…

Citing “Nazi salute” and antisemitic content,
rabbis break with ADL in pressing advertisers, app stores to drop X

More than 160 Jewish leaders, including dozens of rabbis and mostly left-leaning activists, are making a fresh push for advertisers and app stores to drop Elon Musk’s X over concerns of antisemitism.

In a letter shared with the Tech Brief ahead of its publication Tuesday, the authors — under the banner of a campaign called X Out Hate — write that Musk “presents an urgent danger to Jews” via his leadership of X and “sweeping power” in the Trump administration. They call him “one of the leading purveyors of antisemitism in the world,” citing his recent Nazi-esque salute and Holocaust jokes, his support of Germany’s largest far-right party and the proliferation of antisemitic hate on X.

“When the world’s richest man combines political power with a platform that can mobilize hate, the danger becomes immediate and lethal,” they write. “We face a stark choice: stand up now or watch as hate spreads unchecked.”

The letter underscores divergent views among Jewish leaders in how to respond to Musk.
