Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday accused Twitter owner Elon Musk of driving up antisemitic rhetoric on his social media platform in the wake of a remark he made against Jewish philanthropist George Soros.

Musk tweeted a day earlier that Soros “hates humanity,” and wrote that the billionaire and progressive megadonor “reminds me of Magneto,” a comic book villain who features in Marvel’s X-Men series.

“The phrase ‘The Jews’ spiked today on the list of topics trending on Twitter following a tweet with antisemitic overtones by none other than the owner and CEO of the social network, Elon Musk,” the Foreign Ministry tweeted on its official account.

1. Oh, that explains the Rasmussen poll I got earlier this evening.

Several questions about Soros, including whether I agreed with the statement that he hated humanity.

Who are the right wing nutjobs going to blame when Soros shuffles off this mortal coil and everything they blame him for continues on?

5. they will find another Jewish person to blame

feasting on the blood of babies.

7. Yeah, if you hang out with Nazis, you're a Nazi. Period. End of debate.

3. "Musk Stokes anti-Semitism"?

Since Musk destroyed Twitter, it’s MISSION ACCOMPLISHED for him.

That’s the Twitter brand he hopes will bring back advertisers.

Not gonna happen.

Bye Felicia.

4. Conservatives will believe any lie about Jews, especially if it involves Soros.

8. Wasn't Musk's first tweet a Nazi with a homing pigeon?

9. Should not be a surprise

from an Afrikaner groomed as a hater of all non-whites during the apartheid slaughter of Blacks during his formative years.

10. Exactly!!!

12. And this past weekend, Elon Musk tweeted a cartoon quoting /r/Frenworld, a subreddit banned...

...for neo-Nazi content.

The "Fren" terminology comes from /r/Frenworld, a banned group on Reddit that featured the Apu Apustaja frog using "Nazi babytalk", e.g. speaking alt-right lingo while sounding like a small child or a developmentally disabled adult. Sometimes the frogs wore SS uniforms or other Nazi identification. No, I'm not kidding.
