'The Holocaust is not a joke': Elon Musk finally goes too far for Anti-Defamation League

The Anti-Defamation League took criticism earlier this week when it declined to condemn X owner Elon Musk for making a salute at a Trump rally that many overt racists approvingly interpreted as a Nazi salute.

However, ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt on Thursday finally had had enough of Musk's antics after the richest man in the world wrote a post filled with puns about Nazi Germany.

"We've said it hundreds of times before and we will say it again: the Holocaust was a singularly evil event, and it is inappropriate and offensive to make light of it," he wrote in response to Musk's post. "Elon Musk, the Holocaust is not a joke."

Shortly afterward, the ADL itself posted a message condemning Musk for his Nazi jokes.

"Making inappropriate and highly offensive jokes that trivialize the Holocaust only serve to minimize the evil and inhumanity of Nazi crimes, denigrate the suffering of both victims and survivors and insult the memory of the six million Jews murdered in the Shoah," the organization wrote on Thursday.
