Just two days after it defended Elon Musk by downplaying a gesture he made that observers said was identical to the Nazi salute, the Anti-Defamation League was put in the awkward position of having to rebuke the billionaire for making jokes about the Holocaust.
In response to a series of tired puns Musk made referencing infamous Third Reich figures, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said, “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. Elon Musk, the Holocaust is not a joke.”
