Elon Musk has faced severe criticism after making offensive jokes referencing Nazi leaders, following previous controversial gestures. His quips, including making light of the Holocaust and using Nazi terminology, have drawn condemnations from organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee. Critics argue that such humor trivializes a horrific past and poses a broader threat given Musk's influential status. Observers note his prior support for neo-Nazi parties in Europe increases the concern surrounding his comments, highlighting an alarming normalization of extremist rhetoric in mainstream discourse.
Wordplay about Nazis isn't funny. It isn't clever. And it's dangerous. - Ted Deutch, head of the American Jewish Committee.
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. - Jonathan Greenblatt, head of the Anti-Defamation League.
