(MENAFN) Elon Musk, owner of X, reacted to the ongoing controversy about Nazi salutes in his feed, sarcastically complaining about seeing too many references to the gesture. On Thursday, Musk posted a humorous remark about losing his mind over the repeated mentions, adding, “This algorithm sucks!! I want to talk to the manager right now!”
This came after claims that Musk had made a Nazi salute during a rally for US President Donald trump earlier this week, a gesture Musk dismissed as absurd. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Musk, calling him a "great friend" of Israel, and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) downplayed the allegations as “awkward,” they criticized Musk for mocking the controversy.
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt specifically condemned Musk's response to the backlash, which included a post with Nazi-related puns. Greenblatt emphasized the importance of respecting Holocaust history, stating that it is inappropriate to make light of such a tragic event.
