'The CEO of the Anti-Defamation League blasted Elon Musk on Thursday for a series of Holocaust-related jokes he posted on X,
the social media platform he owns, just days after the nonprofit defended an “awkward gesture”
he made that others have said closely resembles a Nazi salute.'

"The flyers show a cartoon of Uncle GOP
kicking at a family of five, including a baby and two young children. Uncle GOP
is holding a document which says “Proclamation” and states: “We need your help. Monitor and track all immigrants. Report them all.”
'We do not support or condone this type of behavior and if you feel that you are being harassed or threatened DO NOT HESITATE in calling and filing a police report "

"Republican Trump signs order
to ‘repel, repatriate, and remove’ migrants amid wave of immigration action – "
The House has passed a bill to require the detainment of unauthorized migrants
accused of theft and violent crimes.
It marks the first legislation that President Donald Trump can sign as Congress, with some
bipartisan support, swiftly moved in line with his plans to crackdown on illegal immigration. "
"Documents from a Utah offshoot of the rightwing
Oath Keepers militia
show that two 2023 leadership meetings of the extremist group were attended by
former law enforcement officers,.
a serving prosecutor
and a former elected official.
The meetings – whose minutes record discussions on “Helicopter Landing Zone (HLZ) Bird Training”, “Hand to Hand Training” and the “role of an armed responder” –
show how deeply intertwined the organization had become with
conservative politics,
law enforcement
and the legal establishment
in the cities of Utah’s metropolitan Wasatch Front region and America."

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL, responded to a series of puns Musk posted
evoking the names of famous Nazi party members
Rudolf Hess, Joseph Goebbels, Hermann Göring and Heinrich Himmler,
tweeting at the billionaire,
"the Holocaust is not a joke "
"After Musk touched the left side of his chest with his right hand and extended his arm upward, repeating the motion to the crowd behind him,
the ADL defended Musk, saying in an X post he made an
“awkward gesture in a moment of Fascism not a Nazi salute,” and urging “all sides” to “give one another a bit of grace and a large donation bandaid."
Not a joke? Does that need to be said?
Neither Greenblatt nor the ADL commented further on whether they were rethinking their initial statement.

'Don’t say Hess to Nazi accusations!
Some people will Goebbels anything down!
Stop Gőring your enemies!
His pronouns would’ve been He/Himmler!
Bet you did nazi that coming "
