Elon Musk likes antisemitic post saying 'Jews push dialectical hatred against whites'

A reminder that at this time of many Progressive Jews coming to the painful realization about the "woke antisemitism" of their ideological peers and the schadenfreude of some us who figured it out a long time ago that the old type of antisemitism is still very much a big-time threat.

How in the heck are the ADL anti-Asian???

I think the logic goes something like "they support programs such as affirmative action that discriminate against Asians, so they're de facto anti Asian", words to that effect. I think it's a reach, but I'm generally not fond of the ADL, they really did pioneer many of the tactics that would later be deemed part of cancel culture, particularly the profligate use of accusations of antisemitism.

Must be the opinion of Asians whom Musk associates with in Silicon Valley. Worried their little emperors and princesses won't get into Harvard or Yale.

Are you in favor of discrimination against Asians when it comes to college admissions?

Oh, poor Elon. His internal Afrikaner must be so torn. On the one hand, he feels honor-bound to support apartheid wherever he sees it. On the other, he feels an impulsive need to believe non-whites deserve whatever hatred they get.

I'm also guessing Elon keeps his eye on social media and put 2 and 2 together. Asians claim discrimination based on quota systems in Ivy leagues. These quotas are pro-black/latino. The ADL is pro-black. Therefore the ADL is anti-Asian. Seems like a bit of a stretch no?.

Am I in favour? of course not. I am not a fan of quota systems when it comes to universities or employment. But I am also not stupid.

Asian parents (both east and south) "gamify" the system in pumping money into coaching their kids. I work in the university sector and can testify first hand that high marks in highschool don't equate to high marks in university when it comes to Asian students. Why? A lot of them are taught to memorise textbooks. That works in highschool. But In University assessments we value critical thinking and group work. Guess what! they don't so good when they have to apply higher level thinking. Of course this is not all, but certainly a large number. I have seen Asian kids who were valedictorians in their highschool fail first year. They also have high levels of burnout after stressing in highschool to maintain A+ grades. A lot of them can't sustain that level of performance in university.

Then those who graduate from university don't do so great in jobs interviews or jobs. Those who get into professional positions seem to display robotic personalities. Also in the healthcare system they make terrible clinicians. There are exceptions of course, Filipinos are top class nurses.

I know a few things about why interviews were introduced for high demand course like Medicine in Australia. The medical boards knew Asian parents were pushing their kids to do medicine because of $$ and not because they wanted to help people. That makes for bad doctors.

So that brings us to Harvard and other Ivy league universities. Is it discrimination to apply higher targets for Asian students? Actually no. They are limiting the impact of "low quality" high achievers who are not actually the type of student or professional society wants. There is a disproportionate number of Asian applications to Ivy leagues in relation to their population. Ivy leagues know that grades alone don't predict good students so they bought in other methods such as interviews.

There a literally hundreds of research papers on the topic of why GPA is a poor measure of college success. Here;s one written by a successful Asian CEO
https://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/202 ... e-success/

1, IQ alone only accounts for 1% to 2% of income differences in employment.
2. Earning a good grade is not only a measure of subject matter knowledge or intelligence. Instead, it's a composite of knowledge, skills and personality traits.
3.Grades don't measure leadership or comfort with risk, two traits that are essential to the highest echelon of business
4.A grade point average (GPA) isn't an indicator of emotional intelligence or interpersonal skills like networking. It'd be hard to go far in a career without these critical skills.

Jack Tai makes clearly identifies characteristics that are of importance > grades. Often these characteristics (particularly emotional intelligence, personality traits and risk taking) are lacking in certain high achieving students (not just Asians). But! Universities already known for a number of years that a disproportionate number of Asian students are not high in these other characteristics which is why interviews are necessary and why many do not make the cut.

So I am a little surprised Musk subscribes to this frame of thought, It might be interesting to see how many Asian workers he employs? for example did he give this kid a job

More likely he does a lot of business with China, and Chinese owned tech companies so is simply paying lip service

Wow.

X ad boycott gathers pace amid antisemitism storm

Elon Musks goals and achievements are admirable but his philosophy and beliefs aren't exactly orthodox.
Musk endorsing an antisemitic tweet is kind of a Kanye move. People don't expect him to move in that direction (especially since he is Jewish South African himself) but he probably wants to illustrate that X should be open to free speech,

Elon Musk is not Jewish. He is of German and Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry. Even if he was that does not mean he can't be antisemitic. Plenty of people believed he was antisemitic before this tweet.

Never liked him before , another reason to dislike him more.

I don't always agree with Elon and I certainly wouldn't have endorsed that tweet, but he really does have all of the right enemies.

Interesting! Its weird I thought his father was Jewish? He certainly has got himself in big trouble

He grew up in white South Africa where he likely picked up a lot of his values, so either way I am not surprised he supports the great replacement theory.

Elon Musk is now boosting the ‘Pizzagate’ conspiracy theory by Clare Duffy, CNN, Tue November 21, 2023:

Pizzagate...Well he's drinking the same coolaide as Kanye...apparently
