Read said directly after the introductions (and after a very large crowd had lined up to see the talk) as seen in a video posted from the event. “Now, back in November, you had a message to us. You told us to sort of go fuck ourselves. So, maybe we start there.”

Great opening!

For those who need a refresher, the tweet Musk re-shared that started this whole mess stated that Jewish communities “have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” The post also cited an antisemitic conspiracy of “hordes of minorities” infiltrating Western countries. Musk’s two cents? As he put it at the time, “You have said the actual truth.”

...and...

“I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time,” Musk continued. “But at least you know it’s genuine. ... I think it’s better to be real than to go through a filter.”

So its better to be a mask-off antisemite than closeted even though he claims not to be?
