ADL, which had defended Musk, takes issue with his Nazi puns

Elon Musk faced backlash for posting Nazi jokes on his X platform, shortly after being criticized for a gesture resembling a Nazi salute during Donald Trump's inauguration.
The Anti-Defamation League condemned Musk's jokes, stating they "trivialize the Holocaust" and insult the memory of the six million Jews murdered in the Shoah.
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt had previously defended Musk's gesture, calling it an "awkward" moment, but later criticized his Holocaust-related jokes.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Musk, labeling him a "great friend of Israel" and claiming he is being "falsely smeared" after the incidents.
