Given that he apologized for the antisemitic content, it's not alleged behavior.

The original tweet did not mention any specific organization but the "Jewish community" writ large. The original tweet calls out this community for "dialectical hatred against whites" as a monolith, to which Musk commented that this is the "actual truth."

If <given racial group> is reduced to a monolithic stereotype and then accused of latent hate against another <given racial group>, the content is likely racist. If, in addition to the above, the comment then insinuates the monolithic group is guilty of an international conspiracy... then it's also a good bet that the racist comment is also anti-Semitic.

This episode makes Mr. Musk's bias crystal clear.

Not "Jewish community". "Jewish communitIES". The first wording means all jews. The second leaves reasonable doubt that the author meant all jews, and not just some of them.

Please honestly ask yourself why are you so morally convicted about something you did not quote accurately. I do not imply your bad faith, but something's obviously gone wrong here worth thinking about. Perhaps your anger was actually masterfully manufactured.
