Elon Musk made a bit of an oopsie during his speech at Trump’s inauguration by letting the mask slip off entirely. He unambiguously made a “fascist salute” twice. Musk bootlickers predictably defended his gesture, but among his defenders was the Anti-Defamation League, which is an organization that purports to be fighting against hate speech. They called it an “awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm,” which is bizarre for the fact that they’ve defamed college students for simply wearing keffiyehs on college campuses. This led to progressive organizations and lawmakers like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calling out their disgusting double standard on Twitter.
