It’s a shame the ADL refused to call him what he is when it mattered: a nazi.

Musk doesn't fit the ADL's definition of anti-semite, which is anyone who opposes the State of Israel.

Do you also blame black Americans for conflicts in Africa? Or do you only do only blame an entire ethnicity for conflicts on the other side of the world when it's Jews?

Well I'm not the ADL but yeah I'd say if, for instance, the NAACP decided that anti-black racism was equal to criticism of, say, Zimbabwe. And as long as a billionaire supported Zimbabwe's government it'd be fine if he threw the white power sign at the presidential inauguration. That's basically what you have with the ADL.
