Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis is refusing to condemn Elon Musk ‘s post endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory, maintaining Sunday that he wasn’t familiar with the post despite it prompting major companies to pull advertising from the billionaire’s X social media platform.

“I did not see the comment,” DeSantis, the governor of Florida, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “And so, I know that Elon has had a target on his back ever since he purchased Twitter because I think he’s taking it in a direction that a lot of people who are used to controlling the narrative don’t like.”

Musk has sparked outcry with a recent tweet responding to a user who accused Jews of hating white people and for professing a general indifference to antisemitism. “You have said the actual truth,” Musk tweeted in a reply Wednesday.

    no. don’t put words in my mouth. It’s not pertinent to his campaign. people like you just want him and anyone else to ‘take a side’ so you can have your “gotcha” moment. no one should comment on things they don’t know about. What he said is a perfectly fine answer to a question. you’re just mad cause he won’t stick his foot in his mouth so you can point and scream.

      What side?

      I’m not mad about anything, I don’t care what his stance is

      Notice how I said I don’t care instead of I don’t know?

      Because I’m not going to go digging to find out

        Great, that’s you. you realize not everyone is the same right? or are you that much of a ‘main character’?

          now you’re completely avoiding the topic that you challenged

          Hold yourself to a higher standard

              This dood is either simping for DeSantis or Elon and I csnt tell 😂😂😂😂 why tf are you so adamant about this stupid bs. If DeSantis is saying “he didn’t see the comment” it’s likely because he shares the same fuckin ideals. How hard is it for him to look it up and go “oh yeah that’s antisemitic”. But you’re 40 yo boomer brain can’t comprehend that apparently

                you’re a dipshit if you think 40 is ‘boomer’ age. second, I don’t assume to know what other people mean when they say things. That’s the problem with the internet. everything thinks they can divine what everyone means with everything. There is a such thing as nuance. But that’s lost on the zoomer generation.
