New: After the ADL excused Musk's apparent Nazi salute, a second group of 165 Jewish leaders has come out to say they don't buy it. They're calling for advertisers and app stores to drop X in protest of Musk's role in fueling antisemitism. My newsletter today: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
