Jesus Christ that NYT article has so many weasel words in it. "Seen as", "appear to be," blah blah blah. I hate the NYT.

I mean, they probably don't want to get sued by the world's richest man-baby for libel for declaring it outright.

Even if it's true, they'll have to go through the court case. It'd be pretty hilarious IMO, though. He'd have to prove he's not a Nazi-sympathising piece of shit, which is impossible.

More of the antisemitic conspiracy theory. You can find it easily enough, and amplification isn't a good idea

The tweet seems to have been deleted and none of the articles quote the full tweet. Full context is kind of important considering that's what the news is about, isn't it?
