Elon Musk Faces Backlash Over Antisemitic Content on X

Despite Criticism, Musk Visits Israel in Attempt at Damage Control

  • Elon Musk, CEO of X (formerly Twitter), has been accused of promoting antisemitic content on his platform, leading to a significant loss of advertisers and potential revenue.
  • Musk recently visited Israel, meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and touring a kibbutz attacked by Hamas, in what critics have called a transparent attempt at damage control.
  • Despite the controversy, Musk has not removed the offending post or issued an apology, and his platform continues to be a hub for hate speech and conspiracy theories.
  • Musk's visit to Israel has been criticized by both supporters of Israel and Palestine, with some accusing him of using the trip for PR purposes.
  • Musk has agreed in principle to provide internet access to Gaza through his satellite company Starlink, but only with the approval of the Israeli Ministry of Communications.
