Elon Musk faced a huge backlash online Wednesday evening after he agreed with an anti-Semitic post made on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The initial post written by @breakingbaht claimed Jewish communities “have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites” with the user adding, “I’m deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don’t exactly like them too much. You want truth said to your face, there it is.”
Musk replied to the tweet, stating, “You have said the actual truth.”
Journalists, political insiders, and pundits immediately began denouncing the world’s richest man. CNN’s Jake Tapper noted that Musks’ comments come amid a time of rising anti-Semitism and violence against Jews.

The frontpage story of the Drudge Report featured a tweet by journalist Matthew Yglesias who claimed Musk is saying “Jews are getting what we deserve for being liberals.” Yglesias also poked at the relationship between Musk and the Anti-Defamation League who last month resumed advertising on Twitter.

The ADL clearly had Musk all wrong, the dude has zero tolerance for anti-semitism and just wants the world to know that “Hitler was right” about the Jews because Jews advance “hatred against whites.” pic.twitter.com/dHc31IUoRD

Push back continued online with some users demanding a boycott to companies owned by Musk such as Tesla.

Musk also received praised from White nationalist Nick Fuentes. Meanwhile, the X account for the far-right social media company Gab wrote a post claiming they “red pilled” Musk.
