‘Was He Really High When He Said This?’ Fox Analyst Speculates After Elon Musk Agrees With Anti-Semitic Tweet

Senior Fox Business correspondent Charlie Gasparino was baffled by the deafening silence from the board of Tesla Motors after Elon Musk agreed with a blatantly anti-Semitic tweet.

On Wednesday, the CEO of Tesla and owner of X, formerly Twitter, replied to a post saying that Jews advocate “hatred against Whites” and want to replace them by saying, “You have said the actual truth.”

Musk tried backtracking slightly, but failed. On Thursday, Musk’s handpicked CEO successor Linda Yaccarino tried to clean up her boss’ mess, but she also fell short.

Appearing on Thursday’s edition of The Claman Countdown, Gasparino wondered aloud where Tesla’s board is.

“I read the tweets,” he said, “It is hard not to– not to think this is just vile stuff. And you know, he needs to come out and clarify.”

He then wondered if Musk, who reportedly uses ketamine, was on drugs at the time.

“What’s going on in this guy’s mind?” Gasparino asked. “Is he losing it or was he really high when he said this, when he retweeted this? Twitter, as you know, is a place filled with landmines. You can easily trip up here, though this doesn’t seem like something that’s easy to trip up. Somebody’s talking about Nazis.”

He then cited a 2019 settlement between Tesla and the Securities and Exchange Commission in which Musk is required to have his social media posts pre-cleared by an “experienced securities lawyer.” The agreement came after Musk claimed in 2018 that he was considering a go-private bid at $420 a share and dubiously claimed that he had “funding secured” for such a deal.

“The board is supposed to be monitoring his tweets,” Gasparino noted. “Where the hell are they on this thing?”
