Elon Musk replied to an anti-Semitic tweet on Wednesday by stating his agreement with it.
The original post was by an X user @breakingbaht, who wrote:
Jewish communties [sic] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.
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.
To which Musk replied, “You have said the actual truth.”
The Atlantic’s Yair Rosenberg pointed out Musk’s alignment with the antisemitic rhetoric.
“This is literally the conspiracy theory espoused by the white supremacist who massacred the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue. Musk approves. I have no further commentary,” Rosenberg wrote.
More than 150 Jewish leaders called on Musk to do something about the rampant anti-semitism on X.
“We are a group of rabbis, leaders of Jewish organizations, artists, activists, and academics. We have diverse ideologies and beliefs, but we have come together to address the danger Elon Musk and X represent to Jews and others,” they wrote on the website, X Out Hate.
“Now, after a brutal attack in Israel and a war in Gaza rages, we are seeing the results of X’s abysmal lack of moderation combined with its owner’s own engagement with antisemitic material.”
The leaders’ original letter to Musk was sent before the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that killed 1,400 in Israel. The letter summed up their fear for the future of X.
The Times of Israel reported on Musk’s recent meeting with “right-leaning Jews,” where he denied antisemitism is a problem at X.
According to the article, “Elon Musk…called himself ‘aspirationally Jewish,’ waffled on a prominent rabbi’s invitation to visit Auschwitz, and insisted that claims of rising antisemitism on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, were ‘absurd.'”
