Elon Musk promised to do “everything possible” to rid his social media platform X of hatred and antisemitism during a damage-control visit to Israel on Monday.
Himself accused of antisemitism after endorsing an antisemitic tweet on the site formerly known as Twitter, the world’s richest man paid a visit to Kfar Aza, a kibbutz attacked by Hamas on Oct. 7, on Monday to hear about the massacre directly from Israeli officials and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
After a joint livestream on X with Netanyahu, who described the Oct. 7 slaughter in gruesome detail, Musk was then given a tour of the Knesset before a meeting with President Isaac Herzog, who told the billionaire he had a “huge role because the platforms you lead have a large reservoir of hatred of Jews and antisemitism.”
