During a conference hosted by the European Jewish Association near Auschwitz, Musk acknowledged the issue of antisemitic content on X, stating that it’s unrealistic to expect the platform to have zero antisemitism with over 600 million users. He also mentioned that X has the least amount of antisemitism compared to other major platforms but did not provide evidence for this claim.
In the wake of facing backlash for his previous posts, Musk later apologized but also made controversial statements that led to rebukes from the White House and advertisers. He has also faced criticism for allowing pro-Nazi and other conspiracy theory content to remain on X.
Despite facing pressure over his leadership of the platform, Musk visited Israel and expressed his support for the Israeli people. He acknowledged the recent surge in antisemitism in the United States and admitted his naivety regarding the issue.
Musk emphasized his vision of “free speech” for X, stating that it aims to pursue the truth while allowing controversial speech as long as it does not break the law. He also encouraged more world leaders to post on the platform and admitted to making mistakes in his past controversial posts.
