“I’m aspirationally Jewish,” Musk said. “So I was like, ‘What are people talking about with this antisemitism?’ Because I never hear it at dinner conversations."
Elon Musk said he is “Jewish by association” during a conversation with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro after a visit to the former Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz, Poland.
Musk, the Tesla CEO and owner of social media platform X, made the comments during a conference on antisemitism organized by the European Jewish Association. The association had arranged for Musk to make a private visit to Auschwitz, where an estimated 1.1 million Jewish people were killed during the Holocaust.
“I must admit to being somewhat frankly naive about this. In the circles that I move, I see almost no antisemitism. … Two-thirds of my friends are Jewish,” the billionaire tech mogul said in a video posted on YouTube by Bloomberg Technology. “I have twice as many Jewish friends as non-Jewish friends. I’m like Jewish by association.”
- goes to auschwitz
- talks about himself
He clearly learned nothing.
reminds me of when Justin Bieber went to visit Anne Franks place.
Its my understanding that it was more of a “holy shit, she was the same age as many of my fans” statement.
As someone else noted, Bieber was young and naive. I don’t think he said it to boost his ego; rather, it was just a poor choice of words. Now, Musk, on the other hand…
“No, no, he clearly said Jew-ish!” - George Santos
“I must admit to being somewhat frankly naive about this.”
Could have just stopped there, Elon. 😒
Eye rolls can give you headaches
This asshat. Continues his apology tour, and with Ben Shapiro??? of all people. Get bent Elon, you out of touch blowhard.
Fuck this nazi
Asshole.
Where does this rank on the, “George Santos scale of Jew-ish-ness”?
It doesn’t work that way. If it did so many anti Semites would try this.
Daily reminder to Tesla and SpaceX that you’re treading water, and the Shark of Inevitability is closing in. Make your moves or be chomped into tiny smithereenies.
You’re right about tesla but much less so about SpaceX.
Time to nationalize spacex
WTF is “the Israel-Hamas war”??? Do they mean the genocide of Palestinians by Israel?
