Elon Musk is in Israel proper now and seeing the destruction left behind by Hamas along with his personal two eyes — and it looks like he is doing this to fight accusations of antisemitism.
The techie billionaire touched down within the Middle East Monday, the place he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and different authorities officers as they toured the wreckage of the Oct. 7 terrorist assault in one of many focused villages that day.
Musk was taken to a selected dwelling on this village — referred to as a kibbutz there in Israel — and it is stated to be the place a 4-year-old American-Israeli woman was taken hostage by Hamas.
As EM was being proven the aftermath — burned properties and destroyed buildings/roads — a child’s crib was displayed with bullet shell casings inside … which his translator/information says got here from weapons used to fend off the attackers and to guard the Israeli residents.
Elon took all of it in and listened attentively — even snapping some images as they handed all of the wreckage all through this specific kibbutz. While it was most definitely a somber and severe second … some could not assist however discover one thing peculiar about his look.
Of course, we’re referring to the truth that Elon was carrying a bulletproof vest — as was everybody else within the group … however his appeared fairly small on him, nearly humorously so.
It goes with out saying … this go to isn’t any laughing matter, particularly for Elon — who’s beneath hearth for what was a current embrace of an antisemitic tweet … to not point out a report alleging pro-Nazi content material was showing alongside mainstream ads on X.
Elon has pushed again on that latter declare — and even went to courtroom over it — however normally … he is keeping off accusations of antisemitism on his platform, and it seems he is attempting to quell all that by exhibiting face in Israel. As he wrote, “Actions communicate louder than phrases.”
This window for one thing like that is temporary … as Israel and Hamas have agreed to a brief ceasefire as they negotiate the discharge of hostages and the supply of support to Gaza.
