Elon Musk Faces Backlash Over Endorsement Of Antisemitic Post

The White House on Friday (local time) hit out at billionaire Elon Musk for endorsing a social media post on antisemitic conspiracy theory, calling it "unacceptable" and a "hideous lie".

On Wednesday, Musk responded to a post on X which claimed that Jews were stoking hatred against the White people, saying, "You have said the actual truth."

Musk's reaction to the post appeared to be an endorsement of "white genocide", an antisemitic conspiracy theory, wherein Jews encourage the immigration of "non-White" people to the West in a bid to "eliminate" the White people there. The supposed idea was notoriously adopted by a man who shot dead 11 people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018.
