Elon Musk is “aspirationally Jewish” and “pro semitic”
RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Elon Musk, the richest man on earth, has taken part in a live chat on X/Twitter, which he owns, refuting accusations that he and the platform are antisemitic.
In an interview with Ben Shapiro, he said: “My entire life is pro semitic”.
He said his first name has Jewish roots, he went to a Jewish pre-school and had visited Israel twice.
“I don’t know if I am genetically Jewish…but I am inspirationally Jewish,” he said.
The broadcast followed accusations from the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish non-profit, that antisemitism was unchecked on X/Twitter, something Elon Musk angrily denies.
Following the X/Twitter interview, the Daily Wire reports that five prominent Jewish leaders rallied behind him.
