Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Elon Musk after he was criticized for a gesture perceived as a Nazi salute during Trump's inauguration. Netanyahu claimed Musk is a 'great friend of Israel,' arguing that his support for the Jewish state discredits the notion of Musk being antisemitic. This has sparked backlash, with opponents asserting that Netanyahu values Musk's support for Israel more than combating antisemitism. Critics highlight Musk's history of endorsing extremist content, challenging the validity of his defense.
Netanyahu's defense of Musk suggests his priority is supporting Israel over addressing antisemitism, as critics see Musk's behavior as harmful to many communities.
Despite Musk's alleged Nazi salute and promotion of harmful content, Netanyahu emphasizes the billionaire's friendship with Israel and dismisses claims of antisemitism as 'false smears.'
